Term
derived characters of chordates
Definition
notochord, dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, muscular post-anal tail
Term
notochord
Definition
flexible rod between digestive tube and nerve cord; provides support (replaced by skeleton)
Term
dorsal nerve chord
Definition
from ectoderm, becomes central nervous system
Term
pharyngeal slits/clefts
Definition
  • for suspension feeding (invertabrates)
  • gas exchange (aquatic vertabrates)
  • ear/head/neck (terrestrial vertabrates)
Term
cephalochodates (lancelets)
Definition
have key traits during as larvae and maintain when adults
Term
urochordates (turnicates)
Definition
has key characters as larvae only
Term
craniates
Definition
hagfish and vertabrates
Term
neural crest
Definition
cells near dorsal edge that migrate to form skull
Term
hagfishes
Definition
  • marine scavengers
  • cartilaginous skull (no jaws)
Term
vertebrates
Definition
lampreys and gnathostomes
Term
vertebrates triats
Definition
  • more elaborate skulls
  • backbone
  • fins stiffened by fin rays
Term
lampreys (habitat)
Definition
freshwater (larvae) and marine (adults)
Term
what type of vertabrae to lampreys have? (describe)
Definition
simple vertabrae: cartilage surrounds notochord
Term
gnathostomes
Definition
condrichthyans and osteichthyans
Term
gnathostome traits
