Wikipedia Articles
- Myomere - Myomere are the the blocks of skeletal muscle tissue found commonly in fish and chordates. They are commonly zig-zag, "W" or "V"-shaped muscle fibers.
- Dorsal nerve cord - The dorsal nerve cord is one of the embryonic features unique to chordates, along with a notochord, a post-anal tail and pharyngeal slits. The dorsal nerve cord is a hollow cord dorsal to the notochord.
- Acorn worm - The Acorn worms or Enteropneusta are a hemichordate class of invertebrates. Acorn worms are classified in the phylum Hemichordata, closely related to the chordates.
- Chordate - Chordates (phylum Chordata) are a group of animals that includes the vertebrates, together with several closely related invertebrates. They are united by having, at some time in their life cycle, a notochord, a hollow dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, an endostyle, and a post-anal tail.
- Lancelet - The lancelets (subphylum Cephalochordata, traditionally known as amphioxus) are a group of primitive chordates. They are usually found buried in sand in shallow parts of temperate or tropical seas.
