Animals of the phylum chordata include vertebrates and several closely related invertebrates.
All chordates have the following characteristics at some point in their lives :
1.notochord-cartilaginous rod running underneath, and supporting, the nerve cord. In vertebrates , it develops into the vertebral column.
2. Dorsal tubular nerve chord a bundle of nerve fibers which runs down the "back". It connects the brain with the lateral muscles and other organs.
3.Pharyngeal pouches-openings through which water is taken into the pharynx, or throat.
4.Endosytle-is a longitudinal ciliated groove on the ventral wall of the pharynx which produces mucus to gather food particles.
Chordata phylum
Phylum Chordata.
There are three surviving subphylums of Chordata. The first, which branches off earliest, is called Urochordata and contains tunicates. The other two branches fork later, and are the Cephalochordata (amphioxus/lancelets) and Craniata (all vertebrates).
The phylum of a dove is Chordata.
Animals in the arthopada phylum 3 major characteristics. They have three body parts, a tougher exoskeleton, and have jointed legs.
Dogs are in the Chordata phylum, therefore Pit Bulls are in the Chordata phylum.
Birds belong to the phylum Chordata, specifically the subphylum Vertebrata. This means that birds are vertebrate animals with a backbone.
