Chordate and Sp. Chord Flashcards
To be a chordate:
- Need a notochord
- Dorsal hollow nerve chord
- Post anal tail
- Iodine concentrating gland
- Pharynx with clefts and pouches
What is a notochord made of?
1) Intervertebral discs
Fibrocartilage made of annulus fibrosis
2) Squishy stuff
Nucleus pulposus
Orange: annulus fibrosis
*makes up fibrocartilage
Red: nucleus pulposus
What forms clefts and pouches in our pharynx
Clefts (bulge in): External acoustic meatus
Pouches (bulge out): Eustachian tube
What are our first and second closest relatives?
chordates
echinoderms
What are somites
Groups of mesoderm that run along dorsal side of embryo
Typical body segment contains
- Spinal cord
- Dorsal root-sensory/afferent
- ventral root-motor/efferent
- Mixed spinal nerve
- Dorsal ramus-smaller
- ventral ramus-larger
3 classes of branches of Aorta
1) Paired to body wall
- Posterior intercostal arteries
- lumbar art
- common iliac
2) Paired to UG system
- gonadal art
- renal art
3) Unpaired to gut tube
- Esophogeal art.
- Sup. and inf. mesenteric art.
- celiac trunk
Thoracolumbar fascia
Thick or thin deep fascia connective tissue that covers most skeletal muscle
TL fascia layers
Posterior-covers epaxial mm
Middle
Anterior
3 layers of ep axial muscles
1) Splenius (superficial)
2) Middle (make up Erector spinae)
**From middle to lateral**
- Spinalis
- longissiumus
- iliocostalis
3) Transversospinalis - semispinalis
- multifidus
- levator costorum mm (brevis and longus)
- rotatores
- intertransverseraii
- interspinales
What penetrates semispinalis capitis?
Greater occ nerve (dorsal ramus 2)
Occ artery
Insertion of semispinalis cervicis
cervical spinal processes
