Q

Key differences between mammals and reptiles

A

-suckling of young with milk produced by modified skin glands called mammary glands
-evolution of a secondary palate, muscular tongue and heterodont dentition which permit mechanical breakdown of food in mouth
-shift in position of the jaw articulation from the Quadrate and articular to the dentary and squamosal and transformation of the quardrate and articular into ossicles of middle ear
-circulatory, respiratory, excretory, digestive and nervous systems have all been modified to support a higher metabolic rate

24
Q

The hole which the ear drum fits over

The dense ring of bone surrounding this is called and is homologous to

A

External auditory meatus

Tympanic portion of the temporal

Angular, dermal bone

25
The auditory ossicles are…. Where are they housed
Malleus, incus and stapes Within the bulla
26
What is the only bones in the mammalian jaw? What is the name of the part that bears teeth
Dentary Body
27
The masseter Function
Side to side grinding movements of the jaws and teeth
28
Herbivores vs carnivores jaw structure
Herb: Chee by sliding the lower tooth rows over the upper tooth rows due to large masseter and smaller temporalis. Coronoid process is small or absent. Jaw joint alive teeth rows which increase leverage of the masseter muscle causing the lower teeth to approach the upper teeth perpendicularly rather than at an angle like carnivores. Carn: bite with a chopping motion where the upper and lower tooth rows come together without lauding past each other. Due to a large tenporalis muscle and coronoid process and small masseter. Jaw joint on same line as tooth rows
29
What muscle helps close the jaw in a scissor like snap
Temporalis
30
Teeth of mammals
-deeply rooted (thecodont) -different sizes and shapes (heterodont) -replacement is limited -3 incisors for nipping on each side of upper jaw -1 canine attached to maxilla for piercing -3 premolars for cutting and shearing attached to maxilla -1 very small molar for grinding on maxilla Lower jaw has 3 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars and one large molar
31
Dental formula of mammals
3.1.3.1 3.1.2.1
32
The last premolar of the upper jaw and the molar of the lower jaw are called the ____
Carnassial teeth Create shearing force to cut meat from the bone Found only in Carnivores
33
The vertebral types of mammals are the same as the pigeon, but there is no _____
Synsacrum
34
During the transition from reptiles to mammals, zygopophyses between the atlas and axis were ___—
Lost Allowing rotational movement of the head to occur
35
How many ribs are in the cat
13 ribs (costae) on each side of the body The first nine, the true ribs are joined at the sternum by costal cartilages The teaming 4 are false ribs The costal cartilages of the 10, 11 and 12 ribs join that of the 9th and thereby become attached to the sternum. The thirteenth is a floating rib since it’s costal cartilage does not reach the sternum
36
The sternum consists of a row of _____ bones or ______ and is divided into ___ parts:
8 Sternebrae 3 Manubrium - first sternebra Body - 2-7 sternebra Xiphoid process - 8th sternebrae and attached to the xiphoid cartilage
37
Skeleton of the forelimb consists of what parts

Articulates with the glenoid fossa and scapula -shaft: long body of the Humerus -captiulum: rounded eminence forms the lateral parts of the distal articular surface and articulates with the ulna -trochlea: spool-shaped medial part of the distal articular surface. Articulates with the ulna -olecranon fossa: depression above the trochlea on the posterior surface. Receives a projection of the ulna when the forelimb is straightened
39
Where is the radius and what are the parts of the radius
Located on the lateral side of forearm -Head: disc -Neck:below head -Shaft:body of radius -styloid process: wedge-shaped projection extending from the medial side of radius

43
The pelvic girdle is made up of 2 ________
Os coxae (innominate bones) Each os coxa consists of 3 bony parts: ilium, ischium and pubis that fuse during development at the acetabulum
44
Skeleton of hind limb parts

45
Parts of the femur
-Head: articulates at the acetabulum with the inominate bone -Greater Trochanter -Shaft: displays on its ventral surface a rough line called the lines aspera -lateral and medial condyles -intercondyloid fossa

48
The tarsus consists of _____ tarsal horns comprising the _____ joint 2 important tarsal bones:
7 Ankle joint Calcaneus: forms heel bone Talus: articulates with the tibia
49
The metatarsus consists of ____ metatarsal bones, the _____ of which is rudimentary. How many phalanges on each digit
5 First 3 since first digit is lost on hind foot so the digits are numbered 2-5
50
What is the foot posture horses have of walking on the tip of their toe
Unguligrade
51
Digitigrade
Foot posture with reduced first digit and then compressed remaining toes together Allows for speed
52
What type of foot posture do humans have
Plantigrade- entire foot is flat on the ground and sometimes more digits than in the other groups
53
Some of the hypaxial muscles in the cat are thin, antagonistic sheets in the thoracic and abdominal walls that support the body wall and function in….
Breathing movements to ventilate the lungs such as the diaphragm Moves the volume of the chest cavity and thereby move air in and out of the lungs
54
The adductor Mandibular of primitive tetrapods has divided into what in mammals
Temporalis Masseter Muscles
55
Cutaneous muscles
Cutaneous Maximus: covers almost whole side of the body Platysma: covers sides of the neck and face These muscles allow cats to twitch and shake their skin separately from the body wall. Helps get rid of pests on fur
56
Back muscles of cats
-erector spinae -multifidus spinae Both help extend the vertebral column during movements like running
57
Abdominal muscles of cats Where do these muscle tendons meet
-external oblique -internal oblique -transversus abdonimis -rectus abdominis Mid ventral line called linea alba
