Abbreviations

* (c) indicates that the anatomical term refers to a feature of cartilage , while (db) and (cb) refer to dermal and chondral bone respectively
+ for discussion of this terminology, please see Comments section of About the Atlas page
# the term epihyal also has been applied in the literature to the hyomandibular portion of the hyosymplectic, but we follow Cubbage and Mabee's usage here
