1-pharyngeal gill slit
2-notochord 3-dorsal hollow nerve cord 4-muscular tail that extends past the anus |
|
Name and descibe the three subphyla of Chordata
|
1-urochodates-(tunicates) are suspension feeders living attached to hard substrates in the ocean
2-cephalochordates-also known as lancelets, which look like fish 3-vertebrates-have a vertebral column |

gills

yolk sace
|
|
The _____ is a membranous pouch that holds waste materials
|
allantois
|
|
The _____ seperates that amnion, yolk sace, and allantois from the albumen and provides a surface were gas exchange between embryo and the surrounding air can take place
|
chorion
|
|
What were the first vertebrates that could breed in terrestrial environments
|
tetrapods
