背景:
- の脊椎動物 (gnathostomes) の進化は,通常は,解剖学的革新によって駆動された草食動物から捕食動物への移行と見なされます.
- グナトストームの姉妹群であるオステオストラカンは,ランプレイのような内部解剖学を有しており,その密接な遺伝子関係にもかかわらず,形態学的ギャップを示唆しています.
研究 の 目的:
- オステオストラカン Norselaspis glacialisの内部の解剖を 研究するために 先進的なイメージング技術を使用します
- ノルセラスピスの誘発性グナトストームの特徴を特定し,脊椎動物の進化のタイムラインを再評価する.
主な方法:
- シンクロトロンベースのX線マイクロトモグラフィーは,Norselaspis glacialisの内部形態を分析するために使用されました.
- 内耳,心血管系,神経系を含む内部の解剖学的特徴の詳細な再構築.
主要な成果:
- ノルセラスピス・グラシアリスは,の起源より前の内耳 (拡大した下部と上部シヌス) の感覚の詳細を示している.
- コロナ・グナトストームに似た,ペアリングされた静脈排水を持つ高容量の心臓管が特定された.

01:30Neurulation
42.6K
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
7.6K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

01:28Articulations of the Vertebral Column
2.2K
In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
2.8K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
2.6K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:08Overview of the Skull
5.3K
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...
