Biology:Palatoquadrate
In some fishes, the palatoquadrate is the dorsal component of the mandibular arch, the ventral one being Meckel's cartilage. The palatoquadrate forms from splanchnocranium.
Evolution
The palatoquadrate is believed to have evolved from the branchial arches; it is a serial homologue of the epibranchial.[1]
The palatoquadrate persists as a distinct cartilaginous element in chondrichthyans, placoderms, and chondrosteans.[2]
In early acanthodians, as well as primitive osteichthyans, the element ossifies as a single bone, divided into the pars autopalatina, the pars quadrata, and the pars metapterygoidea.[2]
In later acanthodians, the palatoquadrate ossifies into three elements: the quadrate, the metapterygoid, and the autopalatine.
In most osteichthyes, the palatoquadrate typically remains largely unossified; its anterior part ossifies into the epipterygoid, while its posterior part ossifies into the quadrate.[3] In dipnoi, the palatoquadrate fuses to the neurocranium.[2]
In the Surinam horned frog, the palatoquadrate is entirely ossified.[4]
