A comparative anatomy diagram depicts the head of a moray eel (family Muraenidae), highlighting oral jaws and an internal set of pharyngeal jaws (PJ) located in the pharynx. Skeletal elements and associated protractor and retractor muscles (tissues) are shown within the cranial region of a teleost fish, illustrating a hierarchy of tissues within an organ system. In ichthyology and functional morphology, this apparatus enables prey capture and intraoral transport, demonstrating a specialized feeding mechanism in these eels.
