Myomeres closest to the girdles are slightly different in shape and muscle fiber angle, but all of the intervening myomeres are nearly identical. |

In contrast to fish myomeres, the axial locomotor muscles of dolphins are organized into longitudinal tracts as is typical of mammals. |
|
Far less debatably, the long conodont body has obvious V-shaped myomeres throughout its length. |
|
Fish generate axial bending through contractions of the myomeres, serially repeated lateral muscles in the trunk and tail. |
|
During turtle ontogeny the reduction of the trunk myomeres leads to sinking of the vertebrae and ribs into the dermis. |
|
In fish, the retrorse inclination of the myomeres forms a precursor of the differentiation between a deep and a superficial musculature of the trunk. |
|
Myomeres and myosepta are connected directly to the dermis of the skin, as well as to the vertebral column. |
