BONE DEVELOPMENT ACH Flashcards
when is the critical period for the development of skeleton, muscles and limbs
week 4
when does neural tube begin to close
week 4
where are somitomeres derived from
paraxial mesoderm
what induces formation of the somitomeres
neural tube
how does somitomere development progress and what regulates it
rostal to caudal
what do somitomeres become when they are compacted and bound by epithelium
somites
how many pairs of somites
42-44
pairs 1-7 of somites
do not compact
what do the 1-7 somites contribute to
head and neck structures
what do mesodermal cells from somites give rise to
dermomyotome
what does dermomyotome give rise to
dermatomes
dermatomes
skin, dermis, subcutaneous tissue
myotomes
skeletal muscle of trunk and limbs
sclerotome
bone
what makes up mesenchyme
multipotent cells
where is mesenchyme derived from
mesoderm or neural crest
notochord leads to..
neural plate and neural tube development
neural tube develops to..
somites
intramembranous ossification
mesenchymal cells differentiate directly into osteoblasts
where does intramembranous ossification occur?
flat skull bones
endochondral ossification
mesenchymal cells are transformed into chondroblasts that lay down hyaline cartilage
what causes primary ossification centers to form?
periosteal capillaries bring in osteogenic cells into the diaphysis
what do osteoblasts do?
lay down minearlized matrix that replaces cartilage
what continues to lay down cartilage until we’re about 20
growth (epiphyseal) plate
which direction do growth plates grow
diaphysis toward epiphysis
where do secondary ossification centers form?
ephiphyses (ends)
when do most secondary ossification centers form?
postnatally
abnormality of conversion of cartilage into bone. Most common form of dwarfism.
achondroplasia
what bones does achondroplasia affect?
long bones
enlargement of head, hands, and feet due to excess growth hormone secreted by pituitary after closure of epihyseal plates
acromegaly
excess growth hormone before growth plates close (during childhood)
gigantism
autosomal dominant disorder due to mutation in gene for fibrillin that affects connective tissue - results in long thin limbs
marfan syndrome
extreme bone fragility, spontaneous fracture may even occur in utero, defect in type I collagen gene
osteogenesis imperfecta
hip joint gets flattened due to misgrowing of cartilage in the hip - head of femur can slip out
congenital hip dysplasia/dislocation
mesenchyme between hyaline cartilage models is replaced by fibrous tissue or fibrocartilage
fibrocartilaginous joints
where are fibrocartilaginous joints
sutures in the skull
where chondroblasts condense around ends of bones and across space to form articular surfaces and joint capsules
synovial joints
what can cartilage between epiphyses remodel into?
menisci
where does myotome originate from?
paraxial mesoderm
what do myoblasts give rise to
myotubes
