Tunicates/Sea squirts (Urochordata)

Lancelets (Cephalochordata)

Vertebrates (Craniata - formerly vertebrata)

A. Characteristics 1. Notochord a. slender rod - provides axial support 2. Pharyngeal gill slits a. feeding in “primitive” chordates, became gills 3. Dorsal Hollow Nerve Cord (DHNC) a. fluid filled central canal above notochord b. solid and ventral in other invertebrates 4. Postanal Tail

Notochord

Pharyngeal Slits

Dorsal, Hollow Nerve Cord

B. Tunicates (Subphylum Urochordata) 1. Sessile Marine animals 2. 2 life stages a. larval stage has chordate traits

Page 4: Chordates (Phylum Chordata)   Tunicates/Sea squirts (Urochordata)   Lancelets (Cephalochordata)

C. The lancelets (Subphylum Cephalochordata) 1. small (<5cm), fusiform, Marine organisms 2. Paedomorphosis a. juvenile morph is retained in reproductive adult b. retained larval form of Urochordates in reproductive adults

Urochordate Larva Lancelet Adult

2. Vertebral Column a. Centrum

- Bony vertebral column i. replaces notochord

a. Neural Arch - encircles nerve cord- forms neural canal- some vertebrates lack vertebrae i. Hagfish-strengthend notochord

3. Cranium a. surrounds anterior brain

- bone or cartilage

c. Cartilaginous fishes (Class Chondrichtyes)

- Sharks and Rays - Cartilage skeleton - Multiple gill slits - Oil filled liver for buoyancy

i. Also hydrodynamic lift

Page 10: Chordates (Phylum Chordata)   Tunicates/Sea squirts (Urochordata)   Lancelets (Cephalochordata)

- Reproduction i. Oviparous - lay eggs ii. Ovoviviparous - retain eggs internally until hatching iii. Viviparous - live bearing, nourishment from mother

d. Bony Fishes (Class Osteichthyes)

- Operculum - bony structure covering gills - swim bladder i. burp/gulp - connected to stomach - primitive ii. gas exchange - connected to blood vessels - derived
