"Skeleetal system" Flashcards
chondrocranium in embryo
aka neurocranium. supports and covers sensory structures and brain. made of neural crest up to end of notochord and the rest mesoderm.
trabeculae
cartilages from neural crest (chrondro) fuses into ethmoid plate in development
parachordals
contribute to bones near notochord at the back of the head, occipital arch (chrondro)
chondrocranium contributes to..
temporal (both chondro and dermato), occipital (both chondro and dermato), sphenoid, ethmoid
splanchnocranium includes
aka visceral cranium. includes palatoquadrate/quadrate, mandibular/Meckel’s cartilage/articular, columella, epipterygoid, branchial arches, hyomandibula,
dermatocranium
provides most structure over top of splanch and chondro
dermatocranium forms..
temporal (both chondro and dermato), occipital (both chondro and dermato), parasphenoid bone, palatal series, lower jaw series, dermal roof, opercular/ gular series, choanae, sclerotic bones, dentary
the move to land skull adaptations
chondro= 2 bones to protect ear, 4 occipital bones for moving head. splanch= epipterygoid, dorsal hyoid becomes columella, branchial arches become hypobranchial apparatus for tongue, dermato = longer eye-snout distance and jaws, chonnae (internal nostrils), loss of opercular and gular, loss of connection to pectoral girdle
amphibian skull adaptations
lose a lot of bones (splanch and dermato), hyomandibula is used for tongue support, pharynx for breathing
reptile skull adaptations
diapsid, kinesis (flexible), bone thinned or thickened based on need.
fenestration terms
0 = anapsid (turtles), 1 = synapsid (mammals), 2 = diapsid (all reptiles except turtles)
bird skull adaptations
fuck having bones. sclerotic bones for eye movement, flexible skull, reduced brachial arches
mammal skull adaptations
most kinesis gone, occipital bones fused, enlarged nasal cavity, 2 otic bones unite to protect inner ear, masseter and temporalis muscles, temporomandibular joint for jaw and the quadrate and articular are in ear
axial skeleton includes..
notocord, spine, sternum, ribs, sacrum, medial fins
when do somites form
after neurulation (mid embryogenesis)
resegmentation
somite splits into anterior and posterior parts of vertebrae, muscles split (1 post and ant of next)
in mammals, the notochord..
becomes intervertebral discs
vertebrae purpose
protect notochord, nerve chord, dorsal aorta
intercentrum
bones on ventral side of spinal chord
pleurocentrum
bones on either side of spinal chord
holospondyly
when pleurocentrum and intercentrum fuse
aspidospondyly
when pleurocentrum and intercentrum are separate
types of centrum in spinal cords
amphicoelus (fish/sharks) surrounded by intervertebral pads and concave on both ends, not very flexible; heterocoelus (turtles and 11-25 in bird necks) saddle-shaped on both ends for lateral and vertical motion; procoelus (amphibians and reptiles) concave anterior and convex posterior like ball and socket for flexibility; opisthocoelus (ungulates) convex anterior and concave posterior; acoelus (mammals and birds) flat with intervertebral discs to distribute compressing force
spine changes through orders
chondrichthyans have notochord, bony fish ossify centrum and the rest are similar. bony fish have trunk and tail sections, amphibians add one cervical and one sacral (rest have multiple), mammals and birds add thoracic and lumbar sections
apophyses
poky bone site for muscle attachment
myosepta
muscle threads lateral to vertebrae in fish
zygapophyses
interlocking vertebrae (2 sites of attachment) to resist twisting
tetrapod ribs
attached at capitulum and tuberculum, attach at sternum in some animals using costal cartilage
costal
flexible
bird vertebrae
cervical are heterocoelus, end of thoracic and lumbar vertebrae fuse into synsacrum which attaches to innominate bone fused with pelvic girdle
mammal vertebrae/ribs
top 2 (head motion) - atlas and axis. ribs attach at thoracic vertebrae, lumbar sometimes has pleurapophyses (short ribs) for lateral support. 3-5 sacral vertebrae
appendicular skeleton
pectoral girdle and appendages and pelvic girdle. used for locomotion
the first paired limbs
armored fishes at bottom needed to swim and developed pectoral fins to prevent pitch and roll (supported by dermal pectoral girdle)
ray finned fish fins
the scapula and coracoid attach the pectoral girdle to 3 pterygiophores which have lepidotrichia (rays). most teleosts have tribasic fins and no cleithrum or clavicle. posttemporal connects skull to girdle. girdle = dermally derived
chondrichthyes fins
pectoral girdle connects to (fused) scapulocoracoid, the pterygiophores and the rays are called ceratotrichia (also tribasic). no dermal bone (obvs)
polypterus
ray-finned fish that has lungs and more dermal bone in limbs. woah
sarcopterygii fins
monobasic fin (single pterygiophore), then humerus and rays, and coelocanths have more pterygiophores on one axis (leading to limb formation)
tetrapod limb sections
SZA! (proximal>distal): stylopod (humerus/femur), zeugopod (radius and ulna/tibia and fibula), autopod (hand/foot bones)
tetrapod appendicular modifications
cleithrum, clavicle, scapulocoracoid, are no longer attached to head, interclavicle added, attaches pelvic girdle (ilium, ischium) to axial skeleton
olecranon
elbow bone
reptile and amphibian appendicular modifications
glenoid fossa for humerus articulation, we get elbows and sternum, scapula (shoulder blade), they have carpal fusion to strengthen hand (too many bones to protect). astragalus (fusion in foot) to increase rotation, frogs have long ilium with urostyle (made of fused sacral) for jumping
bird appendicular modifications
bipedal - legs rotated 90deg. tibia supports leg and fibula is greatly reduced to hold muscle. tibiotarsus - tibia and tarsals fuse. thin scapula, strong coracoid (flapping), fused clavicle, huge keeled sternum, strong pelvis (not fused, have articulation)
symphysis
fusion of bones
mammal appendicular modifications
large scapula for dorsal muscles, less bulky pelvis with larger posterior ilium opening for muscles (obturator foramen), longer stylopod, patella helps move tendon over knee joint, reduced number of carpals and tarsals, forearms become weak, radius rotates around ulna for arm rotation
elephant fact
femur head is to the side so they can stand on two feet, in other tetrapods it is medial
different forms of wings
dinosaurs - membrane connects to body, attached to a really long fourth finger and the first 3 are for gripping about halfway down. birds - middle 3 digits exist but don’t do much, feathers on post humerus, ulna, and hand bones. bats - 4 digits spread out with membrane, thumb is exposed for grasping
hyostyly
sharks, hyomandibula is attachment point for jaws so they can swivel
metautostyly
quadrate and articular attached to end of jaw so they can swivel (lizards)
autostyly
(mammals) upper jaw is fused to skull (dentary (lower) and squamosal (upper))
rostral
towards snout/front
transverse plane
cutting perpendicular to spine
