hagfish
freshwater and marine, jawless, larvae also known as ammocoetes larva, benthic filter feeders, similar to lanceletes, notochord is cartilage, keratin teeth, tongue has hard parts, adults are giant fish, ectoparasites, haemophagic, use rasping tongue to penetrate skin

stoma

gnatha
jaw
jaws evolve from (x)
ancestral pharyngeal gill arches
gnathostomes have
jaws, mineralized skeletons, appendicular skeleton
limbs are a part of the (x) skeleton
appendicular, some fins are apart of it as well
also known as the backbone or spine, is part of the axial skeleton. it is the defining characteristic of a vertebrate, in which the notochord (a flexible rod of uniform composition) found in all chordates has been replaced by a segmented series of bones—vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs. it houses the spinal canal, a cavity that encloses and protects the spinal cord
vertebral collumn
the portion of the skeleton of vertebrates consisting of the bones or cartilage that support the appendages. Appendages appeared as fins in early fish, and subsequently evolved into the limbs of tetrapods.
appendicular skeleton
each of a pair of fins situated on either side just behind a fish’s head, helping to control the direction of movement during locomotion. They correspond to the forelimbs of other vertebrates.
pectoral fins
each of a pair of fins on the underside of a fish’s body, attached to the pelvic girdle and helping to control direction
pelvic fins
