Subphylum Cephalochordata Lancelets- notochord, dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal pouches, & postanal tail Live in warm shallow waters in the sand Water leaves body through an opening called the atriopore
Subphylum Cephalochordata Lancelets can swim weakly Segmented body
Subphylum Urochordata Tunicates- “sea squirts”- shoot out water when touched Most are sessile & live on sea bottom Filter-feed Hermaphrodites
