The vertebrae are the bones in the vertabral column of backbone that protects the spinal chord and suppots the body. The notochord on the other hand is a mesodermal strucutre of the foetus. It stimulates the induction and differntiation of many hings including the basal plate of the neural tube.

Difference between notochord and vertebral coloum?
1) The notochord is the defining structure of the phylum Chordata, which includes all vertebrates. In its "mature" state, the notochord is a rod of large cells constrained by a thick extracellular sheath and positioned between the developing spinal cord and gut. Turgor pressure generated by notochord cells exerted against the sheath gives the notochord stiffness, imparting the mechanical properties required for one of its main functions as the central axial skeletal element of the developing embryo. 2) The notochord exists transiently during the life of most vertebrates. During its short life, however, the notochord plays another critical role for developing embryos,.producing a variety of secreted growth factors, such as Sonic hedgehog, which instruct surrounding tissues to acquire particular differentiated fates. A number of embryological experiments, for example, tell us that, without notochord-derived signals, motorneurons in the spinal cord would not form, the pancreas insulin-producing cell would not differentiate, and the body muscles would not be produced properly. Without the axial skeletal support of the notochord, many lower vertebrate larvae, such as fish fry and tadpoles, become severely shortened and cannot swim or feed properly. Thus many of the mutations affecting zebrafish notochord development are named after the seven dwarves.
What is vertebra prominent?
The seventh cervical vertebra is called as vertebra prominens. This vertebra has the long and prominent spine. This spine can be felt at the joint of the neck and thorax.
Where are the c5 and c4 vertebra located in the neck?
The c5 vertebra is located in the lower part of the neck, just below the c4 vertebra. The c4 vertebra is slightly higher up in the neck compared to the c5 vertebra.
Where is the T3 Vertebrae located?
The T3 vertebra is located in the thoracic region of the spine, specifically between the T2 and T4 vertebrae. It is one of the twelve vertebrae in the thoracic spine and is positioned below the T2 vertebra and above the T4 vertebra.
What is the flexible supporting structure found only in chordates?
The notochord is the flexible supporting structure found only in chordates. It is a rod-like structure that runs along the length of the body, providing support and allowing for some degree of movement.
What is the Difference between a vertebrate and a notochord?
A notochord is a long, solid chord of solid protein. A vertebrate is a creature that has a vertebra column. A vertebra is short, solid segment of bone. A series of vertebra make a vertebra column or a back bone. Both serve the same function but the back bone is a more complex version.
The notochord is a characteristic of?
The notochord is a characteristic of the 9th & 10th division of the kingdom animalia ,i.e., Protochordata and Vertebra
Do jellyfish have a notochord or vertebra?
No. They have a very simple nervous system that includes neither of these features. Hence, they are not chordates.
Identify one similarity and one difference between vertebrates and other chordates?
They both have a notochord but a chordata does not have a back bone and the vertebrate does
Where is the d 12 vertebra?
The D12 vertebra is the 12th vertebra in the thoracic spine, located between the T11 and L1 vertebrae. It is the last vertebra in the thoracic region before transitioning to the lumbar spine.
What does covertebral mean?
Between two vertebra.
Do frogs have a notochord?
YesIt is true that humans have notochords, however, this is true only when we are a developing embryo (we lose the this post-embryonic structure as adults). The notochord, being the stiff, supportive rod-like structure that it is, allows for us as vertebrates, to develop vertebrae. After the age of four, humans actually do have leftover PIECES of the notochord, which athletes may recognize as disks in between each vertebra within our spine.Here is a useful link!notochord
Is spondylolisthesis the forward movement of the body of one of the lower lumbar vertebra on the vertebra below it or on the sacrum?
Spondylolisthesis is the forward displacement of one vertebra over the one beneath it. It commonly occurs in the lower lumbar region, especially between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra (L5-S1).
The region between the lungs from the breastbone to the vertebra is called the?
The Mediastinum.
What articulation between skull and first vertebra?
occipital condyle
The notochord of vertebrates is replaced by a nerve cord when the animal becomes an adult?
No, the notochord and the nerve cord arise from different germ layers. The notochord is replaced by an ossified backbone, though there are still remnants between the vertebrae. The nerve cord, however, is protected by the ossified vertebral column.
Are lancelets vertebrates?
Lanceletes are invertebrates, because they do not have any spine consisting of a chain of vertebra (vertebral column). They are however related to vartebrates being a mamber of the fylum (major animal group) chordates (chordata) of which also vertebrates (vertebrata) are a member. Instead of a vertebral column they have a rod at the same place made of robust connective tissue, a notochord. The spinal cord (nerve string) of this animal is not encased in this primitive spine, but lies posterior to it. This notochord later developed to a spine consisting of a chain of vertebra in the higher species. The early stages of the embryo of all vertebrates still have a notochord which during the fetal development gives rise to a real spinal column.
