Chapter 10 Part 3 Flashcards
Horizontal septum-conn. tiss. divides musc. blocks into:
dorsal regions(epaxial musculature)
ventral (hypaxial musculature)
Dorsal/Ventral in fish is both
used for locomotion
Dorsal/Ventral in birds/mamm.=
epaxial stabilizes vert column
Dorsal/ventral in tetrapods, hypaxial are associate w/
breathing
Axial muscul. supplies
major propulsive forces for locom./constit.bulk of body’s muscul.
Appendicular muscul.-dorsal/ventral musc elevate and…
depress fins
More respons. for locomotion/account for more muscle bulk
Appendicular muscules
Tetrap: Pectoral girdle is hung in place by musc. sling-suspends
anterior part of body
Tetrap: Pelvic girdle is directly attch. to axial skelet.-hip musc. help transmit…
forces to vertebral column
