Q

describe the hinge and pivot method

A

the 2 occipital condyles connect with the atlas like a hinge the the axis connects to the Altas to make a pivot joint allowing rotation

Q

explain how the bird vertebrae are modified to form the synacrum and why

A

the sacral vertebrae is fused with others to form a rigid but light veterbral column (other than neck) for powered flight

Q

why is the keel of the bird important

A

it allows a large surface area for the muscles of the power stroke to attach to

25
what is the triosseal foramen and the function?
runs the tendon of muscle, which attaches to the sternum and the dorsal side of the humerus, and lifts the wing upwards in flight.
26
what is the furcula and the function
above the sternum, strengthening of the thoracic skeleton to withstand the rigors of flight.
27
how many digits are on the forelimb of the bird and how are the modified?
3 - no digits protect the wingspan
28
how many digits are on the forelimb of the archaeopteryx and how are the modified?
3- all the digits are elongated
29
how many digits are on the forelimb of the pterosaur and how are the modified?
4 - supports the outline of the wing
30
how many digits are on the forelimb of the bat and how are the modified?
5 2-5 support the wing
31
what provides the wing surface on birds and how is this supported by the digits?
feathers off the forelimb bones
32
what provides the wing surface on archaeopteryx and how is this supported by the digits?
the cheiropatgium comes off 2,3 digits and the forearm
33
what provides the wing surface on pterosaur and how is this supported by the digits?
the cheiropatgium comes of digit 4
34
what provides the wing surface on bat and how is this supported by the digits?
the cheiropatigium is supported by digits 2-5
35
how are the limbs of the bird modified for non flight locomotion?
walks
36
how are the limbs of the archaeopteryx modified for non flight locomotion?
walking with legs
37
how are the limbs of the pterosaur modified for non flight locomotion?
digits 1-3 are used for walking along legs
38
how are the limbs of the bat modified for non flight locomotion?
they crawl
39
how do birds use their tails? how is it adapted for that purpose?
aerodynamics
40
how do archaeopteryx use their tails? how is it adapted for that purpose?
balance when walking
41
how do pterosaur use their tails? how is it adapted for that purpose?
nothing
42
how do bats use their tails? how is it adapted for that purpose?
connected to the cruropatgium for flight dynamics
43
what type of teeth do birds have?
edentate
44
what type of teeth do archaeopteryx have?
homodont teeth
45
what type of teeth do pterosaur have?
homodont teeth with a long snout
46
what type of teeth do bats have?
specialized teeth for wide range diet
47
how is keratin created?
by the dead cells and keratin left on outermost layer of the epidermis called "stratum corneum" this process is called cornification
48
name one or more ways that lepidosaurs use keratin
claws and scales
49
compare the prepped skin with the naturally shed skin
prepped was shiny, hydrated leathery? natural is rough
50
how can the lepidosaurs be flexible and tough as the same time
the scales itself are hard and tough but there thin flexible region called hinges
51
name at least 3 structures of the turtle that is made of keratin
beak, claw, scales & shell (plastron and carapace)
52
what is the plastron and the carapace
plastron is the bottom (ventral) and carapace is the top (dorsal)
53
explain the difference between pennaceous and plumulaceous feathers
pennaceous- flight dynamics (long) plumulacepus - warmth (short and fuzzy)
54
describe the 3 examples of modified Bird feet
webbed- moist places and swimming cactus looking feet (American coot)- dry gravely area fuzzy (willow ptarmigan) - cold
55
name at least 3 structures of mammals that are made of keratin
- nails/hooves/claws - horns - hair/fur - beaver tail - quils
56
how are nails, claws and hooves similar?
nails are flatten claws and hooves are fused claws
57
what is the function of fur?
lentgh or thickness is for warmth colour is for sexual selection
58
what is the difference between a horn and an antler
antlers shed and regrow horns don't shed and grow forever
