  2. Skeleton SystemsNOTABLE CHARACTERISTICS • ______ of adjacent bones (example: furcula… the wishbone) • ______: Pneumaticity of many bones resulting in the presence of air cavities Gary Ritcheson EKU

  13. Bones of the TRUNK • Vertebral column • Ribs • Sternum • Pectoral Girdle • Pelvic Girdle

  14. Vertebral Column • Cervical vertebrae: neck ______ • Thoracic vertebrae: chest ____ • Lumbar vertebrae: loin ____ • Sacral vertebrae: pelvis ____ • Caudal vertebrae: tail ____

  15. Caudal (aka tail) Vertebrae • Terminal vertebra: represents several ______vertebrae in humans and reptiles • Terminal vertebra: ________ --serves as base for rectrices _____ caudal vertebrae

  16. Ribs • ________ (compared to human) • Typical rib: bony attachment in ___ places to the vertebrae… with cartilaginous attachment in place to sternum • This design permits sternum to move in __ directions for breathing

  17. Sternum • Breastbone • Two types:________: ventral surface flattened (flightless birds) ________: ventral surface keeled (flying birds)

  18. Carina (keel) • Part of the sternum • Only found on ________sterna (i.e., flying birds) • ______________to the “typical” sternum bone found in mammals, some other vertebrates • Provides large surface for attachment of 2 key muscles: a) pectoralis major & minor b) supracoracoideus

  19. _______

  20. Pectoral Girdle • “shoulder” girdle • _______ supporting wing: a) _________ b) _________ c) _________(fused together = furcula = wishbone) B B A B A A C C

  21. Pelvic Girdle • Fairly similar to human pelvis • Gives support to _____ • 3-parts: a) ilium—largest and longest b) ischium—thin, plate-like c) pubis—slender, needle-like • Bones are fused to vertebral column

  22. Bones of the HEAD • _____fusion • _____bones—3 areas a) cranium b) face c) tongue

  23. Bones of the HEAD--Cranium

  24. Bones of the HEAD--Cranium • Occipital—base of cranium • Parietals—back & top • Frontals—roof of anterior portion of cranium • Squamosals • Periotic capsules—contain hearing organs

  25. Bones of the HEAD--Face • Quadrate—connect lower mandible with cranium • Quadratojugals & jugals—equals zygomatic arch in mammals • __________—”upper” jaw • Palatines--palate

  26. Bones of the HEAD—Face..con’t • ___________—form tip of upper mandible a) part of culmen of beak b) dentary process • Nasals—rest on the ethmoid • Lacrimals— paired bones in anterior portions of orbits • _________ bones a) two bones fused anteriorly (dentary) b) each jaw bone consist of 5, immovable bones

  27. Bones of the HEAD—Tongue • __________________ a) glossohyal—main bulk of tongue b) basihyal, basibranchial, ceratobranchials, & epibranchials epibranchial Ceratobranchial glossohyal basibranchial basihyal

  28. Skeletal Summary • __________number of bones • __________bones numerous • Ratite vs. carinate importance • Bones are _______, but structurally strong • Backbone _______to pelvic girdle

  29. remained flexibile reduced flexibilility rigidity reduced flexibilility center of gravity

  30. Frigatebird– has 7’ wingspan weights about 3 lbs ● only 4 oz. of that total is bone (~8%)

  31. “Perching” • Does ___require much energy • Tendons that flex the toe can _____the foot a tight grip—on rear side of ankle • _________ contraction is required to hold the toes closed • _____________________ on tendons lying underneath the toe bones mesh with ridges on the inside surface of the surrounding tendon sheath

  32. MUSCULAR SYSTEM • ________--involuntary • ________ --involuntary • ________--voluntary

  33. MUSCULAR SYSTEM _____________ _____________ • Total muscles in birds: ___ • Major differences—among species with respect to breast muscle tissue composition and color • Fast vs. slow twitch

  34. Muscles – Mass distribution differences flight muscles ______of total body mass, legs ____ • Hummingbirds & swallows mostly flight • Predatory birds flight but use legs to capture prey • Swimming birds • “Terrestrial” birds --run instead of fly to flee flight muscles ~_____of total body mass, leg ____ limb & flight muscles about equal percentage, overall _______of total body mass limb muscle mass __than flight muscle mass

  35. Muscles…back to Slow vs. Fast Twitch • Two basic processes “fuel” muscle contract: A) ____________metabolic pathways --achieve “quick” response --does not requires O2 --more fast-twitch muscle fibers, relative to slow-twitch muscle fibers B)____________metabolic pathways --achieve “sustained” response --requires O2 --more slow-twitch muscle fibers, relative to fast-twitch muscle fibers --slow-twitch muscle fibers contain lots of _____________

  36. _____________Twitch Muscle Fibers Category Slow-Twitch Fast-Twitch ______________ more fewer ______________ more less Myoglobin more less Color appearance red-brown white __________ build-up lower higher Fatigue slower quicker

  37. White vs. Red/Dark Meat Examples • “White” meat: turkeys, pheasant, chickens, grouse • Red/dark meat examples: pigeon, waterfowl (ducks, geese, swans), passerines, hawks, owls, vultures)

  38. Muscles & Birds Other “flier” vs. “runner” differences • Composition of leg muscles indicates regular, sustainable activity • Composition of breast muscles (major muscle groups responsible for up- and downstroke of wings) indicative to long vs. short flight capabilities • Fliers—(think songbirds, waterfowl, etc.) a) legs: ______amounts of myoglobin b) breast: ______amounts of myoglobin • Runners—(think quail, pheasant, wild turkey) a) legs: ______amounts of myoglobin b) breast: _______________ myoglobin

  39. More on muscle physiology… • “White” muscle tissue has high ________ content—think “quick” energy. Allows for quick flight as it is metabolized ______________ (i.e., ____________) • Glycogen is transformed into ___________. Lactic acid is a ________ and its accumulation in the muscles limits stamina—disrupts “reset” of cellular processes • Birds use glycogen anaerobically at ________ and when _______, but as flight steadies, they switch to burning fat

  40. Major Flight Muscles ↓ _________________– origin on keel of sternum (lateral side) and inserts at humerus on ventral side _____________________ relaxes during upstroke ↑ ________________– origin on keel of sternum (lateral side), passes through foramen triosseum, inserts (tendon) on dorsal head of humerus. Foramen trosseum formed by articulation of the furcula, coracoid, and scapula.relaxes during downstroke____________________

  41. pectoralis

  42. supracoracoideus

  43. Left humerus Foramen triosseum right humerus supracoracoideus
