Lab - Mudpuppy Flashcards
The ______, the bone of the middle ear, is a derivative of the ______ in fishes
Stapes Hyomandibula
What makes the mudpuppy so unique/derived?
Necturus retains many larval features (neotenic) and is also fully aquatic
The middle ear cavity is homologous to the ______ of the shark
Spiracular gill pouch (spiracle) - second visceral arch
Name the four main parts of the Necturus head skeleton and state the primary differences between it and the head skeleton of a fish
- The skull (encases brain and organs and includes upper jaw) 2. Lower jaw 3. Teeth 4. Hyoid apparatus (series of bones derived from visceral arches) The Necturus differs from fishes in that it has lost the opercular and gular series.
What is the difference between the Necturus ear and the ear of frogs and reptiles?
Frogs and reptiles have a true eardrum (tympanic membrane) to transmit sound to the stapes - Necturus does not
What makes the jaw joint in Necturus different?
The jaw joint in Necturus lies between the quadrate and the Mandibular cartilage (similar to sharks), not the quadrate and the articular (like in bony fishes) - the Mandibular cartilage never ossifies into the articular
The jaw of amphibians is attached to the _____. Why does this occur?
Skull. This occurs because the hyomandibula became the stapes of the ear in amphibians, so it can no longer support the jaw
In land vertebrates, the _____ part of the hyoid arch and the ______ become incorporated into the hyoid apparatus, which supports the _______
Ventral Caudal visceral arches. Supports the tongue and floor of the pharynx
Name the four types of vertebrae in amphibians and reptiles. How many do fishes have?
Cervical, trunk, sacral and caudal. Fishes have just trunk and caudal vertebrae
What change in anatomy allows for the development of a neck region (and cervical vertebrae) in amphibians?
The pectoral girdle is no longer attached to the back of the skull (as it was in fish), so a neck region can develop to allow for head movement
Why do modern amphibians have much shorter ribs than ancestral forms and most living vertebrates?
They do not use their ribs in lung ventilation so they do not require large, supporting ribs
