Q

post-cranial axial skeleton in agnatha (jawless vertebrates)

A

inc. myxinoidea and petromyzontida (hagfish and lamprays)

large notochord providing structural support

MYXINOIDEA - secondary loss of vertebrae

PETROMYZONTIDA - cartilagenous vertebrae with small neural arches on the dorsal surface of the notochord

38
Q

post - cranial axial skeleton in chondrichthyes

A

inc. holocephali and elasmobranchii (dogfish and sharks)

cartilagenous vertebrae

HOLOCEPHALI - no centra, notochord for axial structural support with neural arches and hemal arches resting on notochord

ELASMOBRANCHII - YES centrum on each vertebrae! notochord through middle of centrum, in all spinal chord through neural arch in all, and dorsal aorta through hemal arch and spine in caudal vertebra
- TRUNK AND CAUDAL VERTEBRAE

39
Q

post - cranial axial skeleton in actinopterygii

A

ray finned fish

ossified endochondral bone from somatic hypomere mesoderm

centra providing major structural body support, with notochord through middle.
very tall and pointy neural spine and noral arch with spinal cord through
ribs attached

40
Q

post cranial axial skeleton in sarcopterygii

A

fleshy finned fish

ossified endochondral bone from somatic hypomere mesoderm

centra reduce or secondarily lost, with neural arches and hemal arches resting on the notochord

41
Q

post cranial axial skeleton in tetrapods

A

solid centra WITHOUT notochord!

ossified endochondral bone from somatic hypomere mesoderm

centrum with neural spine and neural arch with spinal chord going through

to the sides, transverse processes and diapophyses and parapophyses, articulate with the ribs

42
Q

diapophyses

A
43
Q

parapophyses

A
44
Q

in mammals, what do intervertebral discs contain

A

remnants of the notochord

45
Q

regionalization of the vertebral column in elasmobranchii, actinopterygii, sarcopterygii

A

TRUNK and CAUDAL

46
Q

caudal vs trunk region in elasmo, actin, sarcopt

A

CAUDAL - hemal arch and spine with dorsal aorta though
more pointy neural spine

TRUNK - NO hemal arch and spine, instead articulate with ribs, and less pointy neural spine

47
Q

attachment of the pectoral girdle in actinopterygii, sarcopterygii, chondrichthyes

A

actinopt and sarcopt - ATT TO DORSAL POSTERIOR REGION OF THE SKULL

chondrich - embedded in muscle walls

48
Q

attachment of the pelvic girdle in chondrich, actinopterygii, sarcoterygii

A

USUALLY embedded in the muscles of the body wall

49
Q

paired fins in chondrichthyes

A

proximal regions supported by thick skeletal elements (pterygiophores)

*** basal pterygiophores long out along fins, radial pterygiophores along base of fin rays

distal regions supported by fin rays made of keratin

provide stability by preventing pitch roll and yaw AND help with steering

AND in male and intersex claspers of pelvic fins are intromittent organs, sperm transfer

50
Q

paired fins in actinopterygii

A

RAY FINS - thin skin and connective tissue supported by fin rays of bone or cartilage

stabilization, steering, keeping place in water and stopping, propulsion

51
Q

paired fins in sarcopterygii

A

FLESHY FINS - series of bones that articulate with mobile joints, supportive muscles extend into the fins

distal ends generally still have fin rays supported by skin and connective tissue

swimming, pivoting, maneuvering through vegetation, walking on bottom surface, holding position

52
Q

major role of skeleton that differs in terrestrial vs aquatic

A

support of body weight

53
Q

structural differences between terrestrial vertebrates (most tetrapods) and ancestors

A
  1. GIRDLES - larger, more ossified to withstand compressive forces of body weight
  2. FIN RAYS - replaced with digits, more sturdy, flexible, good for grip and balance
  3. PEC GIRDLE no longer attached to skull, and differentiation of cervical region of the vertebral column. good for headmobility, freedom of movement for appendages
  4. PELVIC GIRDLE fused to sacral region of the vertebral column - reinforces and strengthens both structures, and propulsion by hind limbs efficiently transferred
54
Q

home many cervical vertebrae to amphibians

A

only one (versus two or more in amniotes)

55
Q

regions of the vertebral column in tetrapods

A

cervical

trunk (differentiated into thoracic then lumbar in some)

sacral

caudal

56
Q

differentiating parts of the vertebral column in tetrapods

A

sacral vertebrae fused together to form sacrum in some

trunk bears ribs

thoracic bears ribs, lumbar does not

57
Q

vertebral column adaptations in birds

A

in aves, sacral lumbar, several thoracic and caudal fuse into SYNSACRUM which fuses with pelvic girdle

strong and stable for flight, light in weight bc less connective tissue but still strength

58
Q

regionalization of the cervical vertibrae

A

in TETRAPODS:

1st - ATLAS - no centrum, just neural canal, transverse foramen (little holes in processes on sides) ALLOWS NODS

2nd - AXIS - ODONTOID PROCESS to articulate with atlas (inserted into the neural canal) and allows the head to turn side to side **ONLY IN AMNIOTES

in many amniotes (NOT AMPHIBIA), additional vertebrae

59
Q

what cervical vertibrae adaptations to amniotes have

A

2nd vertebrae is AXIS, and may have many additional cervical vertebrae for neck mobility

60
Q

differences in tetrapod limb posture - what, and which taxa generally have

A

SPRAWLED - amphibia, testudinata, lepidosauria

ERECT - mammalia and aves

61
Q

differences in limb movement between sprawled and erect

A

sprawled - recovery stroke needs overarm swing so more energy and slower, more energy into recovery

erect, pendulum like swing in one direction so easier, less energy, more energy into propulsion

62
Q

differences in pectoral girdle for different limb postures

A

sprawled - more medially directed compressive forces so enlargement of ventral elements of the pectoral girdle

erect - more ventral forces so enlargements of dorsal elements of the pectoral girdle

63
Q

three types of foot postures

A

PLANTIGRADE - fully planted

DIGITIGRADE - partially planted

UNGULIGRADE - only tips of phalanges planted

64
Q

how do differences in foot posture affect speed and efficiency, whos faster?

who withstands shock better

A

FASTER - UNGULIGRADE bc of contribution of foot bones to length of leg therefore greater stride length

LESS SHOCK - plantigrade because greater surface area in contact with the ground

65
Q

pre/post zygapophyses - who and what?

A

TETRAPODS

help prevent twisting of the vertebral column

PRE is on anterior of the vertebrae, two projections that support the POST of the posterior vertebrae

PRE SUPPORTS POST

66
Q

_____ supports _____?? (zygapophyses)

A

pre supports post!!

67
Q

sternum - who has and who doesn’t??? composed of??

A

NO - agnatha, chondrichthyes, actinopterygii, sarcopterygii

YES - most tetrapods BUT evolved independantly in several diff. taxa

composed of cartilage and/or endochondral bone

68
Q

sternum adaptation for aves

A

large KEEL for attachment of flight muscles

69
Q

ribs - amphibians vs amniotes

A

amphibians - no articulation with sternum

amniotes - composed of COSTAL (vertebral) which articulates with the thoracic vertebrae and STERNAL (sternum) which articulate with the sternum to form rib cage
