Hagfish - Wikipedia
Hagfish have no true fins and have six or eight barbels around the mouth and a single nostril. Instead of vertically articulating jaws like Gnathostomata (vertebrates with jaws), they have a pair of horizontally moving structures with tooth-like projections for pulling off food.
Hagfish: Anatomy and Physiology (Intro, Digestive System …
The alimentary canal of hagfish is a straight tube consisting of mouth which opens into throat which leads into intestine through pharynx, which ends into anus (Fig. 2.2a, b, c). The mouth of Myxine is horse-shoe shaped, bordered by two pairs of tentacles.
Cyclostomi - Wikipedia
The mouth apparatus in hagfishes and adult lampreys has some similarities, but differ from one another. Lampreys have tooth plates on the top of a tongue-like piston cartilage, and the hagfish have a fixed cartilaginous plate on the floor of its mouth with groves that allows tooth plates to slide backwards and forwards over it like a conveyor ...

Morphology and kinematics of feeding in hagfish: possible …
2007年11月15日 · As in gnathostomes, the hagfish feeding apparatus includes skeletal, dental and muscular components. In the present study, we examined feeding morphology and kinematics in two hagfish species, Eptatretus stoutii and Myxine glutinosa, representing the two major hagfish lineages.
Hagfish are deep-sea craniates that have not evolved opposable jaws. Despite this, hagfish power a “bite” forceful enough to allow them to utilize food sources ranging from marine worms to giant vertebrate carcasses.
