A sagittal anatomical illustration depicts a cephalochordate, commonly called amphioxus or lancelet, showing the characteristic chordate body plan. The dorsal hollow nerve cord, part of the central nervous system (CNS), runs above the continuous notochord that provides axial support, while V-shaped myomeres form segmental skeletal muscle tissue for locomotion. The pharyngeal region and digestive tract occupy the ventral body cavity. In the biological hierarchy, tissues and organ systems are shown within the whole organism. The site is the axial midline of the trunk and head in a marine chordate. Fields: comparative anatomy and evolutionary zoology.
