- Definition
- Median unpaired cartilage bone that ossifies as a perichondral lamellae ensheathing the nasal septum anterodorsally and laterally (Harrington, 1955). In adult D. rerio, the center of the mesethmoid remains cartilaginous (Cubbage & Mabee, 1996). The mesethmoid meets the supraethmoid dorsally, the lateral ethmoids posterolaterally, and the vomer and parasphenoid ventrally in synostoses. Anterolaterally the mesethmoid meets the preethmoids in synchondroses.
