- Definition: Notochord
- Key Points: Traditional Method of Animal Classification
Maharashtra State Board: Class 10
Definition: Notochord
A long rod-like supporting structure present on the dorsal side of the animal body that keeps the nerve tissue isolated from the remaining body is called Notochord.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 10
Key Points: Traditional Method of Animal Classification
Animals are divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of a notochord – chordates and non-chordates.
| No. | Feature | Chordates | Non-Chordates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Notochord | Present | Absent |
| 2 | Nerve Cord | Dorsal, hollow | Ventral, solid, and paired (if present) |
| 3 | Respiratory Organs | Gill slits or lungs | Gill slits absent |
| 4 | Position of Heart | Ventral side | Dorsal side (if present) |
