The Axial SkeletonEven craniates may have an exoskeleton and an endoskeleton
Which type is derived from dermis and epidermis?
Some bones have left their original place to “sink” and fuse with other bones.
We will identify units and discuss their origins…
Cranial and postcranial
Axial and appendicular

The Axial SkeletonVertebral column:
Basic anatomy consists of…
*Supporting body (centrum)
*Neural arch (along with ligaments forms vertebral canal)
*Processes (diapophyses, zygopophyses)

How can you tell one type of vertebrae from another?
What function determines each form?
The Axial Skeleton
The Axial SkeletonVertebral column morphogenesis:
Mesenchymal cells surround notochord and neural tube
Differentiate into chondroblasts
Osteoblasts later deposit bone matrix on cartilage scaffolding (see Chpt. 7)
The Axial SkeletonVertebral column of fish:
Much diversity in the fossil record
2 basic zones of differentiation…
Trunk (dorsals)
Tail (caudals)
Agnathans with lateral neural cartilages only
On other fishes there is an elastic ligament connecting neural spines
The Axial SkeletonDevelopment of tetrapod vertebrae:
Different styles of centra resulted from fusing of intervertebral discs (intercentra)
Amphicelous
Opisthocelous
Procelous
Acelous
Heterocelous
The Axial SkeletonCervical vertebrae:
C1 & C2
Odontoid process and transverse alantal ligament
Cervical vertebrae vary among species
Birds… heterocelous and long (25 in swans)
Most all mammals have 7 vertebrae, centra lengths differ…
The Axial SkeletonSacrum and synsacrum:
Modified by ankylosed ribs and transverse spines
Also often fused (ankylosed) with adjacent vertebrae
NOT with tetrapods that lack hindlimbs
1- “13”
Synsacrum of birds and armadillos
The Axial SkeletonRibs:
Ribs of tetrapods Homologous with dorsal ribs of some fish species
Often two articulating surfaces or heads (bicipital)… capitulum and tuberculum
Related to transverse foramina in humans…
2 parts… costal rib and sternal rib
How about anurans and urodelans?
The Axial SkeletonSternum:
Absent in many craniates
Largely a tetrapod structure however, crocodilians, turtles and urodelans lack a sternum.
In humans… 3 parts
Manubrium
Body
Xiphoid process
