Ch 10 Flashcards
Appendicular Skelton
Pectoral and pelvic girdle plus finds and limbs
Primitive fish replacement bones
Ventral coracoid, scapula, suprascapular
Primitive fish dermal bones
Ventral clavicle, cleithrum, supracleithrum, posttemperal, often 1 or 2 postlceithra
Tetrapod limb arise during embryogenesis as
Limb buds or fin folds
Intrinsic muscles
Axial skeleton-> girdle
Extrinsic muscles
Girdle-> fin/ limb
No dermal bones, replacement bones remain cartilaginous
Cartilaginous fishes
Later bony fishes
Cleithum became major bone
Loss of clavicle
Coracoid and scapula unite and become scapulocoracoid
Brace scapula against sternum
Missing in non-anuran amphibians, some reptiles, some mammals
Form long bone of furculum in birds
Clavicle
Early tetrapods
Similar to early bony fishes except for additional membrane bone(interclavicle) and loss of posttemporal and later the supracleithem
