What are the characteristics of a person as a representative of the Chordate type?

Man belongs to chordates. But in anatomical atlases, we will not see a notochord in the human body. This is due to the fact that we have a notochord only during the embryonic period of development. During the development of the embryo, the notochord disappears. Rather, it transforms into intervertebral discs. These cells, which are formed from a notochord, can be found in the human body up to the seventh year of life. After that, they completely disappear from the body, as the body is constantly renewing itself. All cells are completely renewed in just seven years.
