54
Q

WHat are muscle bundles called?

A

myomeres-tapered and w shaped, run anterior to posterior. seperated by myoseptum, attached to epidermis, merge to two big tendions

55
Q

What does the w pattern allow?

A

the muscle contractions to spread all the way to the tail. muscles almost isocentric, prevents bulging

56
Q

What is the purpose of a homocircle tail?

A

fast swimming sharks, high aspect ratio tail

57
Q

What is high aspect ratio?

A

Height is larger than width

58
Q

What do sharks use for bounancy?

A

liver is large and is filled with squalene(lipid),but does not provide enough still negatively bounant

59
Q

Where is the force in the tail directed?

A

Anterial dorsal

60
Q

Where and how are collagen fibers used?

A

In the dermis layer of the skin, fibers are cross helically wound at 55-60 angle. Allows shark to be pressurized. Stores and saves energy. Pressures comes and goes with movement.

61
Q

What are the two types of locomotion?

A

undulation and oscillation

62
Q

What are the body parts used?

A

BCF-body caudal fin

MPF-medium paired fin

63
Q

WHat are the four categories of locomotion?

A

Anguilliform
Subcarangiform
Carangiform
Thunniform

64
Q

What is oscillation?

A

up and down ex manta ray

65
Q

WHat is undulation?

A

wave like movement. stingrays

wave goes faster than the body, loses energy

66
Q

What is axial undulation?

A

travels the entire length of the body

67
Q

What is anguilliform?

A

movement travels greater than one wavelength down the body at a time
ex dogfish, slow locomotion

68
Q

What is subcarangiform?

A

Posterior half of the body is used. less than one wavelength. slowest form
ex. hammerhead, caribbean reef shark

69
Q

What is carangiform?

A

The wave is in the posterios third of the body

ex. ? boney ex. jack

70
Q

What is thunniform?

A

movement mostly in the caudal pedunlce and caudal fin. fast movement. cruising specialists, high lift to drag ratio, thrust goes through the center of the body.
ex.mako and white, bony ex tuna

71
Q

What is BCF?

A

body caudal fin

72
Q

What is MPF?

A

medium paired fin

73
Q

What is critical swimming speed?

A

The speed at which they can swim constantly with aerobic respiration

74
Q

what is burst speed?

A

not aerobic

75
Q

What is the equation for mim energy expenditure?

A

V=0.5L^0.43

76
Q

What kind of swimming do Chimeras do?

A

Combo of undulation and oscillation

77
Q

Who uses BCF undulation?

A

lesser electric ray

78
Q

What is the angle of sharks pectoral fins?

A

negative dihedral angle

79
Q

What are the characteristics of a negative dihedral angle?

A

More maneuverable, but unstable

80
Q

How is the positive dihedral different?

A

very stable

81
Q

How is holding accomplished?

A

The body is at an angle, lift is generated by the body and the caudal fin. No lift is generated by the pectorial fins.

82
Q

How is sinking accomplished?

A

The animal puts its body at a negative angle. The pectorial fins angle up. The angle of the tail thrust does not change

83
Q

How is rise accomplished?

A

It raises the angle of the body. Generates more lift. Uses the muscles and brings the pectorial fins down, generating upward lift. The angle of the caudal fin does not change.

84
Q

WH rays are true punters?

A

Raja eglanteria and Narcine brasiliensis

85
Q

What is punting?

A

Both crura move at the same time in the sma direction.

86
Q

How are the crura attached?

A

THe crura are a part of the pelvic fin

87
Q

What is swimming?

A

Swimming is the transfer of momentum from the fish to the water

88
Q

What is skin friction?

A

also called viscous drag - the friction of the individual water particles.

89
Q

What is boundary layer?

A

it is very close to the surface, from 0-.99 m/s, where there is zero water movement.

90
Q

Where is skin friction greatest?

A

with smooth surfaces, but pressure drag is reduced with smooth surfaces and reduce surface area

91
Q

WHat is pressure or inertia drag or form drag

A

difference between the front and the back

92
Q

What is lift?

A

raises the animal up. Make an airfoil or wing concave it flows over the top greater

93
Q

What happens when water flows over scales?

A

There is back flow over any object. When water flows over mako flank scales they erect as it tries to make back flow but is prevented. This reduces drag. Scales are with in the turbulent boundary layer. Only flank scales are erectable.

94
Q

Where are scales located?

A

In the dermis

95
Q

Less body movement equals?

A

faster

96
Q

What ray went the farthest distance?

A

D sabina, not sig different from U. jamalcensis

97
Q

What ray was the fasted?

A

R. eglenteria, sig different from the rest

98
Q

What ray had the largest duty factor?

A

R. eglenteria sig diff from the others

D. sabina was sig diff from the others - slowest

99
Q

What is duty factor?

A

the percentage of the entire punting event that the anterior edge of the pelvic fin was in contact with the substrate

100
Q

WHat ray had the largest pelvic fin surface area ratio?

A

N. Brasilliensis, sig diff from others

101
Q

What was muscularly different about the punters?

A

Had Lateral pelvic process that the muscles attached to. This allowed better leverage. Also had extra muscle called proximal propterygium depresser and distal proterygium levator.
