1 Flashcards
Structure of vertebrates
Descriptive morphology
Significance of the structure
Functional morphology
Structure - product of development of the individual
Ontogenesis
Structure - product of development of the species/group
Phylogenesis
Phylum chrodata
Urochordata
Cephalochordata
Craniata
With notochord in embryo at least
Chordata
With nuerocranium
Craniates
Derived characteristics of chordates
Notochord Pharyngeal pouches Dorsal hollow nerve cord Post-anal tail Endostyle
1st skeletal support
Notochord
Rod of living cells located below the CNS and dorsal to alimentary tract
Notochord
Notochord in fishes
Persists, constructed within centrum
Notochord in reptiles, birds, and mammals
Almost obliterated
Replaced by a vertebral column or backbone
Vestige in mammals, within intervertebral disc, and none in modern birds and reptiles
Pulpy nucleus
Diverticula of pharyngeal endoderm which grow towards surface abd form gill slits
Pharyngeal pouches
Pharyngeal pouches in fishes
Permanent (gills)
Pharyngeal pouches in amphibians
Temporary (in larvae only)
Pharyngeal pouches in reptiles, birds, mammals
Absent
Serves as skeletal support
Pharyngeal arches
Components of pharyngeal arches
Skeletal elements
Striated muscle
Cranial muscle
Aortic arches
Skeletal muscles
Visceral skeleton
Straited muscle
Branchiomeric muscle
Cranial nerves
5th, 6th, 9th, 10th
Aortic arches
Connect dorsal and ventral aortas
Fates of pharyngeal arches
Mandibular arch (1st) Hyoid arch (2nd) Branchial arch (3rd)
Lateral outpocketings of pharynx, matched on the extrior by paired grooves
Gill pouches
One or more pairs of gill pouches break through to exterior grooves
Serve as exit for water from mouth snd passed over the gills
Gill slits
From anterior to posterior
Enlarged as brain at anterior part
Dorsal, hollow nerve cord
Extending behind anus
Post-anal tail
Midventral mucus-secreting groove in pharynx of protochordates
Homologue of craniate thyroid
Endostyle
Common vertebrte heritage
Vertebrates share a common ancestry and a common pattern of eary development
- Regional Differentiation
Head and Neck
Anterior trunk
Head and Neck
Cephalic - head
Cranial - contains the brain
Cervical - neck region
Facial - face
Anterior trunk
Abdominal Abdominopelvic Inguinal Pectoral Pelvic Sternal
Between the lower ribs and the pelvis
Abdominal
Abdominal and pelvic regions
Abdominopelvic
Groin; depressed regionsat the junction of the thighs to the anterior trunk
Inguinal
Chest region
Pectoral
Region enclosed by the pelvic bones
Pelvic
Region over the breatbone and between thebtwo pectoral regions
Sternal
Anatomical planes
Frontal plane
Saggital plane
Transverse plane
Divides the body into anterior and posterior portion
Frontal plane
Divides the body into left and right sides
Saggital plane
Diveds the body into upper or lower parts
Tranverse plane
Segmentation
Metamerism
Formed by cranial bones and contains brain and its coverings
Cranial
Formed by vertebral column and contains spinal cord and the begginings of spinal nerves
Vertebral
Satellite characteristics of vertebrates
Integument Digestive Coelom Respiratory Circulatory
Integument
2 layers (epidermis and dermis)
Digestive
Complete Ventral and specialized regions Ceca/diverticula - liver and pancreas Ends in cloaca Opens in anys
Coelom
Pericardial
Pleupentonial (pleuralwnd abdominal)
Scrotal
Cavities
