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 a sparrow an invertebrate or vertebrate?
Vertebrate...... it has a back bone therefore, is considered a vertebrate.
Is an goldfish a vertebrate or invertebrate?
Goldfish, like all fish, are vertebrates because they have an internal skeleton with a vertebral column (backbone) which is a major characteristic of vertebrates.
For additional information on vertebrates and invertebrates see the related questions.
Yes, goldfish are vertebrates as they have a bony spine.

(Not really sure i just got this from my homework.)
What is preservation of vertebral body height?
Preservation of vertebral body height refers to the maintenance of the normal height of the vertebrae in the spine, which is crucial for structural integrity and function. It is often evaluated in the context of spinal disorders, injuries, or degenerative conditions, where loss of height can indicate fractures or other pathologies. Maintaining vertebral body height is important for preventing complications such as spinal deformities, pain, and impaired mobility. Treatments may include surgical interventions, bracing, or rehabilitation strategies aimed at restoring or stabilizing vertebral height.
What was the first warm blooded vertebrate in the Triassic period?
The first warm-blooded vertebrates in the Triassic period were likely early archosaurs, which include ancestors of dinosaurs and crocodilians. Notably, some studies suggest that certain small theropod dinosaurs and early mammals may have exhibited warm-blooded characteristics during this time. This adaptation would have allowed them to be more active and efficient in their environments. However, definitive evidence for warm-bloodedness in specific Triassic species is still a topic of research and debate among paleontologists.
Is the vertebral region distal to the scapular region?
what anatomical term is used to describe the vertebral region to the scapular region
Why do all vertebrates have similar bone structures in the hand?
It is because the first animal to have a hand had a specific bone structure in that hand that was very well adapted. All vertebrate animals with a hand, wing, or flipper trace ancestry back to that first animal with a hand. The bone structure is modified slightly for each animal, but the organization of bones in the hand is the same among all the animals that have a hand.
Why do all vertebrate's have very similar forms during development?
The Genes that control development in different vertebrates are only slightly different from each other
Why are most invertebrates aquatic and most vertebrates are terrestrial?
That is actually not true. The vast majority of animals, including vertebrates and invertebrates, are insects. All insects live on land. As for vertebrates, three of the seven classes are types of fish, and fish species equal the number of terrestrial vertebrate species, at approximately 32,000 types of fish compared with 10,000 reptiles, 10,000 birds, 5,000 mammals, and 7,000 amphibians.
Why the American bullfrog a vertebrate?
Frogs are vertebrates because they have a spine with vertebrae in it.
Any animal with a backbone is a vertebrate. Sloths have bones, including a backbone. So they are vertebrates.
Is the red lipped bat fish a vertebrate or invertebrate?
The red lipped bat fish, like other fish, are vertebrates. They have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.
Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.
Are snails and butterflies vertebrates animals?
Snails have a shell, but no spine. Butterflies have an exoskeleton, but no spine. The defining characteristic for all vertebrates is a spine, so neither snails or butterflies are vertebrates.
What are the three types of hearts in vertebrates?
The first type of heart is the simple two chambered heart, which is found in fish. The second is the third chamber heart, which is found in amphibians and reptiles. Mammals and birds have four chambered hearts.
Is the black hawk a vertebrate or invertebrate?
All species of hawks are birds, and all birds are vertebrates. They have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.
Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.
What group of vertebrates do giraffes belong to?
Giraffes are ruminant, even-number toed, hoofed, placental mammals.
