Basic Embryology Of The Vertebral Column Flashcards
What are the 3 layers of the embryo called?
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
Invagination of ectoderm along the primitive speak gives rise to what embryonic structure?
Notochord
What is the name given to the mesoderm that will give rise to the vertebral column?
Par axial mesoderm
What does par axial mesoderm give rise to that will form the vertebral column?
Somites
Name the areas of cellular differentiation formed within the somite.
Sclerotome, myotonic and dermatome
What part of the somite will give rise to the vertebral column?
Sclerotoma
List in order, the names of the successive vertebral columns formed during development.
Membranous, cartilaginous, skeletal or osseous
Migration of sclerotomes to surround the notochord forms what developmental feature?
The perichordal blastema
The perichordal blastem gives rise to what processes?
Neural processes and costal processes
What is the name of the artery located between adjacent perichordal blastemae?
Inter segmental artery
Cell proliferation within the perichordal. Blastema will result in what features?
A loose cranial sclerotomite and a dense caudal sclerotomite
What forms between the sclerotomite said of a perichordal blastema?
The intrasclerotomal fissure (fissure of Von Ebner)
The intrasclerotomal fissure gives rise to what developmental feature?
The perichordal disc
The perichordal disc in the presumptive location of what adult feature?
The intervertebral disc
What is the earliest embryonic feature what will Id the position of the adult interertrebral disc?
The intrasclerotomal fissure
