Vertebrate processes found in tetrapods that function as points of articulation between vertebrae; and which, depending on their orientation, may allow side-to-side bending of the vertebral column while resisting vertical bending, or vice versa.

Vertebrae that have a centrum that is flat on both ends (as supposed to being concave on one or both ends)
Synsacrum
In birds, the posterior thoracic, all of the lumbar sacral, and the anterior caudal vertebrae are fused together forming a structure
Atlas
In reptiles, birds, and mammals the first two cervical vertebrae are highly modified in a way that increases the rage of movement of the head. The first is called the?
Holospondyly
Vertebrae in which the centra and neural spines (arches) are anatomically fused into a single bone
Urostyle
A long bone formed by the fusion of caudal vertebrae of anurans
Pelvic Girdle
In tetrapods, it is braced against the vertebral column at the sacrum
Has fewer individual bones and includes only a scapula and clavicle
Relative to early tetrapods and ancestral bony fish, the pectoral girdle of mammals _________
Were essentially present in the first tetrapods and in the non-tetrapod sarcopterygian ancestor from which they arose
The basic arrangement and number of skeletal elements making up the stylopodium and zeugopodium of modern tetrapods __________
Plantigrade Foot Posture
The ancestral foot posture in mammals and the foot posture that is retained in primates, rodents and most other mammals that do not show distinct adaptation for fast running
Epimysium
The connective tissue layer that surrounds an entire muscle and which is continuous with the tendon of that
Have a greater total cross sectional area of muscle fibers, and can generate greater force
Pinnate muscles, relative to parallel muscles of similar size, insertion and origin, ________
False
True or False: A long muscle will move the element it is inserted on at a slower speed than a shorter muscle
False
True or False: Somatic muscles are derived from the splanchnic layer of the lateral plate mesoderm (hypomere)
Paraxial Mesoderm
The somites (epimers) along the trunk and the somitomeres of the head are part of the _________
Branchiomeric Muscles
Muscles which were derived from somitomeres and are associated with the pharyngeal arches and their derivatives
- They develop from segmentally arranged myotomes (somites)
- They are divided by a horizontal septum into epaxial and hypaxial groups, although these groups may not be distinct in adults of some tetrapods"
What is correct concerning the axial muscles of the trunk and tail?
An adult frog or terrestrial salamander
Which vertebrates are most likely to exhibit seizure and inertial feeding?
Peritoneal Cavity
A subdivision of the coelom in mammals, birds, and some reptiles that contains most of the digestive organs but not the lungs
They are generally homodont
What is true concerning the teeth of fishes?
Terrestrial tetrapods
Large multicellular oral glands that produce mucous and other secretions are common in?
Crowns of teeth
Composed of an outer layer of enamel covering an inner layer or dentin
Thecodont
Teeth that are attached to the jaw by being set in a socket
Thecodont
What type of teeth do mammals have?
Bunodont
Maliform teeth with low rounded cusps
Herbivores
High crown teeth the surface of which is worn off to leave ridges of enamel surrounded by somewhat less hard dentin and cementum are typical of _________
Cats
Give an example of a mammal that will have carnassial teeth
2
"Rabbits have the following dental formula:
2-0-3-3
1-0-2-3
How many total incisors do they have in the lower jaw?"
Tetrapods
True tongues (muscular structures capable of being independently moved) are found only in _________
- Some amphibians have tongues attached at their anterior ends that flipped out to capture prey
- Woodpeckers have relatively long tongues that are supported and protruded by a hyoid apparatus that wraps around the back of a skull
- Vertebrates that use their tongues to capture food generally do not use their tongue to swallow and manipulate food after it is captured"
State 3 things that are true concerning the use of tongues in feeding
Ceca
Outpockets along the digestive tract
Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, serosa
Name the major levels of the gut wall from the inner-most to the outer-most layers
Visceral Peritoneum
The outermost layer of the serosa is the same as this
Crop
A cecum located off the esophagus
Birds
A crop is typical of what vertebrate?
Intestine
Most of the enzymatic digestion and absorption of nutrients occur in this part of most vertebrates
