Carnivora
A thick, hollow tube of nervous tissue that runs cranial to caudal; Forms the spinal cord in vertebrates
Dorsal hollow nerve chord
Repeating layers of filtering structures found in aquatic chordates and in the embryo stages of all chordates
Pharyngeal Gill slits
A cartilaginous structural support that forms during neurulation; In vertebrates, it becomes the vertebral column
Notochord
An extension of the spinal cord that extends beyond the typical caudal end of the animal and which may facilitate movement or balance
Post anal tail
Unifying among all amniotes
- covered with fur, feather, scales or hair
- thick , tough skin to prevent desiccation
- advanced kidneys for waste concentration to reduce water loss
Unifying among all Deuterostomes
- true coelom
- radial cleavage during embryogenesis
- true, complete tubular digestive tract connecting a mouth and anus
