Lab 3: Life In Water Part 2 Flashcards
The branchiomeric muscles are what type of muscle and attached where
Visceral muscles
Attached to the visceral skeleton and associated with the hill arches, and their derivatives (Mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches)
The branchiomeric muscles can be divided into muscles associated with what 3 areas?
Mandibular arch
Hyoid arch
Five branchial arches
5 Mandibular arch muscles
Adductor Mandibulae
Levator palatoquadrati
Spiracularis
Preorbitalis
Intermandibularis
The large muscle mass at the articulation of the palatoquadrate and the Mandibular cartilage (jaw joints is the _____
Adductor mandibulae
Powerful jaw closing muscle
Dorsal to the adductor mandibulae, rostral to the spiracle, lying atop the spiracular valve is a small muscle mass that contains two muscles:
Rostral mass: Levator palatoquadrati
-elevators the palatoquadrate
Spiracularis (inserts on cranial wall of the spiracle)
-closes spiracle
Which muscle is found underneath the eye
Preorbitalis
Acts to pull the jaws forward (protract)
-adios in feeding by ext ending the jaws outward toward the prey or to pick up food from the substrate in bottom feeders
Intermandibularis is found where and does what
Arises from the Mandibular cartilage and inserts into connective tissue
Elevated the floor of the oral cavity
Hyoid arch muscles
Interhypideus
Dorsal and ventral hyoid constrictors
Levator hyomandibulae
Levator hyomandibulae
-location
-function
-caudal to spiracle and dorsal to adductor mandibulae
-merges and is difficult to separate from caudal dorsal hyoid constrictor
-Elevates the hyomandibula and jaw
Dorsal hyoid constrictor
-location
Function of dorsal and ventral hyoid constrictor
Caudal to the Levator
-continuous ventrally with the ventral hyoid constrictor
Compress the first branchial chamber
Ventral hyoid constrictor is continuous rostral lay with the
Interhyoideus
Interhyoideus
-location
-function
-beneath Intermandibularis
-elevates the floor of the oral cavity
Branchial arch muscles
Superficial constrictors
Inter branchial
Branchial adductor
Interarcuals
Cucullaris
The branchial arch muscles are responsible for _______
They are divided how?
Operating the five functional branchial arches (visceral arches 3-7)
Levator group- elevates the hill apparatuses
Constrictor group- compressed the branchial region
Interarcual group- extends between elements of a single branchial arch or between adjacent arches and brings these parts closer
The Levators of the branchial arches have fused into a single muscle called a
-function
-homologous to….
Cucullaris
-triangular muscle
-homologous with trapezius, and sternocleidomastoid muscles of mammals
-draw the pectoral girdle and fin cranially and elevates the full apparatus
Constrictor group of branchial arch muscles
Includes dorsal and ventral branchial constrictors and the interbranchial muscles
Both the cranial and caudal faces of the full pouch have finger-like _______
Gill lamellae arranged in a tan shape on them
Function of the dorsal and ventral branchial constrictors
Serve to compress the branchial pouches to aid in expelling water
The inter branchial muscles are ______ in colour, and are arranged in a _______ pattern running between gill rays, and underneath the hill lamellae
Yellow
Circular
The contraction of the interbrachial brings together the __________
Gills rays to squeeze water from between the gill lamellae during expulsion of the respiratory current
Interarcuals include what
Branchial adductor (dorsal and ventral)
Lateral and dorsal Interarcuals
Function of Interarcuals
Bring adjacent branchial arches together and help to compress the branchial pouches
Ventral branchial adductors
Dorsal branchial adductors
function
Decrease angle between epibranchial and ceratobrancial
Decrease angle between pharyngobranchual and epibranchial
Lateral and dorsal Interarcuals function
Draw skjelton elements of successive branchial arches together
Two major divisions of the nervous system
Central - brain and spinal cord
Peripheral -cranial and spinal nerves
The spinal cord has a central _______ and the brain has _____ chambers, the _______, all of which are filled with ________
Canal
Hollow
Ventricles
Cerebrospinal
Cranial nerves originate from the ______ and exit through _______
Spinal nerves originate from the ________
Brain
Foramina holes in chondrocranium
Spinal cord segmentally, with a pair of spinal nerves generally associated with each body segment (vertebra)
Sharks smelling
Highly developed sense of smell (olfaction)
-guides them to their prey
Shark noses and process of smelling
Naris - water enters the incurrent aperature (lateral openings) and passing into the organ of olfaction called the olfactory sac. The water then exits though the more medial opening, the excurrent aperature.
Thin flap-like valve prevents water from entering the excurrent aperture
Olfactory lamellae
Interior of the olfactory sac
-highly folded
-provide a very large surface area for the olfactory epithelium containing the olfactory cells.
Advantages of shark smelling and nerves
The axons of the olfactory neurons that detect odious travel together as a very short olfactory nerve to pass the signal on to the brain
Lateral line system of fishes and larval amphibians purpose
Senses low frequency disturbances in the water
Allows fish to detect pressure waves created when objects make waves or disturbances in the water as they move or when waves created by the fishes own movement are reflected back to them from distant objects
Allows for non vision capture
