Definitions

A certain hypobranchial muscle found in batoid fish.

uncommon

Examples

“The cranial muscles of batoids are basically similar to sharks, although some of the homologies are unclear (e.g., the "X" muscle of electric rays), the muscles are depressed in form (e.g., preorbitalis), some muscles may be lacking (e.g., intermandibularis), and some muscles may be unique to batoids (e.g., coracohyomandibularis) (Miyake et al., 1992),”

“The hypobranchial muscles include the coracoarcualis, coracohyoideus, coracomandibularis, and coracohyomandibularis.”

“Batoids also have two unique muscles that depress the hyomandibular cartilage, a depressor hyomandibularis and coracohyomandibularis muscle (Marion, 1905; Miyake et al., 1992; Wilga and Motta, 1998b).”

“The sternohyoideus extends from the fascia ventral to the coracohyomandibularis and inserts onto the hypohyal cartilage (Figure 5.5E).”

“New muscles also evolved within batoids to move the cranium vertically (levator and depressor rostri), to depress and retract the hyomandibular cartilage (coracohyomandibularis, depressor hyomandibularis), and to depress the lower jaw (depressor mandibularis) (Fig. 8.8) (Miyake 1988; Miyake et al. 1992).”
