components of shark skull
brain case and palatoquadrate cartilage
shark skull - occipital region
posterior; surrounds foramen magnum and includes occipital condyles
shark skull orbital region
otic capsules, orbital, sphenoidal
brain case containing nasal capsules
ethmoid region
brain case ventral articulation
with palatoquadrate
3 parts of basic bony vert skull
one element dermal, 2 elements dermal/endochondral combination
skull roof
dorsal cover of skull, nearly solid with openings for mouth/eyes/pineal, primitively nitched posteriorly, paired bones
5 groups of skull roof bones
tooth bearing marginal, midian, circumorbital, temporal, cheek
bones of tooth bearing marginal series
premaxillary, maxillary
bones of median series
nasal, frontal, parietal
bones of circumorbital series
jugular, lacrimal, prefrontal, postorbital, postfrontal
bones of temporal series
tabular, supratemporal, intertemporal
bones of cheek series
squamosal, quadratojugal
composition of bones of palatal complex
in roof of oral cavity; paired, mostly dermal, some visceral endochondral
early tetrapod dermal palatal bones
pterygoid, vomer, palatine, ectopterygoid
early tetrapod visceral endochondral palatal bones
palatoquadrate, quadrate, epipterygoid
early tetrapod lower jaw articulation
palatal complex with lower jaw via quadrate, basal brain case articulation between basisphenoid and epipterygoid
composition of bones of early tetrapod brain case
not all paired, mostly somatic endochondral, one dermal
dermal bone of early tetrapod brain case
parasphenoid; forms in skin on roof of oral cavity, ventral brain case
4 bones surrounding foramen magnum
supraoccipital, basioccipital, paired occipitals
2 paired bones associated with otic capsules - inner ear
opisthotic, prootic
basisphenoid
median, ventral, anterior to otic region, covered ventrally by parasphenoid, basal articulation with palatal complex via basipteygoid
sphenethmoid
median ossification of sphenoid/ethmoid regions, trough shaped, contains olfactory nerves
progression of skull types
early tetrapod, basal reptile, early synapsid, non mammalian therapsid, mammalian
characteristics of somatic muscles
derived from myotomes somites, always striated, mostly voluntary, innervated by somatic motor fibres, in appendages
characteristics of visceral muscles
derived largely from hypomere, smooth or striated, innervated by visceral motor fibres, in gut
characteristics of fish axial musculature
series of myomeres developed into zig zag important for locomotion, derived from myotome
epaxial muscle of fish
dorsalis trunci
reptile epaxial musculature
(closest to spinal column to farthest) iliocostalis, longissimus dorsi, transversospinalis
tetrapod hypaxial musculature
subvertebral, lateral, ventral series, insertion at aponeurosis
tetrapod subvertebral musculature series
underneath transverse processes of vertebrae
tetrapod ventral musculature series
rectus abdominus
tetrapod lateral musculature series
external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominus
function of connective tissue
produce same contractile strength and protect against breakage and torsion, decreases relative length of contraction
embryologic derivation of cranial muscles
somatic axial from epimere, visceral branchiomeric from neural crest
embryologic derivation of extrinsic eye muscles
3 preotic somites
resulting eye muscles of 1st myotome and innervation
ventral oblique, medial, dorsal, and ventral rectus; innervated by oculomotor nerve
resulting eye muscles of 2nd myotome and innervation
dorsal oblique innervated by trochlear nerve
resulting eye muscles of 3rd myotome and innervation
posterior rectus innervated by abducens nerve
coracoarcual muscles
in fish opens jaw, in tetrapods modified as throat musculature including tongue
branchiomeric musculature
striated, visceral, associated with visceral arches and later face/shoulder/jaw, derived from mesenchyme
evolutionary progression of gill/branchial arch musculature
levators fuse into cucullaris and attach to pectoral girdle, loss of superficial constrictors and interbranchials after operculum develops, loss of levators; then trapezius replaces cucullaris and all other muscles lost or reduced to muscles of larynx
evolutionary progression of muscles of hyoid arch
most muscles lost as hyoid turns into jaw support, most fish retain superficial constrictor and levator, tetrapods modify superficial constrictor into sphincter colli and depressor mandibulae, mammals lose depressor mandibulae while sphincter colli modified into facial muscles and digastric m
evolutionary progression of muscles of mandibular arch
levators lost as upper jaw fuses with braincase, intermandibularis name changed to mylohyoid in mammals
changes in mammalian jaw
mammals moved dermal skull bones inside musculature so lower jaw shortens, old jaw joints become ossicles, new jaw process
3 main muscles closing mammalian mouth
temporalis, masseter, pterygoideus
mammalian depressor mandibulae
function replaced by digastric derived from sphincter colli and mylohyoid
development of pharyngeal slits
in pocketing of endoderm and ectoderm until they make a passage
pharyngeal slit condition of cyclostomes
spherical pouches with small circular openings to external environment either separate for each pouch or joining in a common opening
flap like valve separating lamprey esophagus from respiratory tract
velum
lamprey gas exchange condition
when not eating lamprey ingests water through mouth like normal fish condition, when eating velum closes so blood doesn’t go near gills
hagfish gas exchange condition
eats solid food so no need for isolated respiratory tube, gas exchange continues when attached to prey, nasal opening pumps water past gills
comparison between shark and teleost pharyngeal slits
both are vertical but teleosts have operculum so one opening, while sharks have separate openings for each slit all with own musculature
why are teleost pharyngeal slits more efficient at gas exchange than sharks
operculum stops need for interbranchial septa which allows for different arrangement of gills allowing as much water as possible to pass over gill lamellae
development of tetrapod lungs
analogous to gills, pharynx reduced, entrance to lungs through glottis i.e. ventral floor of pharynx, lungs develop from from pharynx embryologically
characteristics of the teleost swim bladder
dorsal, functions in buoyancy not gas exchange, not always connection between pharynx and swim bladder, most likely a specialization of ancestral lungs rather than ancestral to lungs themselves
characteristics of lungs
trachea > bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli where gas exchange happens, more derived = more surface area
bird respiratory system
lungs + air sacs distributed throughout trunk and some bones, air first enters more posterior air sacs and then moves forward to lungs then anterior sacs and out so that there is constant air distribution - more efficient than amphibians/mammals
characteristics of bird lungs
no alveoli, parabronchi instead which are tiny tubes, allows for one way, constant, flow of air wasting less air
cutaneous respiration
gas exchange through skin, usually secondary ability so mostly still have lungs
functions of digestive system
transport, mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption
divisions of foregut
pharynx, esophagus, stomach - distinct internal epithelia, divided by cardioesophageal sphincter
divisions of small intestine
duodenum following pyloric sphincter, jejunem, ileum, ends at iliocecal valve
characteristics of large intestine
may be divided into ascending, descending, transverse, sigmoid and end in rectum which only exits digestive tract or cloaca which also exits other systems
functions of foregut
pipe taking food to where its treated, little chemical digestion, little specialization before derived animals
functions of stomach
only develops in jawed vertebrates as a storage area to feed food into intestine at rate at which it absorbs chemicals, size reduced by peristaltic contractions, jaws/stomach allow for large meals and then periods without food, in derived animals also chemical digestion
2 part stomach of birds
proventriculus - thin walled and glandular (chemical digestion); gizzard - thick walled and muscular, contains grit (intentionally ingested pebbles) to grind food (bc no teeth)
4 chambered system of ruminant animals
esophagus - rumen, reticulum, omasum; stomach - abomasum
why is a complex stomach necessary?
plant matter hard to digest but very easily obtained, one or more chambers carry microorganisms that digest plant matter
process of ruminant digestion
rumen and reticulum = fermentation chambers for breakdown of cellulose and production of useful material, food regurgitated as cud, further broken down in mouth, then swallowed into omasum and abomasum (mouth > rumen > mouth > reticulum > omasum > abomasum)
