Definition:Skeletal element that forms around the notochord and is part of the vertebral column.
Comment:[homology-note] "In contrast to lampreys and jawed vertebrates, hagfishes were thought to lack vertebrae. Now, long overlooked vertebral rudiments have been analysed in hagfish, suggesting that vertebrae existed in the last common ancestor of all vertebrates.[well established][VHOG]" xsd:string {date_retrieved="2012-09-17", external_class="VHOG:0001143", ontology="VHOG", source="DOI:10.1016/j.cub.2011.07.014 Janvier P, Comparative anatomy: all vertebrates do have vertebrae. Current Biology (2011)", source="http://bgee.unil.ch/"}; [taxon-note] "Typically an endochondral element, in salamanders there is an argument that vertebral development is perichondral and not preformed in cartilage"
