Another unique feature associated with the head are neurogenic placodes. Placodes are thickenings of the ectoderm occurring early in embryonic development that differentiate and help form a variety of structures of the body. Neurogenic placodes occur only on the head and are involved in forming sensory receptors and neurons, and contribute to the cranial nerves. Thus, the presence of the neural crest and neurogenic placodes, transitory though they may be, are distinguishing feature of craniates.

An orbit, the space occupied in life by the eyeball, lies on either side of this region. The antorbital shelf forms the anterior orbital wall. The orbit is defined dorsally by the antorbital process, supraorbital crest, and postorbital process. Posteriorly and ventrally the orbit expands into paired basitrabecular processes. Various openings into the chondrocranium are present in this region. On the dorsal surface between the antorbital processes is the median epiphyseal foramen. Several smaller openings, the superficial ophthalmic foramina, pierce each supraorbital crest.

They also lack scales except for the modified spine at the base of the dorsal fin. S ECTION I—S KELETON Study a prepared specimen of the dogfish skeleton. It may be immersed in fluid, in a sealed glass jar, or set in clear acrylic blocks and available only for visual inspection. Separate specimens of the head skeleton may be available for closer inspection. Place such specimens in a tray and cover them with preservative fluid. As they are delicate and easily broken, handle them cautiously. Segments of the vertebral column and the fins are often set in acrylic blocks.
