Sub-phylum vertebrata is divided into two divisions:
Agnathostomata (lacks jaw) and Gnathostomata (bears jaw) on the basis of presence/absence of jaws.
1. Division Agnathostomata:
This division consist of the lowest or most primitive vertebrates that lack jaws.
They include only one class of living vertebrates, the Cyclostomata.
2. Division Gnathostomata:

It is divided into two superclasses:
Pisces (bear fins) and Tetrapoda (bear four limbs)
