Yes, pigs, like all mammals, possess a dorsal nerve cord, which is a characteristic feature of chordates. This nerve cord, known as the spinal cord, runs along the back of the animal and is part of the central nervous system, playing a crucial role in transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body.
Yes
Dorsal means pertaining to the back, so a dorsal nerve cord is essentially a spinal cord; it's the never cord in the back. It connects the brain to all of the body below the head.
Yes. Kangaroos, like humans, are vertebrates, which are a subset of chordates (having a dorsal nerve cord).
A dorsal, hollow nerve cord.
Yes.
The dorsal nerve cord is one of the embryonic features unique to chordates, along with a notochord, a post-anal tail and pharyngeal slits. It is a hollow cord dorsal to the notochord. It is formed from a part of the ectoderm that rolls, forming the hollow tube, compared to other animal phyla, which have solid, ventral tubes. The dorsal nerve cord is later modified into the brain and spinal cord. Dorsal nerve cord is mainly found in phylum Vertebrata. Dorsal means the "back" side, as opposed to the belly side (ventral).

No, these are specific to Chordates
yes because it is a vertebrate
Features are a hollow nerve cord in the dorsalside of the body; ... Larger sharks have been said to exist, but at the moment have not been documented
True. All chordates have a dorsal tubular nerve cord, which is a defining characteristic of this phylum.
