Q

Explain the synthesis of cartilage and bone

A

A preliminary step in the formation of skeletal tissues is the synthesis of collagen by the fibroblast. Collagen is a proteinaceous fibril. Fibrils aggregate to form collagen fibers. The fibers form dense collagen bundles that are woven into a compact network of dense connective tissue like that found in dermis, tendons and ligaments. It is on this network that minerals are deposited to form cartilage and bone.

A

Mandibular Arch

Incus
Hyoid Arch
Stapes
Ceratohyal
basihyal

105
Q

This is a rather primitive arrangement found in Crossopterygii and some primitive sharks (e.g. Heptanchus, Hexanchus).
The quadrate or the basal and otic processes of upper jaw (mandibular arch) are attached by ligaments to chondrocranium.
Similarly, the upper end of hyomandibula (hyoid arch) is also attached to chondrocranium, while the two jaws are suspended from its other end.
This arrangement makes a double suspension (amphi = both+style = bracing) since both the first and second arches participate in bracing the jaws against the chondrocranium.

A

Amphistylic

106
Q

It is found in most elasmobranchs and all bony fishes.
Upper jaw (palatoquadrate) is loosely attached by anterior ethmopalatine to cranium.
Both the jaws are braced against hyomandibular, the upper end of which fits into auditory region of skull.
Since only hyoid arch braces or binds the two jaws against cranium, this jaw-suspension is termed hyostylic. It provides the jaws a wider movement and helps in swallowing larger preys.

A

Hyostylic

107
Q

This condition is found in extinct placoderms, chimaeras, lung fishes and most tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles and birds).
Hyomandibular does not participate but becomes modified into columella or stapes of middle ear for transmitting sound waves.
Upper jaw (palatoquadrate) is directly and intimately bound to cranium by investing dermal bones (auto = self)

A

Autostylic

108
Q

The articular of lower jaw articulates with the quadrate of the upper jaw. Autostylic suspensorium is widespread and has at least 3 variation or subtypes

_____________ :- In Holocephah (chimaeras), upper jaw is firmly fused with skull and lower jaw suspended form it. Hyoid arch is complete, independent and not attached to skull.
__________:- In many tetrapods, hyomandibular forms columella and articular articulates with quadrate. However, the quadrate remains immovably attached with skull.
_____________ :-In some reptiles (lizards, snakes) and birds, quadrate is loosely attached and is movable at both ends, a condition known as streptostylism.

A

Holostylic
Monimostylic
Streptostylic

109
Q

This type of jaw-suspension is characteristic of mammals and some consider it as a modification of autostylic suspension.
Upper jaw fuses throughout its length with cranium, and hyomandibular forms the ear ossicle stapes.
But articular and quadrate also become modified into ear ossicles malleus and incus, respectively.
Consequently, two dermal bones, dentary of lower jaw and squamosal of skull, provide the articulation between jaw

A

Craniostylic

A

117
Q

Ribs of primitive tetrapods are ______ (two head articulate with the verterbrae)

______ (ventral rib head) articulates with the paraphophysis (ventral process)

______ (dorsal head) articulates with the diapophysis(process on the neural arch).

If these verterbral process fail to develop, the articular surface persist, forming a small concavity or _______, to receive the rib

A

bicipital
capitulum
Tuberculum
facet

118
Q

In the thoracic region, the first several ribs are _______followed by _____ that articulate with the sternum. Some floating and most true ribs bear _______ processes, projections that extend posteriorly from proximal rib segments. These processes act as lever arms for inhalatory muscles that flare the rib cage.

Similar rib projections are found in some living and fossil _______, as well as in some early labyrinthodonts.

A

floating ribs
true ribs
uncinate
reptiles

119
Q

Although ribs function in locomotion, in tetrapods they also become important in respiration.
Classification of tetrapod ribs is based on the type of association with the sternum.
Ribs that meet ventrally with the sternum are true ribs.
Consist of two jointed segments, the vertebral (costal) rib and the proximal (sternal) rib.
The joint between these two rib segments allows for changes in chest shape during respiration
Those that articulate with each other but not the sternum are false ribs.
And those that do not associate with anything are floating ribs.

A
120
Q

In most mammals, the sternum consists of a chain of ossified elements in series, the _________. The first and last of these sternebrae are modified and are called the ________ and _________. Thus, a sternum occurs in some modern amphibians and most amniotes.

Q

Overview of the appendicular skeleton:
It includes any projection from the body that plays a role in locomotion or steering. Limbs consist of three major divisions: the proximal, medial, and distal divisions.

  1. _________: the bone that articulates with the girdle and projects laterally from the body:
    Humerus (anterior limb)/ Femur (posterior limb).
  2. ______: the two bones that articulate with the proximal bone at the knee or elbow. Distally, they articulate with the bones of the hand or foot.
    Radius and ulna (anterior limb)
    Tibia and fibula (posterior limb)
  3. ______ is made by three subdivisions:
    a- Carpus or wrist (anterior limb)/ tarsus or ankle (posterior limb)
    b-Palm and sole bones: metacarpal (anterior limb) /metatarsals (posterior limb)
    c-the free portion of each digit: phalanges
A

Proximal
Medial
Distal

a deep socket in the pelvis, articulates with the femur

A

acetabulum

134
Q

Hypotheses in transition from fin to limb
