Term
What are the myotomes?
Definition
They are the muscle segments.
Term
What are the mysepta?
Definition
They form the connective tissue around muscles.
Term
What's the function of the transverse septum?
Definition
It separates the body trunk into the epaxial and hypaxial muscles.
Term
How do you differentiate between the epaxial and hypaxial muscles?
Definition
The epaxial muscles are on the dorsal side of the shark, whereas the hypaxials are on the ventral side.
Term
What's the function of the lateral longitudinal bundles?
Definition
They aid in side to side movement of the shark.
Term
What's the function of the ventral longitudinal bundles?
Definition
They aid in side to side movement of the shark.
Term
What's the function of the linea alba?
Definition
It separates the left and right halves of the hypaxial muscles.
Term
What's the function of the rectus abdominis?
Definition
They aid in movement of the shark.
Term
What's the difference and functions of the dorsal and ventral median septum?
Definition
Both divide the epaxial and hypaxial muscles, but the dorsal median septum is on the dorsal side of the shark and the ventral median septum is on the ventral side.
Term
What's the function of the dorsal constrictors?
Definition
They eject water from the gills and compress the gill slits.
Term
What are the functions of the dorsal constrictors?
Definition
They eject water from the gills and compress the gill slits.
Term
What are the functions of the ventral constrictors?
Definition
They eject water from the gills, close the gill slits, and assist in opening the mouth.
Term
What's the function of the septal constrictors?
Definition
They compress the gill slits.
Term
What's the function of the adductor mandibularis?
Definition
It closes the jaws.
Term
What are the functions of the preorbitalis?
Definition
It expands the oral cavity and assists in opening the jaws.
Term
What's the function of the spiracular?
Definition
It elevates the palatoquadrate cartilage.
Term
What's the function of the intermandibularis?
Definition
It elevates the floor of the mouth.
Term
What's the function of the dorsal hyoid constrictor (epihyoideus)?
Definition
It compresses the gill pouches.
Term
What's the function of the interhyoideus?
Definition
It compresses the gill pouches
Term
What's the function of the palatoquadrate levator?
Definition
It supports and raises the upper jaw.
Term
What's the function of the hyomandibular?
Definition
It acts to raise the jaw.
Term
What's the function of the cucullaris?
Definition
It elevates the gill arches and pectoral girdle.
Term
What are the functions of the common coracoarcuals?
Definition
They open the mouth, aid in swallowing, and expand the gill pouches.
Term
What are the functions of the coracomandibular?
Definition
They open the mouth, aid in swallowing, and expand the gill pouches.
Term
What are the functions of the coracohyoidean?
Definition
They open the mouth, aid in swallowing, and expand the gill pouches.
Term
What are the functions of the coracobranchials?
Definition
They open the mouth, aid in swallowing, and expand the gill pouches.
Term
What is the function of the pectoral levator?
Definition
It elevates the pectoral fin.
Term
What is the function of the pectoral depressor?
Definition
It depresses the pectoral fin.
Term
What is the pelvic levator?
Definition
It elevates the pelvic fin.
Term
What is the function of the pelvic depressor?
Definition
It depresses the pelvic fin.
Term
What is the function of the pelvic adductor?
Definition
It adducts the pelvic fin, or draws it closer to the midline.
