Parachordals

He here makes the interesting suggestion, later entirely confirmed, that the _basis cranii_ or basilar plate is first laid down as two strips, one on each side of the chorda -- the structures now known as parachordals (pp. 6, 27). ❋ Unknown (N/A)

The skull is built up of longitudinal cartilaginous pieces, now known as the "parachordals" and "trabeculæ," of sense capsules enclosing the nose and ear, and of various roofing bones. ❋ Unknown (1904)

In these Rathke was inclined to see the homologues of his trabeculæ, and of the parachordals which he was ready to assume from his embryological observations. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

With certain differences of form these elements -- the trabeculae, the parachordals, and the otic capsules, are also the first formed structures of the mammalian cranium. ❋ Unknown (1906)

The parachordals have similarly grown up round, the hind-brain and formed a complete ring, the roof of which is indicated, by b. ❋ Unknown (1906)

In front, and separate from the cranium, are the nasal organs (n.c.); the eyes lie laterally to the trabeculae, and laterally to the parachordals are two tracts of cartilage enclosing the internal ear, the otic capsules. ❋ Unknown (1906)

Behind these trabeculae comes the notochord (n.c.), and around its anterior extremity is a paired tract of cartilage, the parachordals (p.c.). ❋ Unknown (1906)
