The floor plate is a structure integral to the developing nervous system of vertebrate organisms.

In vertebrate anatomy, hip (or coxa in medical terminology) refers to either an anatomical region or a joint.

In each case, index roads are used to help quantify total impact of vehicle collisions on specific vertebrate taxa.

Another noteworthy example is the familiar vertebrate body plan, whose structure is controlled by the homeobox (Hox) family of genes.
