This laboratory activity is from an OER Resource. In this laboratory, we will dive deeper into the animal world and learn about some of the organisms that are vertebrates. Animals that belong to the Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Vertebrata (from the Latin word vertebratus, which means 'jointed'), in addition to the notochord, pharyngeal gill slits, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, and a post-anal tail possess a backbone or vertebral column.
