Lancelets and Tunicates Tadpole-like larvae A notochord, semi-flexible rod running
down the length of the animal A dorsal nerve cord Pharyngeal slit, an opening between the
throat and the outside Post-anal tail, waste is excreted at the
posterior end Aquatic animals

A characteristic of the invertebrate chordates is bilateral symmetry (symmetry along one axis)
Very long, tubular body structure
Little specialization Segmentation of the
embryo usually occurs early in development
Has a coelomate (fluid-filled body cavity)
Is a deuterostome (first opening of the embryo becomes anus while the opposite side becomes the mouth)

Are filter feeders of the water; Lancelets use their pharyngeal-gill slits to take in water
Lancelets burrow in soft ground with their mouth facing upward to filter-feed
Urochordates take in water to their body cavity to siphon food (usually plankton)
Plankton gets entangled on the mucus on the endostyle (cavity wall)

Lancelets (cephalochordata) do not use the gills for respiration but resperate through their skin
Urochordata use an internal gill to extract oxygen from the water they take in

Lancelets: closed circulatory
system (has vein and vessels)
pumped by ventral aorta to branched vessels
Lacks a heart Colorless blood
Urochordatas:
•Open circulatory system
•Has a ventral heart
•Contains high levels of metal in blood such as lithium and vandium

Lancelets have a one way stream of wastes that exit the anus
Urochordates take in water through one entrance, extract the food and oxygen before pumping out another entrance

Lancelets: Has a dorsal
nerve running down its body
Slightly larger end at the front which is its brain
Cephalization occurs
Urochordatas:
•Has a nervous system in the larvae stage
•Digests its own brain in the mature stage
•Nervous system soon disintegrates

Lancelets: Are feeble
swimmers Use contraction
of muscles to move the tail from side to side
Urochordata:•Are motile during their larvae stage; they have a tail to swim with•Once they become mature, they attach to a substrate and become non-motile
![Page 15: photo/belize-painted-tunicate.jpg.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649e995503460f94b9bbf9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lancelets: Is gonochoristic
(there’s a male and female individual)
Releases the appropriate sex cell into the water
Fertilization is external
Develops into a larvae stage
Urochorata:•Contain both male and female parts (hermaphrodites)•Do not fertilize themselves but send sperm out to fertilize other indivduals•Keeps the eggs inside themselves
