Development Flashcards
Derived from paraxial mesoderm
Skeletal muscle
Smooth muscle from ECTODERM
Pupillary, mammary gland and sweat gland muscles
Sphincter and dilator muscles of the pupil, muscle tissue of mammary gland, sweat glands
Smooth muscle differentiates from
Splanchnic mesoderm surrounding the gut and its derivatives
Cardiac muscle differentiates from
Splanchnic mesoderm surrounding the heart tube
From the musculature of the axial skeleton, body wall, limbs and head
Somites and Somitomeres
Striated skeletal muscle from the occipital region caudally.. Somites form and differentiate into
1) sclerotome
2) dermatome
3) 2 muscle forming regions (VLL & DML)
Domain that comprises the regions around the neural tube and contains only somite-derived cells
Primaxial domain
Domain that consists of the parietal layer of lateral plate mesoderm together w/ somite cells that have migrated across the lateral somitic frontier
Abaxial domain
Two muscle forming regions
Dorsolateral region of the somite (VLL) Dorsomedial region (DML)
Dorsolateral region of the somite expresses the muscle specific gene
MyoD
Dorsomedial region expresses the gene
Myf5
Migrates to provide progenitor cells for limb and body wall musculature
Dorsolateral region
Migrates ventral to cells that form dermatome
Dorsomedial region
Also forms the myotome, myf5
Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) is secreted by
1) Notochord
2) floor plate of neural tube
Causes the ventral part of the somite to form sclerotome and express PAX1
SHH
