Uberon definition : Subdivision of skeleton that consists of the endochondral elements distal to the anterior
limb/fin zeugopodial skeletal elements which constitute the proximal region of the
anterior autopod skeleton[PHENOSCAPE:ad].;
Uberon synonym : carpal bones; carpal bones set; fore mesopodium skeleton; ossa carpi; skeleton of carpus; skeletal parts of fore mesopodium; fore mesopodial skeleton;
Uberon related term : fore mesopodium; set of carpal bones; carpus;
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[PHENOSCAPE:ad].;
Subdivision of skeleton that consists of the endochondral elements distal to the anterior
limb/fin zeugopodial skeletal elements which constitute the proximal region of the
anterior autopod skeleton[PHENOSCAPE:ad].
