FIGURE 14

Schematic drawing of musculotendinous system (MTS) of different body regions in Sigmops elongatus (MNHN 2003 1394, 175 mm SL). (a) Myoseptum of V18 at 0,48L. There is no DAC/VAC. ECT, ENTB and EPTB present; (b) Myoseptum of V25 at 0,63L. Anterior cones present. LTs extending from anterior to posterior cones. Dorsally there is an ENT and ventrally still an EPTB present. (c) Tendons that insert on caudal‐fin rays and represent LTs of V37–V40. (d) Overview of different body regions and their MTS. Abbreviations: DAC, dorsal anterior cone; DPC, dorsal posterior cone; ECT, epicentral tendon; ENT, epineural tendon; ENTB, epineural tendon bone; EPTB, epipleural tendon bone; F.NL, foramen for the nervus lateralis; HM, horizontal midline; LT, lateral tendon; MT, myorhabdoid tendon; RMTs, tendons within red muscle bundles; VAC, ventral anterior cone; VPC, ventral posterior cone.
