Cards

Term
Hagfish
Definition

Hagfish

craniata

contin notochord

smaller and brown in lab

slimy skin

not a large mouth, not toothed.  wrap around prey tie a knot with body an squeeze a chunk off.

Term
Vertebrates
Definition

from an invagination along the doral side of embryo, called nurelation
