general skull and post cranial Flashcards
cartilage
chondrocytes in lacunae within matrix of proteoglycans, protein fivers (collagen and elastin) and inorganic salts
no blood vessels or nerves
bone
osteocytes within lacunae in matrix of inorganic salts and protein (mainly collagen)
bone has blood vessels and nerves inside
cells in cartilage
chondrocytes
cells in bone
osteocytes
trebecular bone
composed of bony struts called trebeculae, appears spongy
compact bone
does not look porous with naked eye though there are many canals within
ossification
the process by which bone is formed
endochondral bone
cartilage forms first, then is ossified into bone
intramembranous bone
no cartilagenous stage - intermembranous ossification of mesenchymal cells
dermal bones
intramembranous bone formed by ossification of mesenchymal cells in the dermis of the skin
components of the skull N/A
chondocranium, splanchnocranium, dermatocranium
chondocranium N/A
splanchnocranium N/A
dermatocranium N/A
components of the axial skeleton
notochord, vertebral column, ribs, sternum
notochord
HOLLOW IN - elasmobranchii and actinopterygii for notochord to pass, pads in between
TETRAPODS - capped with intervertebral bodies made of cartilage and fibrous connective tissue
MAMMALS capped with intervertebral disks with remnants of the notochord
vertebral column
ribs
COMPOSED OF cartilage and endochondral bone from sclerotome epimere mesoderm
NO RIBS in agnatha and holocephali
GREATLY REDUCED in elasmobranchi
YES RIBS - all others
sternum
components of the appendicular skeleton
girdles (pelvic and pectoral), and paired fins or limbs
YES in extant gnathostomes unless secondarily lost
NO in agnathans
in chondrichthyes, actinopterygii, sarcopterygii includes paired fins and their girdles
paired fins/limbs
pelvic girdle
pectoral girdle
emb. origin of notochord
mesoderm
emb origin of ribs
sclerotome epimere mesoderm
emb origin of the sternum
mesenchymal cells of the somatic hypomere mesoderm
somatic hypomere mesoderm is located
