How are mammals the same as vertebrates?
All mammals have a spine or a backbone. Another word for a backbone is a "vertebra" and thus all mammals are "vertebrates".
However the presence of a backbone does not DEFINE a mammal because other animals also have backbones, eg reptiles, birds and fish - these animals are also "vertebrates".
Mammals are mammals because they are the onlyanimals to have fur/hair and feed their young on milk (there are some exceptions of non-mammals with fur and who feed milk to their young, not not many).
The reason for all these animals being "vertebrates" is because a long time ago in geological history they all evolved from an animal that had a backbone.
The answer is no, because, well, just look at a picture of a cats skeleton and you'll see why. Snails, for example, are invertebrates. They're extremely flexible. On some cats, you can actually feel their spine.

What sets vertebrates apart from other animals?
The most obvious way in which mammals differ from the other four classes of vertebrates is that mammals nurture their young on mothers' milk.
They need skeleton for strength , support ,firmness of body and in most of the cases in some bones ,bone marrow helps in the formation of blood .e.g. human beings.
What aids circulation of oxygen and nutrients throughout a vertebrate?
Circulation of oxygen and nutrients is done by the circulatory system. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which absorbs oxygen and then distributes it to the body's cells. Nutrients travel in the plasma, the liquid medium that carries blood cells. The heart is what pumps blood so it moves through the body.
