FIGURE 18.

Schematic drawing of musculotendinous system (MTS) of different body regions in Argyropelecus affinis (MNHN 2021‐0224, 59 mm SL). (a) Myoseptum of V16 at 0,58L. DAC/VAC present. ECT, LTs, ENT and EPT present. (b) Myoseptum of V22 at 0,69L. LTs extending from anterior into posterior cones. (c) Tendons that insert on caudal‐fin rays and represent LTs of V32–V35. (d) Overview of different body regions and their MTS. Abbreviations: ECT, epicentral tendon; ENT, epineural tendon; EPT, epipleural tendon; HM, horizontal midline; LT, lateral tendon; MT, myorhabdoid tendon; RMT, tendon within red muscle bundles
