    Lancelets
    ::射子

    Lancelets include about 25 species of that make up the subphylum Cephalochordata. Lancelets are also called amphioxus, which translates to “both ends pointed,” because of the shape of their elongated bodies, as shown in Figure .

    Unlike many of the , the lancelets are capable of swimming, however, they spend most of their time buried in sandy, shallow regions of the ocean. Adult lancelets retain the pharyngeal slits , notochord , dorsal nerve cord, and post-anal tail , which are all characteristic of . Although lancelets have a brain-like swell at the end of the notochord in the head region, it is not very highly developed.

    Lancelet (Cephalochordata). Unlike tunicates, lancelets retain all four defining chordate traits in the adult stage. Can you find them?

    Like most tunicates, lancelets are filter feeders with the pharynx situated in an atrial cavity where it functions to filter food particles from the currents that flow through the cavity. Water is taken in through the mouth and expelled through an opening called the atriopore . The mouth has several specializations including a filtering structure, called a wheel organ , that is made up of ridges covered with cilia that help draw in water. Lancelets have a closed with a heart-like, pumping organ located on the ventral side, and they reproduce sexually. Unlike other chordates, lancelets do not use the pharyngeal slits for respiration . Gas exchange occurs through the body wall. The sexes are separate, and is external. They undergo indirect involving a free-swimming larval stage. A significant feature of lancelets, which is shared with vertebrates but not tunicates, is the presence of myomeres. Myomeres are repeating units, or blocks, of muscle that partially overlap to form a row along the body of the animal, as shown in Figure . In addition to segmented muscle tissue, both cephalochordates and vertebrates have segmented bodies.
    ::象大多数土豆一样, 鼻孔是呼吸器过滤器的过滤器, 刺青器位于空腔中, 它的作用是从流经腔腔的流水中过滤食物颗粒。 水从口中吸进, 通过一个叫做小孔的开口排出。 嘴有几种专业, 包括过滤器结构, 叫做轮子器官, 由帮助抽水的硅覆盖的脊架组成。 兰切器有一个封闭的心脏相似的抽动器官, 位于通风侧, 并具有性繁殖功能。 不同于其他的花椰子, 葡萄圈不使用石脑切片进行呼吸。 气体交换发生在身体壁上。 性别是分开的, 外部的。 它们间接地涉及到一个自由旋转的幼虫阶段。 与脊椎共有, 但不提炼液的一个重要特征是存在我的蛋白质。 Myomeres正在重复部分重叠的肌肉单位, 或一些块块, 与动物脑部和脑部结构的一排成一行, 显示在图中。

    of lancelets is quite simple due to the small number of species. There is only one class of cephalochordates, called Leptocardii, that contains two families: Asymmetronidae and Branchiostomidae. Despite the small size of the cephalochordate subphylum, these animals hold an important place in the evolutionary history of vertebrates, a place that is still being characterized and defined by scientists today. This will be discussed in the next section.
