Members of phylum Porifera, Coelenterata, Ctenophora, Platyhelminthes, Aschelminthes, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata and Hemichordata fall under Non-chordates. The general characteristic features of Non-Chordates are: They are cylindrical, triploblastic, coelomate, or pseudocoelomate animals.

All chordates share four common characteristics: a nerve cord, a notochord, pharyngeal slits, and a postanal tail. Chordates, including humans, are also all classified as having bilateral symmetry and can be divided into a left and right side.

Those characteristics are cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution.

Chordates are eucoelomate deuterostomes, and probably share a common ancestor with echinoderms. Three important characteristics unite the Phylum Chordata. At some point in their life cycle, all chordates have a notochord, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, and pharyngeal gill slits.
