unit 5 Flashcards
what is the skull comprised of
chondocranium, splanchnocranium, dermatocranium
axial skeleton is made of
vertebral column, notochord, ribs, sternum
appendicular skeleton is made of
paired fins or limbs, girdles
embryonic orgin of chondocranium
mesenchyme and neural crest cells
embryonic orgin of splanchnocranium
neural crest cells
embryonic orgin of dermatocranium
mesenchyme of the dermis
brain case of agnatha and chondrichthyes
chondocranium forms the entire braincase
braincase of teleostomi
chondocranium forms the ventral region of the braincase and the dermatocranium forms the dorsal region
what forms the pharyngeal arches and their derivatives
splanchnocranium
gnathostomes jaw and jaw suspension
mandibular arch forms the jaws and in some gnathostomes the hyomandibula of the hyoid arch is used for jaw suspension
pharyngeal arches 3-7 in fish and amphibians
form branchial arches that support the gills and are attachment sites for some respiratory muscles
chondrichthyes jaw and meckles cartiledge formation
jaw from palatoquadrate and meckles cartiledge from splanchnocranium
teleostomi jaws, quadrate and articular bones
jaws: dermatocranium
quadrate and articular bones: splanchnocranium
prehension
grasping and holding prey, swallowing them whole
durophagy
use a powerful bite to crush hard food items
mastication
rhythmic and repetitive movements of the jaw that grind food
suction feeding
rapid expansion of the buccal cavity and pharynx generates a sudden decrease in pressure that sucks prey into the mouth
akinetic skull
one pair of mobile joints, joint between upper and lower jaw. only lower jaw is mobile
