Chordata

Phylum Chordata Chordata • : — Protochordata – Triploblastic • Special features: – Bilateral – No – Eucoelomate – pharyngeal arches and slits → ciliated atrium – • Filter feeding & gas exchange • Special features: – Open – Metanephridia-type excretory system (misidentified as protonephridia in most texts) – Dorsal hollow tube and/or secretion into atrium – Post-anal • Classes: – → – Urochordata • mesodermal blocs – • pharyngeal arches and slits – Cephalochordata

Pelagic colonial

Solitary squirt Urochordates – (sea squirts)

Wild convergence! • like early development • Mollusk-like bauplan • Plant-like tunic • -like or gelatinous final Colonial

Larvaceans - • External suspension feeding • “house” • Reduced

Phylum Chordata Axial of a bony fish — subphylum Vertebrata (Craniata) : • Special features: Cranium & – Prolonged embryonic development – Strong cephalization • in cranium – mesodermal blocs →

• Myomeres & vertebrae – Closed circulatory system • Agnathans — jawless • Gnathostomes — jawed vertebrates • — axial skeleton only • — axial + appendicular skelton Figure 3.02
