There are three subphylums in Chordata. Two of them are invertebrates - Urochordata (tunicates) and Cephalachordata (lancelets), while the third is Vertebrata (vertebrates).
This phylum includes all animals which have a hollow dorsal nerve cord and a notochord at some stage during their development. In the case of vertebrates, the notochord is present in the embryo, and develops into the vertebral body. In the tunicates, the adult form no longer has the notochord.
Another characteristic they share is that, at some stage during their lives, they have pharyngeal grooves and pouches that develop into other essential parts of their anatomy (many textbooks still state that all vertebrate embryos have gill slits, but there has been a great deal of development in the science of embryology to refute this claim).
Chordates all have a post-anal tail, which means an extension of the notochord and nerve chord behind the anus, although this feature is no longer present in the mature forms of some creatures such as frogs, and some mammals such as people.
Chordates also have a closed circulatory system, although not all Chordates have an actual heart like the vertebrate Chordates do. They have chevron shaped musculature; are deuterostomes, meaning they have two openings to the alimentary canal, and have three coelomic (body) cavities. They have segmentation which is seen in the arrangement of muscles and in the vertebral column.
The phylum of a stingray is Chordata.
The same phylum you belong to! Chordata.
Dogs belong to the phylum Chordata because they possess a notochord, a hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail at some stage of their development. These characteristics are defining features of animals in the Chordata phylum.
The bat is a member of the chordata phylum, and of the mammalia class, of the chiroptera family.
The Domestic Dog belongs to the Phylum Chordata, Class Mammalia and Order Carnivora.
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.
