Chordates are animals that have a fluid filled body cavity with a complete peritoneum and there are two kinds Vertebrate and Invertebrate. Vertebrate Chordates have internal skeleton with a vertebral column. Invertebrate Chordates are a marine animal that lacks a vertebral column and are thought to have evolved from an extinct group of hemichordates. An example of a Invertebrate Chordates would be the Cephalochordata.

Although the majority of animals that make up the phylum Chordata are vertebrates, some invertebrates are also part of this phylum. All animals which have a spine, or backbone, are classified in the phylum Chordata. There are three subphylums in Chordata: Urochordata (tunicates e.g. marine filter feeders such as sea squirts), Cephalachordata (lancelets e.g. sessile burrowing marine animals), and Vertebrata (vertebrates - mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians).
This phylum includes all animals which have a hollow nerve cord and a notochord at some stage during their development. In the case of vertebrates, the notochord is present in the embryo, and develops into the vertebral body.
