what are chordata?
Chordata is the most physically complicated phylum in the Animal kingdom. It is the phylum in which us humans are classified in. It is also very diverse, enlisting mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds as primary categories of classification within. It is the largest phylum, with 60,000 living species. Some species in chordata hold records for the world's fastest and largest animals.
comparisons among ANIMALS
All of the chordata that I have picked for this page demonstrate individual and shared uses for their muscular system. The great diversity among this phylum granted me a little fun picking animals. All of these chordata have segmented muscles in their bodies. They also use their muscles for the sake of movement in their environments. Individual uses would be the tail muscles in a komodo dragon and the fin muscles in the goldfish that propel it in water.
