Q

Tiktaalik

A

Found on Ellesmere Island
-flat skull, no dorsal, anal fin, retains lepidotrichia, pectoral fin expanded, enlarged pelvis
- more tetrapod like shoulder girdle
- operculum lost
–pectoral girdle not attached to head = neck mobility
-enlarged ribs
-elongated snout

Q

Fins to Limb - separation of pectoral girdle from head

A

Neck!
Spinal Cord
- dual innervation of pectoral fins by cranial and spinal nerves in non-tetrapod gnathostomes
- hypothesized caudal shift of Hox expression shifted innervationpattern of “forelimbs” in tetrapods
—response of part displacement of the pectoral girdle along tetrapod stem

Q

General Limb Development

A

1) Hox expression field determines AP positioning of limb buds (somatopluere, core of LP,, etc)
2) Limb Buds - outgrowth of LP mesenchyme + surface ectoderm
3) Fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) 10 expression in LP mesenchyme establishes Apical Ectodermal Region (AER) in adjacent ectoderm
4) AER expression for fgf4 and 8, which maintains 10 expression in LP
A) appositional growth of limb bud
B) co-optation of Hox exp filled patterns proximal-distal axis
—girdle-style pod-zeugopod-autopod
5) AER exp 4 and 8 which establishes and maintains zone of polarizing activity (ZPA)
6) ZPA establishes Shh gradient = patterns AP axis
- morph. Identities of digits - Shh gradient
7) DV axis = WNT (dorsal)Engrailed/En (ventral) gradient

18
Q

Coracoid

A

Part of pectoral girdle
Will brace shoulder girdle against sternum

19
Q

Clavicle

A

Part of pec. Girdle
Braces shoulder girdle to sternum; attached

20
Q

In Gnathostomes, there are paired fins, what are its structures?

A

From dorsal to ventral:
Lepidotrichia
Radials
Left to right:
Propterygium, mesopterygium, metapterygium

21
Q

In Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes, what are the structures of limbs?

A

Along the stem, there is a reduction of the basal elements, radials are restricted to metapterygium
Along Stem Actinopterygia: there is a relative enlargement of petapterygium

Pan Actinisia + Pan-Dipnoa: established metapterygium axis
Pan TetrapodaL reduction of lepidotrichia, meta= stylopod and zeugopod +carpals/tarsals
- Radials = digits
- Digit 4 = meta, Digits 1-3 pre axial digits, Digit 5 = postaxial

22
Q

What is the spiracle?

A

A hole near the eye and is a respiratory structure
IN Stem Tetrapods Acanthostega and Icthyostega, it is a spiracular notch = otic/tympanic note
Spiracle = fenestra vestibuli
Hyomandibular = stapes

23
Q

Ears: Organ of Balance

A

Evolved from lateral line system

24
Q

Turning Head

A

Lag in endolymph, movement displaces hair cells
Via C VIII/vestibulocochlear nerve
Christa, macula

25
Q

Crista

A

Sensory organ inside ampulla of semicircular canals

26
Q

Macula

A

Modified neuromast organ
- calcium carbonate concretions

27
Q

What is the Octaval System

A

Vestibular and Auditory System

28
Q

What are the components of the Acoustic Ear

A

Middle ear: typanum, middle ear cavity & one or more ossicles
Transforms sound waves in air into waves in fluid

29
Q

Tympanum

A

Collects and amplifies sound waves
- otic notch
-1st pharyngeal septum

30
Q

Stapes

A

Hyoid arch
Hyomandibular
Propagates sound waves from typanum to fenestra vestibuli
Across 1st pharyngeal pouch

31
Q

Crown Tetrapoda (352) is defined by the split between

A

Amniota and Amphibia

32
Q

Crown Amphibia

A

> 7000 species

Impudence - matching ear
Opercular - amphibian papilla system
Pedicellate teeth

33
Q

Reduced eyes, but not all blind
No tail
Tentacle near nostril or eye and protrusible

34
Q

Crown Caudata

A

Salamanders!
Retain train (hence name)
Lack tympanum and 1st pharyngeal pouch
Rely on olfactory cues

35
Q
