1
Appendicular Skeleton - Limbs Origin of limbs Crawling Superorder Crossopterygii Subclass Labyrinthodontia
2
Transition to land (lobe fins)
4
Function and Trends Locomotion Support Functional diversification distally Decreased number of bones
9
Limb Structure Propodium – Humerus – pectoral appendage – Femur – pelvic appendage Epipodium – Radius & Ulna – pectoral appendage – Tibia & Fibula – pelvic appendage
13
Limb Structure Mesopodium – Carpals in pectoral appendage – Tarsals in pelvic appendage Metapodium – Metacarpals in pectoral appendage – Metatarsal in pelvic appendage Phalanges – Bones of the digits (fingers, toes, claws….)
16
Limbs Manus is forefoot or hand. It includes mesopodium, metapodium, phalanges Pes is hindfoot or foot. It includes mesopodium, metapodium, phalanges Epiphysis and Diaphysis are the Ends and Shaft of a long bone
18
Limbs - amphibians Bone marrow cavity makes blood in tetrapods
19
Limbs - Reptiles Stronger
20
Limbs in Bird Digit 2 is long digit of wing Phalangeal formula for foot is 2,3,4,5,0
23
Limbs - mammals Phalangeal formula of 2,3,3,3,3 on human hands and feet Very prominent olecranon process
26
Key Points The axial/appendicular (choose one) skeleton is more important for movement in fish. The axial/appendicular (choose one) skeleton is more important for movement in tetrapods.
27
Dermal or Replacement? Scapula Operculum Vertebrae Nasal Clavicle Rib Squamosal Femur Dentary Articular Stapes Posttemporal Splenial Radius
