What is invertebrates- An animal lacking a backbone/spinal column “Invertebra” is a term of convenience, not a taxon Phylum Chordata- Includes both vertebrates and invertebrates Phylum Chordata- members possess a notochord (a cartilaginous rod which typically runs dorsally, and can develop into intervertebral discs), dorsal hollow nerve chord (a tube holding nerve chord), pharyngeal slits (like gills), endostyle (organ that assists with filter feeding), and postanal tail (tail extends beyond position of anus) at at least some point in their life Chondrichthyes- These are your “odd man out.” They are cartilaginous fish. They are chordates, but not vertebrates, because they lack a true bony spine. Examples: Sharks, Skates, and Rays?
This why “invertebrate” is a term on convenience, and not a taxon, why “chordate” the appropriate taxon, and why Class Chondrichtyes is involved?
