Chapter 3, 4, 5 powerpoint Flashcards
what is amniote grouping based on
pattern of temporal region openings of the skull
two things that define temporal fenestra
# of openings position of the bars
No fenestrae,
only seen in ancestral turtles
anapsid skull
1 fenestra
upper rim is the bar which is composed of the squamosal and postorbital bones
ancestors of mammals
synapsid skull
2 fenestrae
mid= upper bar = squamosal and post orbital
lower rim=lower bar= jugal and quadratojugal bones
found in dinosaurs, birds, and other non turtle reptiles
diapsid skull
1 fenestrae
modified diapsid
loss of lower bar
euryapsid
when did synapsids arise in the fossil record
300 MYA
2 subgroups of synapsids
pelycosaures
terapsids
two groups of terapsids
conodonts and mammals
3 extant groups of mammals
monotremes
metatherians
eutherians
hair, suckle young, endotherms
no nipples, no external ears, shelled eggs
monotremes
pouch vs. placenta to nourish young
metatherians
placenta to nourish young
eutherians
forces that can act on weight bearing structures
compression
tension
shear
structure failure over time
fatigue fracture
what in bone allows it to resist propagation of fractures
collagen fibers and hydroxyapatite crystals
regression/reduction from unstressed or constant stress
atrophy
expansion, bigger cells, with stress
hypertrophy
expansion, more cells, with stress
hyperplasia
