Vertebrates
have an
internal skeleton
that provides
support
and
protection.

(
Pisces
),
amphibians
(
Amphibia
),
reptiles
(
Reptilia

The
phylum Chordata
includes
vertebrates
, which have a
notochord.
Vertebrates have a
dorsal nerve cord
that develops into the
spinal cord
in adults.
Invertebrates
do not have
vertebrae
or
backbones
, but they may still have
hard body parts
such as shells or
exoskeletons.
Fish
are cold-blooded, aquatic animals with
gills
for
breathing
and
fins
for
swimming.
The
nervous system
is responsible for
receiving
,
processing
, and
responding
to
sensory
information.
The
phylum Chordata
includes all
organisms
with a
notochord
, which is a
flexible rod-shaped
structure located along the
dorsal side
of the body.
Some examples of invertebrates include
insects
,
mollusks
(such as snails),
crustaceans
(such as lobsters), and
arachnids
(such as spiders).
