Lectures After Test 1 Flashcards
components of shark skull
brain case and palatoquadrate cartilage
shark skull - occipital region
posterior; surrounds foramen magnum and includes occipital condyles
shark skull orbital region
otic capsules, orbital, sphenoidal
brain case containing nasal capsules
ethmoid region
brain case ventral articulation
with palatoquadrate
3 parts of basic bony vert skull
one element dermal, 2 elements dermal/endochondral combination
skull roof
dorsal cover of skull, nearly solid with openings for mouth/eyes/pineal, primitively nitched posteriorly, paired bones
5 groups of skull roof bones
tooth bearing marginal, midian, circumorbital, temporal, cheek
bones of tooth bearing marginal series
premaxillary, maxillary
bones of median series
nasal, frontal, parietal
bones of circumorbital series
jugular, lacrimal, prefrontal, postorbital, postfrontal
bones of temporal series
tabular, supratemporal, intertemporal
bones of cheek series
squamosal, quadratojugal
composition of bones of palatal complex
in roof of oral cavity; paired, mostly dermal, some visceral endochondral
early tetrapod dermal palatal bones
pterygoid, vomer, palatine, ectopterygoid
early tetrapod visceral endochondral palatal bones
palatoquadrate, quadrate, epipterygoid
early tetrapod lower jaw articulation
palatal complex with lower jaw via quadrate, basal brain case articulation between basisphenoid and epipterygoid
composition of bones of early tetrapod brain case
not all paired, mostly somatic endochondral, one dermal
dermal bone of early tetrapod brain case
parasphenoid; forms in skin on roof of oral cavity, ventral brain case
4 bones surrounding foramen magnum
supraoccipital, basioccipital, paired occipitals
2 paired bones associated with otic capsules - inner ear
opisthotic, prootic
basisphenoid
median, ventral, anterior to otic region, covered ventrally by parasphenoid, basal articulation with palatal complex via basipteygoid
sphenethmoid
median ossification of sphenoid/ethmoid regions, trough shaped, contains olfactory nerves
progression of skull types
early tetrapod, basal reptile, early synapsid, non mammalian therapsid, mammalian
