" /> tarsal skeleton - CISMeF





Preferred Label : tarsal skeleton;

Uberon definition : Subdivision of skeleton that consists of endochondral elements distal to the zeugopodial skeletal elements which constitute the proximal region of the posterior autopod skeleton[PHENOSCAPE:ad].;

Uberon synonym : hind mesopodial skeleton; hind mesopodium skeleton; tarsalia; hind mesopodium; set of tarsal bones; skeletal parts of hind mesopodium; tarsal bones set;

Uberon related term : mesopodium; tarsal bones; basipodium; tarsus;

Uberon Homology note : The three main outgroup taxa of tetrapods, panderichthyids, osteolepiforms, and rhizodontids, have endoskeletal elements corresponding to the stylo- and zeugopodial elements in a tetrapod limb. In addition, there are elements that share the position and possibly the developmental derivation of the ulnare and the intermedium. From these observations, most authors have concluded that the stylo- and zeugopodial elements as well as the proximal mesopodial elements have counterparts in the fins of tetrapod ancestors, but there are no indications of wrist or ankle joints.[well established][VHOG];

Uberon Taxon note : Not always associated with digits, in sarcopterygians the ulnare is present without true digits being formed, though their homologous radial elements are present;
