概括
吃更强硬的食物的灵长类动物往往有更向前的斜骨根,这表明这种面特征可以表明饮食专业化. 然而,它仍然是.
科学领域:
- 灵长类动物的解剖学
- 古人类学古人类学.
- 功能形态学 功能形态学
背景情况:
- 斜腿根是头骨面部的一个关键特征,假设在食期间加强面部.
- 它的位置被认为表明化石物种的饮食专业化,但它在活着的灵长类动物中的变异性和与饮食的联系是未知的.
研究的目的:
- 在活着的哈普洛林灵长类灵长类动物中研究牙根位置和饮食之间的关系.
- 为了确定食用机械上具有挑战性的食物的灵长类动物是否具有更前置的斜骨根.
主要方法:
- 从33个哈普洛林物种 (n=722) 的数字和实物标本上测量了牙根位置 (使用牙地标).
- 根据已发表的数据,根据饮食分类物种,重点是吃硬,硬或软食物.
- 使用了对对比和遗传学概括最小平方 (PGLS) 分析.
主要成果:
- 在20个饮食组之间的对对比比较中,在17个饮食组 (p < 0.05) 中发现了对根位置的显著差异.
- 十一项比较支持了这样一个假设,即更具机械挑战性的饮食与更前面的斜腿根相关.
- 生殖学并没有显著地影响牙根的位置.
结论:
- 一个前置的斜骨根可以成为一些灵长类动物的饮食专业化的有用指标.
- 然而,它不是消耗机械挑战性饮食的强制性特征,因为其他面和行为适应也可以促进这一点.

The Hyoid Bone
2.1K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Muscles for Facial Expressions
2.1K
The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

Overview of the Skull
4.6K
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...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
2.3K
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...

Oral Cavity

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Muscles of the Anterior Neck
1.8K
The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...
