CROSS-SPECIES ANATOMY - ANNOTATIONS

The Basic subset of the UBERON integrated, cross-species anatomy ontology is downloaded weekly from http://berkeleybop.org/ontologies/uberon/basic.obo. For more information about this ontology see the "About" page on the UBERON website at http://uberon.github.io/about.html.

Term:branchiomeric muscle

Accession:UBERON:0004164 term browser browse the term
Definition:A jaw muscle that arises from cranial mesenchyme and is innervated by cranial nerves.
Comment:[taxon-note] "It has been hypothesized that Haikouella must have been powered by branchiomeric muscles, as in living craniates, rather than by water moving through the pharynx via ciliary currents, as in lancelets[http://icb.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/4/743.full]"
Synonyms:exact_synonym: branchial head muscle;   branchiomeric skeletal muscle
 xref: Wikipedia:Branchiomeric_musculature;   XAO:0004325
