Neurocranium

primary floors and walls of cranium, protects brain and sensory structures, all vertebrate have this (replacement bone)

Development of chondrocranium

-cartiliagionous neural cranium that is in the skull

Prechordal cartilage

traveculae cranii from underneath brain and anterior to the notochord


-form under forebrain region


-form nasal capsules in orbits


-form rostrum


-expands to become ethmoid plate

Parachordal cartilage

form beside and behind notochord


-forms floor of hindbrain


-expands to form the basal plate


-1-2 occipital condyles and foramen magnum

sense capsules

a floor of cranium forms so do sensory capsules


-olfactory capsules


-otic capsule for inner ear structures


-optic capsule (outer covering of eye, not attached)

Ethmoid plate and basal plate expansion

ethmoid plate unites with olfactory capsules basal plate unites with otic capsul


-foramina remain for blood vessels and nerves


-hypophyseal fenestra (in basal plate) remains for pituitary gland

Ossification centers

ethmoid plate, basal plate and sensory capsules ossify to make four ossification centers

Ossification center - occipital (back)


1. Foramen Magnum


2. Basioccipital


3. Exoccipital


4. Supraoccipital


5. Occipital Condyles

Ossification center -Otic Center (ears)

housing of the important ear structures that turn to bone

Ossification center -Sphenoid (floor of cranial cavity)


-Basisphenoid


-presphenoid/Sphenethmoid


Ossification Center - Ethmoid


1. Ethmoid plate


2. Olfactory capsules


3. turbinates inmammals

Dermatocranium

membrane bone (dermal bone) which evolved from dermal armor

Roofing bones


a. Nasal



b. Frontal



c. Parietal



d. Orbit


1. Lacrimal – means tears


2. Jugal =Infraorbital = Zygomatic



e. Squamosal

Upper and Lower Jaw

a. Premaxilla - upper


b. Maxilla - upper


c. Dentary – lower,largest


d. Splenial – lower,small, dorsomedial


e. Surangular –lower, lateral


f. Angular – lower,medial, becomes tympanic bulla


g. Coronoid – lower,medial


h. Prearticular –lower, medial and caudal – becomes anterior malleus in mammals

Primary palatal bones

roof of oral and gill regions - roof of oropharygngeal cavity in fish and amphibians, roof of nasal cavity in amniotes


-Vomer


-Palatine


-Pterygoid

Opercular bones

Dermatocranium

Splanchnocranium - visceral skeleton

supports and allows movement of jaws, gills, tongue, associated with hearing. Evolution is ancient. Replacement bone. Typically 6 gill slits supported by visceral arches

Visceral arch

gill in function and has five segments


a. Pharyngobranchial


b. Epibranchial


c. Ceratobranchial


d. Hypobranchial


e. +/- Basibranchial

Mandibular arch

Visceral Arch 1


a. Palatoquadrate


b. Mandibular =Meckel’s Cartilage

Hyoid arch


Visceral Arch II


a. Hyomandibula



b. Ceratohyal



c. Basihyal



E.Interrelationships – the neurocranium, dermatocranium and splanchnocranium eventually becomes intimately associated to form one single firm skull

Agnatha

Chondrocranium protect brain otic and nasal organs, visceral skeleton continuous and branchial in function, Dermal skeleton depending on group

Placoderms

cartiliaginous chondrocranium, jaws form first visceral arch in splanchnocranium with autostylic suspension, dermal armor

Chondrichtheyes

-Chondrocranium is calcified, has 2 occipital condyles and foramen magnum, otic and nasal capsule are fused to the neurocranium


-no dermal bones


-Splanchnocranium is mandibular arch and hyoid arch



Condrichthyes jaw suspension

*amphistylic - a lot of movement, primitive sharks


*hyostylic - a little movement, most sharks, hyomandibula hangs from otic capsules


*autostylic - chimeras, no movement

Bony Fish Neurocranim


incomplete above brain


-Chondrostean - cartilaginous in most


Holosteans - cartilaginous


Teleosts have a large # of bones, ossification centers of walls/floor are ethmoid, sphenoid, otic and one occipital condyle


-Dipnoans - cartilaginous


Bony Fish Dermatocranium

complete joins to pectoral girdle, supports teeth (maxilla, premaxilla), moveable bony operculum

Bony Fish Splanchnocranium

Bone replacement except in dipnoans


-quadrate replaces palatoquadrate


-articular


-Hyomandibular Arch II is not branchial in function


-jaw suspension: Hyostylic in ray finned fish, amphistylic in crossopterygians, autostylic in Dipnoans

Amphibian Neurocranium and Dermatocranium

Neurocranium is incomplete dorsally with more cartilage than bony fish, not joined to the pectoral girdle, 2 occipital condyles

Amphibian Splanchnocranium

larval stages have fish like gills


-quadrate upper jaw is autostylic


-epipterygoid absent


-articular is lower jaw, Meckel's cartilage is homologous to articular bone


-Columella (stapes) - hyomandibula is not needed since autostylic suspension


-Hyoid apparatus - Arches II, III and IV are not needed and become hyoid apparatus


-Larynx - Arch V becomes the larynx


-Arch VI, VII are absent

Reptile Neurocranium

decreased # of bones, 1 occipital condyle and well ossified

Reptile Dermatocranium

full complement with some reduction in roof bones

Reptile Dermatocranium temporal region

*

Temporal fossa or fenestra

infratemporal arch is below the ventral fossa


zygomatic arch = infratemporal arch in upper classes


Supratemporal arch is below the dorsal fossa

Anapsid

Turtle, stem reptiles


-no arch on the side of the skull

Synapsid

mammal like reptile


-infratemporal arch only


-ventral fossa only

Diapsids

Lizards and crocs have modifications


-infratemporal and supratemporal arches present

Euryapsids

Extinct reptiles such as Pleisosaurs and Ichthyosaurs with one dorsal fossa


-only dorsal fossa and supratemporal arch

Rotary chewing

fossas and arches provide room for huge chewing muscles to allow for rotary chewing

secondary palate

separation between nasal and oral passages allows for breathing and chewing at the same time


-Palatine process of maxilla


-palatine bones shift down and become part of secondary palate
