same as protochordata
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hemichordata are a a small phylum of marine invertebrates that have a vertebrate like hollow nerve cord and an echinoderm like larval stage.
The "hemi" prefix means "half".

What animals have a true coelom?
Depending upon the coelom, the animals are divided into1)Acoelomates - Eg: Platyhelminthes2)Pseudocoelomates Eg: Nematyhelminthes3)Eucoelomates: - Eucoelomates are further divided into two typesa) Schizocoelom -Eg: Annelida, Arthropoda, Molluscab) Enterocoelom -Eg: Hemichordata and Chordata
What characteristics do Hemichordata share with Echinodermata?
No cephalization Radial symmetry All are Deutorosomes. Another 3, that are better, and more common, are: 1. Entirely marine 2. Water vascular system 3. Spiny skin, which is what Echinoderm means
What is a coelom body plan?
Coelom is a greek work literally meaning body cavity.A body cavity is a space between the alimentary canal and body wall. When it is lined by a layer of mesoderm, then it is called a true coelom. Depending upon this the animals are classified intoAcoelomates - Animals which don't have body cavity. Eg: PlatyhelminthesPseudocoelomates - Animals in which the body cavity is formed from embryonic blastocoel. This blastocoel acts as a body cavity in adults. Eg: AschelminthesSchizocoelomates - Animals in which the body cavity formed by splitting of mesoderm. Eg: Annelida, Arthropoda and MolluscaEnterocoelomates - Animals in which body cavity is derived from entero-mesoderm. Eg: Echinodermata, Hemichordata and chordata.
How many phylums are there in the animal kingdom?
Often there is a consensus of just over 30. Some 'splitter' taxonomists have higher estimates, with Edward O. Wilson suggesting 85. The ones that most people recognise include: Porifera Placozoa Cnidaria Ctenophora Nematomorpha Nemertea Nematoda Annelida Rotifera Platyhelminthes Cycliophora Gastrotricha Loricifera Hemichordata Sipuncula Priapulida (may have been demoted to a class) Entoprocta Ectoprocta Mollusca Arthropoda Urochordata Echinodermata Cephalochordata Chordata
Why are echinoderms closely related to chordates?
most chordates are vertebrates, but some are not. invertebrate chordates belong to two of the subphylum of chordates. Cephalochordata and Urochordata. both invertebrate and vertebrate chordata have a dorsal nerve cord, a notochord, pharyngeal pouches and a postanal tail.
Is hemichordata same as protochordata?
No, hemichordata and protochordata are not the same. Hemichordata is a phylum of marine deuterostome animals, while Protochordata is a subphylum of chordates that includes organisms like tunicates and lancelets. Both groups are primitive chordates but belong to different taxonomic classifications.
What is the differences between Hemichordata and Urochordata?
irum mustafa is hemichordate and kiran is urochordate SIMPLE
What are the examples of phylum hemichordata?
Examples of phylum Hemichordata include acorn worms (enteropneusts) and pterobranchs. These are marine organisms that exhibit characteristics of both invertebrates and chordates. Hemichordates play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, contributing to sediment processing and nutrient cycling.
What is the scientific name of acorn worm?
depends on which species you are talking about - there are about 30 different "species" of Acorn worm and all are under the class hemichordata. -one of these Acorn worm is the Balanoglossus sp., the common representative organism under phylum hemichordata.

What symmetry are the phylum hemichordata?
Adult Hemichordates exhibit bilateral symmetry, meaning their bodies can be divided into two similar halves along a single plane. However, during their larval stage, some species of Hemichordates show a form of metameric or radial symmetry.
What are the general characters of hemichordata?
Characteristics of Hemichordata:-1)Bilaterally symmetrical.2)Body has more than two cell layers, tissues and organs.3)Body cavity a true coelom.4)Body possesses a through gut, straight or U-shaped, with an anus.5)Body divided into three sections, a proboscis, a collar and a trunk.6)Nervous system normally diffuse, but variable.7)Has a partially open circulatory system.8)Possesses glomerulus as an excretory organ.9)Reproduction normally sexual and gonochoristic.10)Feeds on fine particles in the water.11)All live marine environmentshttp://www.earthlife.net/inverts/hemichordata.html
What are the three other groups of vertebrae animals?
In phylum Chordata there are 4 sub phylums. 1.Vertebrata 2.Hemichordata 3.Urochordata 4.Cephalochordata Vertebrata consist of 6 classes. 1.Chondrichthyes 2.Osteichthyes 3.Amphibia 4.Reptilia 5.Aves 6.Mammalia
What are the Classification of invertebrates?
They can be divided into essentially nine subdividions (phyla): -Porifera -Cnidaria -Platyhelminthes -Nematoda -Annelida -Mollusca -Arthropoda -Echinoderma -Chordata (most chordates are those with backbones, so they are usually vertebrates, but some are invertebrates)
