Q

5 Steps of Intramembranous Ossification:

A
  1. mesenchyme cells become osteoblasts
  2. produce uncalcified osteoid tissue (collagen & ground substance)
  3. ECM calcifies & forms trabeculae
  4. trabeculae form latticework (spongy bone)
  5. compact bone deposited on periphery

25
How does appositional growth occur?
- add bone to periosteum side with osteoblasts and absorb bone on medullary cavity with osteoclasts 1. bone deposited with osteoblasts (add outside) 2. older bone reabsorbed by osteoclasts (take away inside)
26
How often is bone replaced?
- spongy bone replaced 3-4 years - compact every 10 years - gradually not all at once
27
What cells do replacement and remodeling of bone?
osteoclasts break down old bone and osteoblasts add new bone
28
What are Branchial Arches?
pharangyeal gill slits are surrounding by branchial arches - precursor of the jaw is the first branchial arch
29
Do lampreys have a jaw?
No - use a rasping movement
30
What is the branchial arch modification of condricthes (sharks)?
1. first arch - jaw (upper jaw:palatoquadrate - lower jaw:mandible/Meckel's cartilage) 2. second arch - hyomandible (what jaw swings on)
31
Actinopterygii (bony fish) branchial arch modification:
1. upper - quadrate lower - madibular bone with articular 2. hyoid - hyoidean gill ray
32
Amphibians branchial arch modification:
upper- quadrate lower- articular hyoid- stapes
33
Reptilia & Aves branchial arch modification:
upper- quadrate lower - articular hyoid - stapes
34
Mammalia branchial arch modification:
upper - malleus (hammer) lower - incus (anvil) hyoid - stapes (stirrup)
35
What parts do other branchial arches become in Mammalia?
hyoid & parts - thyroid cartilage - laryngeal cartilage
36
Evolution of branchial arch parts:
1. Meckel's cartilage -> articular -> malleus 2. Palatoquadrate -> quadrate -> incus 3. Hyomandibula -> stapes -> stapes
37
Reptiles vs. Mammals summary of branchial arch evolution:
Reptiles - many bones in jaws - 1 bone in ear (stapes) Mammals - 1 bone in jaw - 3 bones in ear
38
What kind of jaw joint did early mammals have?
diarthrognathus - 2 jaw joints
39
What kind of jaw do juvenile opossums have?
opossums have a reptilian jaw - suckle with articular-quadrate articulation (but can't hear) the dental-squamosal joint develops later
40
Describe the action of shark jaws
weak bite for size - upper jaw in not articulated onto skull so it swings out - suspended jaw not attached to skull - torpedo shape has better hydrodynamics - eat without rostrum bumping food away
41
How can snakes eat such big prey?
snake skulls extremely kinetic - do not disarticulate jaw - double hinged each side of head moves independent of each other (move one side at a time like walking down prey)
42
Do mammals or birds have a kinetic skull?
birds have a kinetic skull
43
Kinetic skull defintion
able to have intracranial movements besides that at jaw (snakes, birds)
44
What are advantages of an akinetic skull?
1. strong skull 2. efficient mastication (no jaw wobbling)
45
What animals have a secondary palate?
alligators/cros & mammals
46
What are the advantages of a secondary palate?
1. babies able to breastfeed 2. chew food & suffocate it underwater (eat and breath at same time)
47
What does the primary palate do?
above nasal cavity & orbital cavity
48
What does the secondary palate do?
separates food, swallowing, and chewing from breathing
49
What are the driving factors of axial skeleton evolution?
1. environment (aquatic/terrestrial) 2. type of locomotion (bipedalism)
50
Condricthes axial skeleton evolution:
notochord persists with vertebral body (centrum) into adulthood
51
Actinopterygiians (bony fish) axial skeleton evolution:
- extant primitive fish - notochord - other bony/derived fish - no notochord but have ossified vertebrae with prominent centrum
52
Types of fish with notochord
sturgeon
53
What do derived fish have that primitive fish do no?
ossified vertebrae with prominent centrum
54
What is special about catfish vertebrae?
have barrel-shaped rings like a tree that can date the fish
55
What does amphicoelus mean and what kind of animal has it?
fish - literally means 2 cavities - the disc doesn't just sit in b/w vertebrae but slides into the vertebral foramen
56
Status of pre/post-zygapophyses in fish?
Weak or absent - fish live in water and there is no need for extra support
57
What are zygapophyses?
articulation points that hold axial skeleton together - keep in alignment
58
Are amphibians amphicoelus?
No they are not they have solid bone with discs in between
59
What is the nucleus pulposus?
the small core found with intervertebral discs where the notochord has left (no notochord in adult)
60
How many cervical vertebrae do amphibians have?
one - the atlas
61
What 3 groups of animals are classified in amniota?
reptiles, birds, mammals
62
What are 3 key aspects of the reptile axial skeleton?
1. 6+ cervical vertebra with small ribs 2. stronger sacrum with 2 sacral vertebrae 3. prominent thoracolumbar ribs
63
2 functions of thoracolumbar ribs:
reptiles 1. support body wall 2. facilitate thoracic breathing
64
What is the specialization in snake vertebra?
1. prominent zygapophyses 2. zygosphene (anterior) articulate with zygantrum (posterior) 3. prevent vertebral torsion during locomotion
65
4 modifications of birds axial skeleton:
1. reduction & fusion of caudal vertebrae 2. add a sternum keel (muscle attachment) 3. add unicate process (reinforces one rib to another - keeps ribs in place during flight) 4. form synsacrum (rigid structure lightweight yet strong)
66
Identify green, orange, blue dots, and red region
Bird: green - ilium orange - ischium blue - pubis red - synsacrum
67
Mammal regions from head to tail (5):
cervical -> thorax -> lumbar -> sacral -> caudal
68
What direction is dorso-ventral flexion?
up and down (increases running speed)
69
C1
- supports the skull - articulates with occipital condyles - allows "yes" movement
70
C2
- weakly articulates with atlas - skull & atlas move together and rotate on axis for "no" motion
71
What stops hyperextension of the neck?
the odontoid process of the dens and transverse ligament of C1
72
What direction stresses the odontoid process and what direction stresses the transverse ligament?
odontoid process - tilting head back transverse ligament - chin to chest
73
How many cervical vertebrae do most mammals have?
7
74
What are the exceptions to the normal number of cervical vertebrae in mammals?
sloth & manatee
75
What are the 4 shift s in the pelvis of Homo sapiens?
1. upper pelvis shift 2. lumbar shift 3. dorsal sacrum shift (at birth) 4. short, broad pelvis
76
What is beneficial for shortening of the pelvis?
lower center of gravity for walking upright (humans only bipedal)
77
Human gender differences in the pelvis?
1. pubic arch (men = 90/ women = >100) 2. height (men=taller) 3. narrower from anterior superior ischial spine and ischial spine - (men=narrower) 4. coccyx (men=closer into pelvis; women=farther out from pelvis_
