Pharyngeal slits
________ or pouches, which are openings into the throat or pouches in the throat.
Echinoderms
________ have a unique series of branching, fluid- filled tubes and chambers called the water vascular system.
Cephalochordates

Bone
________ is a dense tissue consisting of cells and blood vessels encased in a matrix made primarily of calcium phosphate, along with a small amount of protein fibers.
Chordates
________ are deuterostomes characterized by the presence of four key morphological features at some stage in their life cycles:
Urochordates
