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.

Why is an advantage that the backbone is made up of small bones rather than one long bone?
The backbone, composed of small vertebrae, offers greater flexibility and mobility compared to a single long bone. This structure allows for a wide range of motion in different directions, facilitating activities such as bending and twisting. Additionally, having multiple vertebrae provides better shock absorption and support, distributing forces more evenly throughout the spine, which helps protect the spinal cord and surrounding tissues.
Why do many vertabrates have the same kind of bones arranged a little different?
Because we're (theoretically) evolved from the same creature(s). Mutations and adaptations have simply changed groups in different ways over millions of years.
What is the collection of spinal nerves at the inferior end of the vertebral column called?
Cuada equina

What is replaced by a backbone in many vertebrates?
It is a flexible, rodlike notochord that runs dorsal to the digestive tract and provides internal support. In vertebrate chordates, it is replaced by a vertebral column or backbone long before maturity.
What does this suggest about the relationship between all vertebrates?
What phrases best describes the function of the vertebral curves?
to provide resilience and flexibility

What the seven main organ systems of a vertebrate?
skeletal, digestive, excretory, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, and reproductive.
Is a sponge an invertebrate or an vertebrate?
