Abstract:Vertebral bodies are composed of two types of metameric elements, centra and arches, each of which is considered as a developmental module. Most parts of the teleost vertebral column have a one‐to‐one relationship between centra and arches, although, in all teleosts, this one‐to‐one relationship is lost in the caudal fin endoskeleton. Deviation from the one‐to‐one relationship occurs in most vertebrates, related to changes in the number of vertebral centra or to a change in the number of arches. In zebrafish, … Show more
