Vertebrata

Characteristics 
Vertebrates are usually characterized by an arranged endoskeletal elements flanking the spinal cord. There are two pairs of elements in each metamere and on each side. They are called the interdorsals and basidorsals, and in the gnathostomes there are two additional pairs ventrally to the notochord, called the interventrals and basiventrals. There are other elements called arcuali, and they can fuse to the notochordal calcification. The centrum is the Vertabra, and the Vertabrae is the Vertebral column.
