Q

What region of the sclerotome does the VERTEBRAL BODY come from?

A

Ventral Region

makes sense because it is closest to notochord and will wrap around

Q

How are sclerotomes subdivided in cranial/caudal portions?

A

Cranial= loose packed
Caudal= densely packed
Divided by intersegmental boundary (aka von Ebner’s fissure)

Due to gene expressivity and cell density

Q

How is a centrum formed?

A

Q

Why do we have 8 cervical nerves but only 7 cervical vertibrae?

A

Because the sclerotome from the occipital bone lies above C1

Q

What becomes part of the nucleus pulposus?

A

The notochord. If it is not lost by adult, will form a cordoma (cancer)

17
Q

What forms annulus fibrosis?

A

the caudal cells forming circular fibers around nucleus pulposis

18
Q

When/ Where do ribs form?

A

During week 5. On costal processes of T vertebrae

cartilaginous during embryo, ossify during fetal period

19
Q

Where do sternal bars arise from?

A

somatic layer of lateral plate mesoderm

20
Q

When and in what direction do sternal bars fuse?

A

10 weeks. ventrolateral and move medially

21
Q

What axis do Hox genes code for?

A

cranial-caudal (vertebral identity)

22
Q

What gene is important at thoracic/ lumbar junction?

A

Hox10 (stops rib formation)

23
Q

What can cervical ribs cause?

A

thoracic outlet syndrom.

Impinge on brachial plexus and/ or subclavian artery –> paresthesia

24
Q

What is Pectus excavatum?

A

‘Funnel chest’
Depressed sternum, sunken posteriorly.
From extra cartilage weight
(more common in male)

25
Q

What is Pectus carinatum?

A

‘Pigeon chest”
Sternal fusion anomoly
bilateral flattening of chest with anterior protrusion

26
Q

What is epithelial mesenchymal transformation?

A

Myotomes become skeletal muscles of trunk and limbs

27
Q

How do myoblasts form?

A

elongation of nuclei and bodies of mesenchymal cells (if MYOD expressed)

28
Q

Product of myoblast fusion?

A

Myotubes

cylindrical, multinucleated structure

29
Q

What forms in cytoblasm of myotubes?

A

myofilaments

30

A

Partial/complete loss of abdominal ms.
distended abdomen
Cryptochidism (testes don’t descend)
Malformation of UT and bladder
