Question
Chapter 30, Problem 15TYK
Summary Introduction
To explain: The statement “Vertebrate skeletons are variations on a theme” with examples.
Introduction: Vertebral skeleton comprises the skull, backbone, and a rib cage, which, collectively, is known as the axial skeleton, and the bones of the appendages are known as the appendicular skeleton.

- Suppose archaeologists discover human skeletal remains in Ethiopia. Examination of the bones suggests that the remains represent four individuals. Two of the skeletons have a broad pubic bone and a pelvis with a wide pubic arch. Within the two groups defined by pelvic differences, smaller skeletons have bones with evidence of epiphyseal plates, but larger bones have only a thin line where the epiphyseal plates should be. Give the age group and sex of the four individuals in the find.arrow_forward“Form reflects function” is a statement that applies to the skeletal system. What evidence can you provide from your lab work that differences in the skeletons of a frog and human are related to locomotor function? In a bat compared to a human? Provide at least two pieces of evidence for each comparison.arrow_forwardCompare the bat to the bird. Where is the bat's ulna? Are there any remnants of it? How is the bat's wing membrane supported by its skeleton? Be precise. Does a bird's wing work in the same way? How many metacarpals and digits ("fingers") does it have? (This is all just one question on comparing the bat to the bird)arrow_forward

How do they do this? a. Their bones are filled with water, which provides the weight of the skeleton. b. The change in body structure is caused by contraction of muscles compressing the watery body fluid. c. The muscles contain water vacuoles, which, when filled, provide a rigid internal structure. d. The term hydrostatic simply refers to moist environment. They generate movement just as arthropods do.arrow_forward
