A lateral schematic of a hagfish depicts an elongate, eel-like body with oral barbels and a linear series of external slime pores along the flank. In zoology and comparative anatomy (ichthyology), this jawless craniate belongs to phylum Chordata, class Myxini. The illustrated structures are openings of exocrine glands in the integument that secrete mucin-rich slime for predator defense. Anatomically, the pores occupy the lateral trunk surface from near the head to the tail. The subject represents marine hagfishes (Myxini), a group of cyclostomes.
