Examples of bony labyrinth in the following topics:
-
- The structures of the inner ear are found in the labyrinth, a bony, hollow structure that is the most interior portion of the ear.
-
- The human skull is a bony structure which supports the structures of the face and forms a cavity for the brain.
- They are contained within the middle ear space and serve to transmit sounds from the air to the fluid-filled labyrinth (cochlea) .
- The human rib cage, also known as the thoracic cage, is a bony and cartilaginous structure which surrounds the thoracic cavity and supports the pectoral girdle, forming a core portion of the human skeleton.
-
- Similar to the mandala, the labyrinth is a geometric pattern often used to symbolize a journey to the center or to the divine.
- A labyrinth, though similar in appearance to a child's maze, consists of a single, non-branching path which leads to the center.
- Labyrinths can be thought of as symbolic forms of pilgrimage.
- Many people could not afford to travel to holy sites and lands so labyrinths and prayer substituted for such travel.
- In prehistoric times, labyrinths may have also served as traps for malevolent spirits or as defined paths for ritual dances.
-
- Members of the clade Osteichthyes, also called bony fish, are characterized by a bony skeleton.
- The skin of bony fish is often covered by overlapping scales.
- Like sharks, bony fish have a lateral line system that detects vibrations in water.
- All bony fish use gills for gas exchange.
- Ray-finned fish are named for their fins that are webs of skin supported by bony spines called rays.
-
- The sternum or breastbone is a long, flat, bony plate connected to the rib bones via cartilage that forms the anterior section of the rib cage.
- The sternum, or breastbone, is a
long, flat, bony plate that forms the most anterior section of the ribcage.
-
- The auditory vesicle gives rise to the utricular and saccular components of the membranous labyrinth.
- Beginning in the fifth week of development, the auditory vesicle also gives rise to the cochlear duct, which contains the spiral organ of Corti and the endolymph that accumulates in the membranous labyrinth.
- The basilar membrane separates the cochlear duct from the scala tympani, a cavity within the cochlear labyrinth.
-
- Members of Craniata posses a cranium, which is a bony, cartilaginous, or fibrous structure surrounding the brain, jaw, and facial bones .
- Vertebrates display the four characteristic features of chordates, but they are named for the vertebral column composed of a series of bony vertebrae joined together as a backbone .
- Although it lacks a backbone, the hagfish is a member of the Craniata clade because it possesses a bony skull.
-
- A gomphosis is a fibrous joint that binds the teeth to bony sockets in the bones of the maxilla mandible.
- Each tooth has bony protrusions or pegs that latch into the socket with the assistance of the gomphosis.

-
- Vertebrata is a subphlyum of Chordata that is further defined by their bony backbone.
- However, the subphylum Vertebrata is distinguished from the phylum Chordata by the development of the notochord into a bony backbone.
- Vertebrates include the amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds, as well as the jawless fishes, bony fishes, sharks, and rays .
- In vertebrates, the notochord develops into the vertebral column or spine: a series of bony vertebrae each separated by mobile discs .
- Vertebrates include amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds, as well as the jawless fishes, bony fishes, sharks, and rays.
