Phylum; Arthropoda An arthropod is an animal with an exoskeleton, a segmented body and jointed appendages.The word Artropod is from the Greek //'arthron'// meaning joint and //'podos'// meaning leg. It is believed there are around 1.2 million described species of arthropod with perhaps as many as another 8 million yet to be described. Phylum; Chordata Animals in the Phylum chordata have, for at least some of their lives, a hollow nerve chord, [|pharyngeal slits], an endostyle that produces mucus to gather food particles and a post-anal tail (yes we still have the remains of our ancestors tails). Chordata comes from the Latin //'chorda'// meaning chord or string.Depending on the source you will find from 45,000 to 60,000 species of chordata.
