B6.012 Early Development of the MSK System Flashcards
what are the components of the MSK system
muscles connective tissue: -bone -cartilage -ligaments -tendons -fascia
components of muscle
actin and myosin
collagen in endomysium
components of bone
collagen and calcium
types of cartilage
fibrous- in ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules
hyaline- can provide model for bone formation
both collagen
function and components of ligaments
connect bones to bones, enable motion
bands of fibrous connective tissue (collagen) with dense irregular CT sheaths surrounding bundles
function and components of tendons
connect muscle to bones, allow joint movement
bands of fibrous CT (collagen), no sheath
function and components of fascia
attaches, stabilizes, encloses and separates muscles
allows smooth, unrestricted movement
band or sheet of fibrous connective tissue (collagen)
origin of general muscle tissue
mesodermal germ layer
origin of skeletal muscle
paraxial mesoderm
origin of smooth muscle
splanchnic/visceral lateral plate mesoderm
origin of mammary and sweat gland muscles
ectoderm
origin of cardiac muscle
splanchnic/visceral LPM
what are the derivatives of the paraxial mesoderm that develop into skeletal muscle
somitomeres and somites
transient paired structures
segment cranial-caudal axis
origin of head muscles
7 somitomeres in occipital region
partially segments whorls of mesenchymal cells
origin of body wall and limbs muscle
somitomeres that undergo epithelialization to form balls of epithelial cells with cavities (somites)
extend from occipital region to tail bud
derivatives of the somite
sclerotome
myotome
dermatome
ventrolateral cells (subset)
sclerotome
ribs
vertebrae
rib cartilage
myotome
muscles of the back, body wall (intercostals), and some limb muscles
dermatome
connective tissue of dermis of back
ventrolateral cells (subset of myotome)
most of musculature for body wall (obliques, transversus abdominis) and limbs
how is the sclerotome formed from somite
ventral region of somite becomes mesenchymal again to form sclerotome
how is dermatome formed from somite
dorsal region of somite becomes dermatome and 2 muscle forming regions (dorsomedial and ventrolateral)
cells migrate ventrally
what is the dermamyotome
formed from migrating DM and VL muscle cells migrating ventral to dermatome to form the myotome
what happens to a subset o VL muscle cells?
migrate into lateral plate mesoderm (parietal layer) to form: infrahyoid, abdominal wall, and limb muscles
what happens to the rest of the myotome cells?
form muscles of back, shoulder girdle, and intercostals
what is the lateral somatic frontier (LSF)
separates 2 domains of muscle precursor cells (based on origin) into primaxial and abaxial domains
primaxial domain
region around neural tube
contains only somite derived cells (paraxial mesoderm)
signaling from neural tube and notocord
abaxial domain
parietal layer of LPM plus somite cells from VL region of myotome that migrated across LSF
signaling from LPM
how do skeletal muscle cells form from myoblasts?
- myoblasts fuse and form long, multinucleated muscle fibers, wrapped in CT (endomysium)
- myofibrils appear in cytoplasm
- cross striations appear at the end of the 3rd month
- bundles of myofibers wrapped in CT (epimysium) are called fascicles
- partitions of CT (perimysium) form septa
function of CT layer in skeletal muscle fibers
contains blood vessels and nerves for muscle
when does cardiac muscle form
4th week
what is the origin of cardiac muscle
lateral plate (splanchnic/visceral) mesoderm surrounding epithelial heart tube
how do myoblasts of cardiac muscle develop
- myoblasts adhere to each other by special attachments that develop into intercalated disks
- growth of myofibers occurs by formation of new myofilaments
- myoblasts DO NOT fuse like in skeletal, myofibers are mono- or bi-nucleated
how do purkinje fibers differ from normal cardiac muscle fibers
bundles of muscle cells with irregularly distributed myofibrils and larger cell diameters
origin of smooth muscle cells (SMC) of some blood vessels
LPM (splanchnic/visceral)
origin of SMC of coronary arteries
proepicardial cells and neural crest
origin of SMC of wall of gut and its derivatives
surrounding LPM (splanchnic)
origin of SMC of pupil sphincter and dilator muscles
ectoderm
origin of myoepithelial cells in mammary and sweat glands
ectoderm
formation of smooth muscle cells
- differentiation of mesenchymal cells with development of elongated nuclei in spindle shaped myoblasts
- myoblasts DO NOT fuse and remain mononucleated
- later, more SMC are formed by division of existing myoblasts
- filamentous but non sarcomeric contractile elements develop in cytoplasm
- some develop into sheets or bundles
origin of axial tendons
dorsolateral sclerotome (PA mesoderm) derivatives, lie adjacent to myotomes at anterior and posterior somite borders
origin of limb tendons
LPM and dorsolateral sclerotome
origin of deep fascia
mesenchymal (mesodermal) undifferentiated CT
present in embryo from week 21
location of deep fascia
parallel to skin below subQ adipose tissue
projections extend superficially to organize adipose
projections extend deeply to embed muscle tissue
forms networks in body
