| Definition:
The external appearence of animals usually gives clues to the identity
of their group, and sometimes, to their environment. |

 Structure:
Vertebrates have body regions and locations
shared by all members of this subphylum. The head, vertebral column, and
the rib cage make up the axial skeleton.
The pectoral and pelvic
girdles, with the upper and lower
extremities, make up the appendicular
skeleton. These external parts make up the somatic part of the body,
and the internal organs make up the viscera.The integumentary
(skin) system covering the internal structures reflects by its' shape,
the underlying structures. Vertebrates with four feet are called tetrapods.
 Function:
Vertebrates are easily able to move about in their environments because
of the flexible appendicular skeleton which supports the more rigid axial
skeleton. It contains specialized organ
systems, the viscera, protecting them from injury.
