Bone Legacy

Exoskeleton or dermal skeleton
Dermal bony armor of ostracoderms
 Bony scales in ancient fish


Cranial dermal armor arose from neural crest cells

Endoskeleton
Internal to skin
 Where once exoskeleton



Ex: clavicle, nasal, frontal, and parietal bone
Other endoskeletal elements were never part of
the dermal skeleton

Ex: scapula, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, brain case, and
extremity bones
Bone Evidence



All bone develops from mesenchyme
Neural crest cells
Membrane bone- arises from mesenchyme
without passing through cartilaginous
intermediate


exoskeleton
Replacement bone- arises from existing cartilage

endoskeleton
Endoskeletal Tissues

Visceral Skeleton

Jaw cartilages and ear ossicles



Weberian ossicles of fish (ear ossicles)
Derived from transverse processes of anterior most
vertebrae
Somatic Skeleton
Remaining internal bones developing from mesoderm
proper
 Somite and scleratome



Axial Skeleton
Appendicular Skeleton
Vertebrae Development
Arise from sclerotome cells of somites
Morphogenesis








Sclerotome divides into posterior and anterior halves
Halves join with segments of adjacent sclerotomes
Centrum formed from junction
Vertebrae are intersegmental
Myotome doesn’t move
Posterior segment forms costal process

Site of rib attachment
Vertebrae Development
Figure 9.1: (a) sclerotome divides (b) halves
join with adjacent halves of next sclerotome
(c) junction forms centrum.
