Appendicular skeleton Flashcards
bones at the base of the fins
Pterygiophores
sharks, keratin
Ceratotrichia
bony fish to Ichyostega, potentially cartilaginized or osiffied fibrous rings
Lepidotrichia
keratin at tip of lepidotrichia
actinotrichia
bones in a single axis
Archipterygial fin
-name means primitive but its not
more than a single axis-splits
Metaptergial fin
-actually the primitive fin
two types of dermal fin rays
basals -few, proximal
radials- more, distal
what are paired fins used for
maneuverability: steering, stopping, lift
what are median fins used for
Stability, propulsion
upper arm and thigh
stylopodium
forearm and shank (crus)
Zeugopodium
maus and pes
Autopodium
Gill Arch Hypothesis
pectoral girdle evolved from gill arches
fin fold hypothesis
fins develop from lateral embryonic fin folds
gene determines dorsoventral axis
Engrialed-1 gene
formes lateral fold
TBX gene
TBX4-post limb
TBX5 ant limb
dermal armor hypothesis
fins evolved from dermal armor of ostracoderms
the things that will eventually form something
Morphogenic fields
what forms most of the bones of the hand and foot
post axial element
had lateral folds with true pectorals
Agnathans
lost dermal elements
what did they add that increased dive and propulsion
Chondrichthyes
-coracoid and puboischiadic bars
is used in male sharks for the transfer of sperm
claspers
