Cards

Term
"Osteo"
Definition
bone
Term
"Chondro"
Definition
cartilage
Term
"Fibro"
Definition
connective tissue
Term
"Blast"
Definition
immature and secretory
Term
"cyte"
Definition
mature and less secretory, produces and makes up bulk of extra cellular matrix
Term
Bone
Definition
-Product is mineralized
-Calcium storage organ: muscle contraction, hardens tissue, relatively inflexible but very strong
-Durable outside of body: fossils
Term
Cartilage
Definition
-Thin, flexible, diffusion, strong enough for working in water
Term
Cartilage and Bone
Definition
-Living tissue
-Can grow and remodel (change shape as necessary)
Term
Endochondral Bone
Definition
-Long Bones, deep, endoskeletal elements
-Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Epiphyseal plate
-First there is a cartilage template (smaller version of bone) that is replaced by bone. Chondroblasts are replaced by osteoblasts
-Long limbed animals
Term
Intramembranous Bone
Definition
-exoskeleton, dermal, superficial
-Formed from spontaneous condensation of mesenchyme cells
-3 types: Dermal, Sesamoid, Perichondral/periosteal
- Ostracoderms and Placoderms
Term
Dermal Intramembranous Bone
Definition
found in skull, pectoral girdle, and skin bones
Term
Sesamoid intramembranous bones
Definition
occur in areas of great stress, grow within tendons.
Ex: Patella
Term
Perichondral/periosteal intramembranous bone
Definition
forms just outside cartilage or just outside bone
Term
joint
Definition
-where bones/cartilage meet
-encapsulates two bones
-gives range of movement
Term
symphasis
Definition
cartilage found between pubic bones for birth, mandibles
Term
sutures
Definition
fibrous connections found in skull, allow for tiny movement
Term
Apendicular skeleton
Definition
limbs
Term
Axial skeleton
Definition
everything else besides limbs
Term
fin
Definition
membranous webbed projection strengthened by radiating thin rays
Term
ceratotricia
Definition
slender keratinized rods that radiate out like vanes in a fan to internally support the fins of chondrichthyan fishes
Term
Lepidotricha
Definition
cartilaginous or ossified supports within the fins of bony fishes
Term
Chiridium
Definition
-Limb
- muscular appendage with well defined joints bearing digits instead of a fin at its end
Term
Autopodium
Definition
-distal end of limb
-manus or pes
Term
Zeugopodium
Definition
Forearm (radius and ulna) or Shank (tibia and fibula)
Term
Stylopodium
Definition
-Proximal end
-articulates with girdle (acetabulum or glenoid fossa)
-Humerus or Femur
Term
metapterygial stem
Definition
a chain of endoskeletal basals
Term
pterygiophores
Definition
-Bones within a fish fin for support
Term
basals
Definition
enlarged pterygiophores within the proximal part of the fin
Term
radials
Definition
slender pterygiophores that extend support from the basals into the middle region of the fin
Term
metapterygial fin
Definition
-the metapterygial stem of basals is located in the postaxial region of the limb.
-asymetrical structure
-radials radiate anteriorly to preaxial region
Term
archipterygial fin
Definition
-Metapterygial stem runs down the middle of the fin.
-The radials project out from the central stem to support the preaxial and postaxial sides of the fin evenly.
-Appears leaf shaped and narrow at the base
Term
Gill Arch theory
Definition
-Paired fins and their girdles arose from gill arches
-Gill rays expand and proliferate forming a long central support for an external fin, not unlike the archipterygeal condition
-Found in some modern day lung fishes
-Doesn't explain: Pelvic Girdle, Dermal bone, or embryology
Term
Fin Fold Theory
Definition
-Paired fins arose within a paired but continuous set of ventrolateral folds in the body wall that were stiffened by a transverse series of endoskeletal pterygiophores.
-Additional stability comes from the inward extention of basals to produce girdles
-Dermal bone was later added to the pectoral girdle to strengthen further
Term
Evidence of Fin Fold Theory
Definition
1. Paleontological: Haikouycthys and Acanthodians
2. Developmentally: Sharks pectoral and pelvic fins develop at the same time
3. Molecular evidence: limb development in 3 groups of vertebrates. Engrailed-1 gene, T-box genes, sonic hedgehog gene
Term
Puboischiac and scapulocorocoid bars
Definition
U-shaped fusion of paired basal components of pelvic and pectoral girdles across the midline of chondrichthyans
Term
Enlarged pterygiophores of modern sharks at the base of the pectoral fin
Definition
metapterygium: most posterior, derived from series of basals
propterygium: anterior, derived from radials
mesopterygium: found only in forelimb, between prop and meta, gives mobility, radiating radials
