2 components define the long axis of the body.
|
- notochord
- vertebral column |
|
long rod of fibrous connective tissue surrounding a fluid core (most ancient of the 2 structures).
|
notochord
|
|
consists of discrete, repeating sires of cartilaginous or bony elements
|
vertebral column
|
|
4 components of axial skeleton
|
skull
vertebral column ribs sternum |
|
Originally, the dorsal and ventral arches rested on the notochord which included the:
|
neural arch
hemal arch |
|
dorsal arch that protects the nerve cord
|
neural arch
|
|
ventral arch that protects the blood vessels
|
hemal arch
|
|
intercalary arches between adjacent vertebrae segments
|
interneural arch
interhemal arch |
|
the interneural and interhemal arches are also known as
|
intercalary arches
|
|
There are 2 centra (bodies) of the vertebrae
|
intercentrum
pleurocentrum |
|
(hypocentrum)- the intercalary portion of the centrum
|
intercentrum
|
|
bulk of the central body
|
pleurocentrum
|
|
4 Regions of the vertebral column
|
cervical
thoracic lumbar sacral |
|
neck region
|
crevical vertebrae
|
|
chest region
|
thoracic vertebrae
|
|
between chest and hips
|
lumbar vertebrae
|
|
the hip region and posterior
|
sacral vertebrae
|
|
The terminology to describe the relationship between centra and arches
|
aspidospondyly
holospondyly |
|
all elements are seperate
(example) |
aspidospondyly
(eg., rhachitomous vertebra) |
|
all elements fused together into a single unit
(example) |
holospondyly
(eg., lepospondylous vertebrae) |
|
The junction between vertebrae dictate the _ and _ that can occur without damaging the nerve cord
|
amount , type of movement
|
|
centra with 2 flat ends
|
acoelous
|
|
amphicoelous
example |
each surface is concave
dolphin |
|
procoelous
example |
concave anteriorly, convex posteriorly.
frog |
|
opisthocoelous
example |
concave posteriorly, convex anteriorly.
lizzard |
|
heterocoelous
example |
saddle shaped surfaces at both ends
bird |
|
5 Different types of vertebral junctions:
|
acoelous
amphicoelous procoelous opisthocoelous heterocoelous |
|
An _ is a pad of fibrocartilage with a gel-like core
|
intervertebral disk
|
|
Sites on the vertebrae which form articular surfaces for arches and ribs are called
|
apophyses
|
|
3 apophyses
|
diapophyses
parapophyses zygapophyses |
|
process on the neural arch
|
diapophyses
|
|
ventral process on the intercentrum
|
parapophyses
|
|
interlocking processes between successive vertebrae and prevent twisting
|
zygapophyses
|
|
Two types of zygapophyses
|
prezygapophysis
postzygapophysis |
|
anterior interlocking portion
|
prezygapophysis
|
|
posterior interlocking portion
|
postzygapophysis
|
|
3 functions of ribs:
|
- provide sites for muscle attachment
- form a protective case (rib cage) around the viscera - serve as accessory breathing devices |
|
4 types of ribs:
|
Bicipital
True Ribs False Ribs Floating Ribs |
|
found in primitive tetrapods, ribs had 2 articular heads
|
Bicipital
|
|
meet ventrally with the sternum
|
True Ribs
|
|
fuse with one another, but not the sternum
|
False Ribs
|
|
articulate with no ventral structure
|
Floating Ribs
|
|
2 types of bicipital ribs
|
capitulum
tuberculum |
|
2 types of true ribs
|
costal rib
sternal rib |
|
ventral rib head attaches to parapophysis
|
capitulum
|
|
dorsal rib head
|
tuberculum
|
|
proximal segment that articulates with the vertebrae
|
costal rib
|
|
distal segment articulates with the sternum
|
sternal rib
|
|
The vertebrae develop from the _ (somite derived) mesenchyme
|
scleratome
|
|
These cells first migrate ventromedially and form _ around the notochord
|
perichordal rings
|
|
Collectively, the perichordal rings together form the _
|
perichordal tube
|
|
Regions of the perichordal tube now grow dorsally and cover the neural tube, forming the future _
|
neural arches
|
|
A single vertebra is composed of opposing halves of adjacent scleratomes. Thus, these 2 neighboring halves, once joined together are called _ and comprise the future vertebra
|
secondary scleratomes
|
|
3 parts of sternum
|
sternebrae
manubrium xiphisternum |
|
chain of ossified elements
|
sternebrae
|
|
first of the series
|
manubrium
|
|
last in the series (_ cartilage)
|
xiphisternum (xiphoid)
|
