- In coastal engineering, a tetrapod is a four-legged concrete structure used as armour unit on breakwaters.
- A tetrapod's shape is designed to dissipate the force of incoming waves by allowing water to flow around rather than against it, and to reduce displacement by allowing a random distribution of tetrapods to mutually interlock.
- An organism that uses four legs.

What are the six bones found in tetrapod legs?
The six bones found in all tetrapods legs are the humerus, the radius, the ulna, the carpals, the metacarpals and phalanges.
What is homolugous in evolution?
The bones in the forelegs of your dog or cat are homologous structures to the bones that are in your arms. This show the common ancestry of mammals, recently, and all tetrapods ultimately.
What is an example of an organ systems whose anatomical features differ entirely in function found in mammals than in their non-mammalian ancestors?
Most tetrapods -- including pre-human mammals -- originated in water and have since evolved to function on land. As such, substantial anatomical chance has occurred.
What is an an example of macroevolution?
Speciation is an example of macroevolution. The slow transition of land tetrapods to whales, the transition of small, many toed creatures into horses. These are not linear so much as branching progressions with the occasional dead end. Darwin's finches are a modern example of macroevolution by adaptive radiation.speciationBirds are reptiles.
What is an innovation associated with amphibians?
They are tetrapods.
How much do tetrapods cost?

Yes.
Which evolutionary innovation was most significant in helping tetrapods move to dry terrestrial environments?
The evolutionary innovation that was most significant in helping tetrapods move to dry terrestrial environments was their lungs.
What did the ancestor of all modern tetrapods look like?
lizard The common ancestor of all modern tetrapods looked like a fish that had nubs the became limbs through evolution.
How long does tetrapods live?
1 to 2 seconds maybe 3
Which group of fishes are most closely related to ancestral amphibians?
Tetrapods
What desccribe all reptiles?

How are mammals and amphibians?
Both are tetrapods and belong to super class Tetrapoda .
How many limb are tetrapods typically considered to have?
