Preferred Label : actinopterygian parietal bone;
Uberon definition : Dermal bone that covers the otic region and may articulate with its antimere medially,
with the frontal bone anteriorly, the pterotic laterally, the supraoccipital medio-posteriorly,
and the epiotic and extrascapula latero-posteriorly. The parietal is a paired bone.[TAO];
Uberon synonym : actinopterygian parietal;
Uberon related term : parietals; post parietal;
Uberon narrow term : frontal bone; parietal bone;
Uberon Homology note : The homologization of cranial bones of actinopterygians with those of sarcopterygians
based on the bone names established in human anatomy is favored in order to permit
the building of phylogenetic relationship schemes beyond the taxonomic boundaries
of osteichthyans (including tetrapods). (...) In actinopterygians, the terms parietal
and postparietal bones have to replace the commonly used terms 'frontal' and 'parietal'
bones for the two paired bones on the skull roof.[well established][VHOG];
