Summary Introduction

To review:

That characteristics of vertebrate muscles were inherited from invertebrate ancestors.

Introduction:

The skeletal structure of both vertebrates and invertebrates provide a framework and support system to the body along with locomotion and movement. There is relatively much difference in the bone and muscle structure of vertebrates and invertebrates, but studies have shown that there are a few striking similarities that suggest that the complex muscle structure of vertebrates has evolved from a relatively simpler muscle structure of the invertebrates.
