What type of connective tissue forms the bony skeleton?
bone, or osseous
Type of tissue that forms the bony skeleton?
Osseous
What is a cartilage skeleton?
A cartilage skeleton is a structure primarily composed of cartilage, a flexible and resilient connective tissue, rather than bone. This type of skeleton is characteristic of certain animals, such as sharks and rays, which belong to the class Chondrichthyes. In some juvenile vertebrates, like amphibians, a cartilage skeleton can also serve as a precursor to a bony skeleton that develops later in life. Cartilage allows for greater flexibility and lighter weight compared to a bony skeleton.
Is the skeleton cartilaginous or bony during fetal development?
The skeleton is originally cartilaginous during fetal development. Over time, the cartilage is replaced by bone in a process called endochondral ossification, where bone tissue gradually forms and replaces the cartilage framework.
What is osseous tissue?
Osseous tissue, also known as bone tissue, is the specialized connective tissue that forms bones in the body. It is composed of cells called osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts, as well as a matrix of collagen and mineral salts like calcium. Osseous tissue provides support, protection, and functions in mineral storage and blood cell production.
Do snakes have a bony skeleton?
Yes. Snakes have a bony skeleton as do all land vertebrates.
Describe the protective structures and the gross anatomical features of the spinal cord?
two types of connective tissue coverings - bony vertebrae and tough, connective tissue meninges - plus a cushion of cerebrospinal fluid surround and protect the delicate nervous tissue of the spinal cord.
Is parrot a bony skeleton?
Like all birds (ever eat chicken?) a parrot has a bony skeleton.
Do bony fish have a vertebral column and bony skeleton?
yes. bony fish (class osteichthyes) have a vertebral column and a bony skeleton. cartilaginous fish (class chondrichthyes) have a vertebral column as well but their skeleton is made up of cartilage.
What is the skeletal system of earthworm?
Earthworms have a hydrostatic skeleton, relying on fluid-filled coelom compartments surrounded by muscles for support and movement. They do not have a hard, bony skeleton like vertebrates. The segments of an earthworm's body are held together by a system of muscles and connective tissue, allowing for flexibility and movement.
Do bony fish have bony skeleton?
Yeah, kind of. They have scales...
What type of fish has bony skeletons?
There are bony fishes and cartilaginous fishes.
