Vertebrates
Vertebrates belong to the subphylum Vertebrata – the largest subphylum of chordates containing several groups of large land animals including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fishes. Vertebrates have spinal columns and backbones. There are now around 58,000 species of vertebrates.

Is an Asian elephant a invertebrate or vertebrate?
Elephants are mammals, so have a spine and are vertebrates.
Do all vertebrates live on land?
Whales are an example of an animal with a spine that lives in the sea.
Placenta is in what vertebrate class?
The placenta is primarily found in the class Mammalia, which includes all mammals. This organ facilitates the exchange of nutrients and waste between the mother and developing fetus during gestation. While some other vertebrates, like certain reptiles and fish, have structures that perform similar functions, true placentation is characteristic of mammals.
Yes, a raccoon is a vertebrate. A vertebrate is any creature with a spinal cord or backbone.
yes anything with a spine is .
What adaptations made it possible for vertebrates to become land dwellers?
Lungs, legs, major changes in renal function (water conservation), "dry" skin.
What characteristics is common in all vertebrates?
There are many such features, including:
1. Mammals nourish their young with milk.
2. Mammals are warm-blooded.
3. Mammals have fur.
4. Mammals have a four-chambered heart.
5. Mammals are amniotes.
6. Mammals breathe oxygen.
7. Mammals have three middle ear bones and a neocortex.
8. Mammals have internal reproduction.
Some of these characteristics are unique to mammals; others are found in some other vertebrates but not in all other vertebrates.
No, crocodiles have a bony spine and are therefore vertebrates.
Why do many vertebrates have the kind of bones arranged a little differently?
They are the result of slight changes in the genetic information that produces them.
Due basically to their common ancestry. Evolution just builds on the past and does not innovate when it can tinker, So, the closer the ancestry is the closer the skeletal arrangement will be.
What vertebrates use gills for breathing?
Gills or gill-like organs are found in various groups of aquatic animals, such as mollusks, fishes, crustaceans, insects, and amphibians.

What are the three parts of the vertebrate skeleton?
They mostly have a brain that connects them, a spinal cord that the life like wires run in. Then there is the back bone the almost important part of your body. Now back to the spinal cord the spinal cord is like a hollow in the inside so that the wires csn run freely and won't get tangled up. the brain is one of the most important parts like the spinal

What is a chordate and what do all chordates have in common?
Chordates are that group of animals having some form of a spinal column (which include the vertebrates).
What can you infer about the bones in the forelimbs of vertebrate species?
Example of vertebrates (having a spinal column) could be humans, whose fore limbs are arms, as we stand upright. Then there are animals like the horse, whose fore limbs (indeed all four limbs) are actually legs.
Which structure is not associated with the development of the central nervous system in vertebrates?
The structure not associated with the development of the central nervous system in vertebrates is the notochord. While the notochord plays a crucial role in signaling and guiding the development of surrounding structures, including the neural tube, it itself is not part of the central nervous system. Instead, the central nervous system primarily develops from the neural ectoderm and includes the brain and spinal cord.
