neurological/muscle/joint defects

75
Q

discuss the formation of limb muscles from myotomes (of somites)

A

initially segmented according to somite origin, but eventually form single muscle
limb patterning based on CT derived from LPM (parietal)

76

79
Q

what are muscular dystrophies

A

some caused by mutations in gene for dystrophin

80
Q

what is dystrophin

A

cytoplasmic protein
forms protein complex linking contractile elements to cell membrane
maintains cell structure of myocytes and enables contraction

81
Q

what happens to muscle cells lacking dystrophin

degenerate and die
replaced by fibrous tissue
remaining muscle cells hypertrophy

82
Q

84
Q

motor innervation of developing musculature

A

due to vertebral level from which muscle cells originate

85
Q

limb muscle innervation

A

innervated by primary ventral rami of spinal nerves from its spinal segment
divide to form dorsal and ventral branches to compartments
branches unite to form larger nerves
contact between nerves and muscle cells necessary for differentiation

86
Q

sensory innervation of musculature

A

spinal nerves
reflects embryological origin and innervation of skin dermatomes (NOT somite dermatome)
dermatome pattern changes with growth and rotations of extremities; but retains segmental pattern

87
Q

blood supply to the limbs

A

supplies by branches of intersegmental arteries from the aorta
primary axial artery and its branches form in limbs, vascular pattern progresses via angiogenesis to form vessels of upper and lower limbs

88
Q

molecular regulation of proximal-distal limb development

A

outgrowth from body wall: FGF10 from LPM
formation of AER: BMPs in ventral ectoderm
restriction of AER to distal limb tip: SER2 from RADICAL FRINGE in dorsal limb ectoderm

89
Q

what factors does AER express

A

FGF4 and 8

maintain progress zone/undifferentiated zone of proliferating mesenchyme near AER

90
Q

SHH - zeugopod
FGF stops - autopod

91
Q

what is anterior to posterior limb development

A

thumb to pinky development

92
Q

how is anterior to posterior limb development regulated

A

zone of polarizing activity (ZPA)- cluster of mesenchymal cells at posterior border of limb, near AER

93
Q

what is the function of ZPA

A

produced retinoic acid which leads to expression of SHH
contributes to specification of posterior in AP axis
as limb grows, ZPA moves distal in proximity to posterior border of AER

94
Q

what happens if anterior to posterior limb development is dysregulated

A

abnormal expression of SHH by ZPA misplaced to anterior border leads to duplication of ZPA and SHH
signaling
results in mirror duplication of posterior limb structures (little fingers)

95
Q

function of HOX gene

A

gene expression in limbs that correspond to 3 limb segments

regulates types and shapes of bones

96
Q
