Pg 560a You should be able to completely fill out this chart (on the right) and the chart for chordates by the end of chapter 31. What differentiates chordates from echinoderms? What is a deuterostome again?
Phylum Chordata Four Main Characteristics Chordates Notochord A dorsal supporting rod Nerve Cord Dorsal tubular nerve cord Anterior portion becomes brain
Phylum Chordata Four Main Characteristics Chordates 6 Pharyngeal Pouches Only seen in embryonic development Tail In embryo if not seen in adult
Pg 560b
Invertebrate Chordates Notochord persists and is never replaced by a vertebral column (Subphylum Cephalochordata) - Lancelets lancelets (Subphylum Urochordata) - Tunicates sea squirts

Vertebrates Subphylum Vertebrata Internal jointed skeleton of vertebrates is living tissue that grows with the animal Main axis of skeleton consists of vertebral columns and a skull that encloses the brain Cephalization is accompanied by sense organs Evolution of jaws and predation Amnion allows reproduction on land

Phylogenetic Tree of the Chordates
Vertebrate Features Living endoskeleton with vertebral column Closed circulatory system Paired appendages Efficient respiration and excretion High degree of cephalization Adapted to active lifestyles How have these features allowed vertebrates to grow so large compared with the invertebrates?
