what defines chimaeriforms
Definition

they have a weird head

naked skin

no spiracle

flattened grinding teeth

claspers

Term

Definition
bony fish
Term
Chondrichthyes
Definition
cartilaginous fish
Term
Main differences between Osteichthyse and Chondrichthyes
Definition

Osteichthyes have a true ossified internal skeleton where the Chondrichthyes have cartilage

 

They have a swim bladder or lung that help them with boyancy while the C's do not they depend on their liver mostly for boyancy

 

O's have an operculum that cover their gill slits where the C's do not

 

The O's have bony scales including; ganoid, cycloid,ctenoid and cosmoid...C's have placoid scales.

Term

Term

Definition
ratfishes
Term
Ecdysis cycle
Definition

1) Intermolt condition

2) old procuticle seperates from the epidermis, which secretes epicuticle

3) new exocuticle is secreted molting fluid dissolves old endocuticle and solution products are reabsorbed

4) the old epicuticle and exocuticle are discarded

5) new cuticle is stretched unfolded and endocuticle is secreted.
