B6-012 Early Development of the MSK System Flashcards
what germ layers do skeletal muscles arise from? [2]
paraxial mesoderm
somatic lateral plate mesoderm
what germ layer does smooth muscle arise from? [3]
splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm
ectoderm
neural crest
what germ layer do teeth arise from?
neural crest
arises from somitomeres and somites
skeletal muscle
determine migratory paths of neural crest cells and spinal nerves
‘building blocks” for body plan
somites
the ventral region of the epithelialized somite forms the […] while the remainder forms the […]
sclerotome
dermamyotome
sclerotome derivatives [3]
ribs
rib cartilage
vertebrae
myotome derivatives [3]
back muscles
shoulder girdle
body wall
dermatome derivatives
connective tissue of dermis and back
partial or complete loss of abdominal musculature
organs visible through abdominal wall
prune belly syndrome
causes of prune belly syndrome [2]
incomplete development of abdominal muscles lead to urinary abnormalities
abnormality in bladder and accumulation of urine leads to muscle wasting
limb buds develop at the end of week
4
the mesenchymal core of the limb buds form [2]
bone and connective tissue
the cuboidal ectoderm of the limb buds forms
apical ectodermal ridge
the apical epidermal ridge forms the […] axis
proximal-distal
what factors proliferate near the AER to allow limb lengthening?
FGF4 and 8
as the limb grows, the cells closest to the body wall differentiate into […] and form […]
chrondrocytes
hyaline cartilage models
**provide template for bone formation
[…] signaling helps to pattern the proximal segment
retinoic acid
the AER expresses […] to maintain the undifferentiated cell zone
FGF4 and 8
the […] zone moves distally over time as the limb lengthens
differentiation
what helps to pattern segment identity of the limb?
Hox genes
types and shapes of the bones in limbs are regulated by
HOX genes
[…] and […] help pattern the segments in the proximal-distal axis
HOX genes and retinoic acid
stylopod forms [2]
humerus, femur
**proximal
zeugopod forms [4]
radius/ulna
tibia/fibula
autopod forms [4]
carpals/metacarpals
tarsals/metatarsals
**distal
digit formation occurs via […] in AER
programmed cell death
shortened digits
brachydactyly
fused soft tissue/bones of digits
syndactyly
extra digits which lack proper muscle connections
polydactyly
