Uberon definition : Paired appendage that consists of the anterior appendicular skeleton and associated
soft and hard tissues, but excludes the pectoral girdle and its associated soft and
hard tissues.;
Uberon Homology note : While the skeletons of teleost pectoral fins and tetrapod forelimbs are homologous
at the level of endoskeletal radials, teleosts and tetrapods do not share homologous
skeletal elements at the level of 'individuated' pro-, meso-, and metapterygia. Among
osteichthyans, only basal actinopterygians retain the full complement of elements
present in non-osteichthyan gnathostomes.[uncertain][VHOG];
Paired appendage that consists of the anterior appendicular skeleton and associated
soft and hard tissues, but excludes the pectoral girdle and its associated soft and
hard tissues.
