INTRO TO ENDOSKELETON Flashcards
Provides body shape
Supports its weight
* Serves as levers that together with muscles produces movement
* Protects soft parts
nerves, blood vessels, and other viscera
SKELETON
formed from or within the integument
DERMIS
bone
epidermis to keratin
EXOSKELETON
deep within the body from mesoderm and other sources
Includes:
fibrous connective tissue, bone, and cartilage

MYOTOMES
Myoseptum or Myocomma
a transverse partition or plate of mesenchyme
Myoseptum or Myocomma
Consist of those portions of th epimeres remaining after the formation of mesenchyme
Grow down between the skin and the digestive tract
MYOTOMES
All of the endoskeleton proper is first composed of
cartilage
The endoskeleton of elasmobranchs, for example, is composed entirely of
cartilage
In most vertebrates, the cartilage is replaced by the development of
bone
Not all of their bones arise in this manner, but some of them develop directly from the
mesenchyme
is located on the anterior or head portion of the shark.
chondrocranium
This process involves the replacement of hyaline cartilage with bone. It begins when mesoderm-derived mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes.
Endochondral Ossification
This process involves the direct conversion of mesenchyme to the bone.
Intramembranous Ossification
females are observed to be larger
than males in sharks
