25
What jaw type are placoderms and acanthodians?
Euautostylic
26
What is the euautostylic jaw style entail?

51
What is the amphibian head skeleton?
- reduced splanchnocranium - hyomandibular—collumnella - reduced hyoid - dermal bones lost or fused
52
What is the head skeleton of reptiles and birds?
Depending on temporal fenestrae and muscle connection -anapsid, synapsid, diapsid, euryapsid
53
How does the apparence during evolution of the secondary palate affect the pharyngeal region?
Separates the oral/nasal pharynx for better eating and breathing
54
What is the evolutionary trend behind choanae?
They move caudally -towards throat in mammals
55
What is the head skeleton of mammals?
1. Braincase: dermal and endochondral bone 2. Turbinate Bones: - for turbinates which allow for better scent
