The video lecture on Phylum Chordata, Chapter 23, discusses the three subphyla: Urochordata, Cephalochordata, and Vertebrata, highlighting the five unique characteristics of chordates: pharyngeal gill slits, dorsal hollow nerve cord, notochord, endostyle or thyroid gland, and post-anal tail. It explains the evolutionary significance of these features, the development of vertebrates from jawless to jawed species, and the role of these characteristics in the life cycle and anatomy of chordates, with a focus on the transition from aquatic to terrestrial life forms.
