## Abstract The carp, __Cyprinus carpio__, was found to have eight pairs of muscles inserting on the pharyngeal bones. These were the levator arcus branchialis V, retractor os pharyngeus superioris, retractor os pharyngeus inferioris, cleithropharyngeus superficialis, cleithropharyngeus profundus,

Abstract
The innervation pattern of the respiratory gill arches of the carp (Cyprinus carpio) is described. The gill region is innervated by the branchial branches of the glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves. Each branchial nerve divides at the level of or just distal to the epibranchial ganglion into: 1) a pretrematic branch, 2) a dorsal pharyngeal branch, and 3) a posttrematic branch. The dorsal pharyngeal branch innervates the palatal organ in the roof of the buccal cavity. The pretrematic and posttrematic branches innervate the posterior and anterior halves, respectively, of the gill arches bordering a gill slit. Each branch splits into an internal and an external part. The internal bundle innervates the buccal side of the gill arch, including the gill rakers. The external bundle terminates in the gill filaments. The epibranchial motor branch, a small nerve bundle containing only motor fibers, circumvents the ganglion and anastomoses distally with the posttrematic branch. The detailed course and branching patterns of these branches are described.

## Abstract Gill development begins on the sixth day of incubation at 10^Β°^C and is complete by 31 days (hatching). Gill arches are formed by fusion and perforation of ectoderm and endoderm across the pharyngeal wall. A primary branchial artery forms within each arch and a second branchial artery f
Genome duplications are believed to have occurred on multiple occasions in vertebrate evolution. Studies of duplicate gene loci in tetraploid animals may reveal important general aspects of gene duplication, an important mode of gene evolution in metazoans. The common carp Cyprinus carpio has twice

Smad4 is defined as the common-mediator Smad (Co-Smad) required for transducing signals for all transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily members. In this study, we have isolated eight distinct Smad4 full-length cDNAs from the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). These cDNAs were classified i
