Lab 4 - skull Flashcards
chondocranium
encases special sense organis, contrib to skeletal elements encasing brain, back (posterior), sides (lateral regions), and floor of the brain case
from mesenchyme and neural crest cells
endochondral bone or cartilage
dermatocranium
dermal bones encasing the chondocranium
from mesodermal mesenchyme and neural crest cells
splanchnocranium
from mesodermal mesenchyme and neural crest cells
pharyngeal arches that support the pharynx and gills
evolved into middle ear bones, hyoid apparatus, jaws in some gnathostomata
most verts - 7 pharyngeal arches
FIRST ARCH - jaws, palatoquadrate and meckel’s cartilage
jaw suspension
att differently in different taxa
types of jaw suspension
paleostyly, autostyly, hyostyly, modified hyostyle, metautostyly, craniostyly
10 bones of the general teleost dermatocranium
- maxilla
- premaxilla
- nasal
- jugal
- squamosal
- lacrimal
- frontal
- parietal
- interparietal
- dentary (of the lower jaw)
*** called mandible when fused together at mandibular symphysis
3 components of dermatocranium
- occipitals
- sphenoids
- ethmoids (thin curled bones in olfactory chamber/nasal passage)
*** in the anterior of the brain cas
** in many mammals, olfactory chamber divided in 2 by MESETHMOID BONE
????? ID occipitals vs sphenoids vs ethmoids of the chondocranium
capsules formed by the chondocranium
- olfactory capsule
- optic capsule
- otic capsule
+inner/mid ears
maxilla location
front dorsal region of the snout
premaxilla location
most anterior point of the snout/ anterior to maxilla
nasal bone location
top midline of the snout
lacrimal bone location
very front (anterior, dorsal) of the eye sockets (little bone)
jugal bone location
small process on the anterior/lateral/dorsal region of the optic capsules
squamosal bone location
the posterior region of the optic capsule
frontal bone location
dorsal region of the braincase between the two optic capsules
parietal bone location
dorsal, posterior region of the braincase posterior to the optic capsules
interparietal bone location
most posterior region of the braincase, just behind the parietal bone
