Q

What happens in week 6

A

Formation of digital rays of hands

The mesoderm of the somatic layer of the lateral plate condense and give rise to digits

The entire skeleton system is cartilaginous

Q

Motor axons from spinal cord enter the limb buds when

A

Week 5

20
Q

Sensory neurons come from where

A

Neural crest

21
Q

Motor neurons come from where

A

Neuro ectoderm

22
Q

Neural crest cells give rise to what else in terms of neurons?

A

Schwann cells

23
Q

Upper limbs rotates how and where

A

Lateral 90

24
Q

Lower limbs rotate where and how much

A

Medially 90

25
Q

Rotation of the limbs occurs when

A

Week 7

26
Q

Intersegmental arteries give rise to what

A

A primary axial artery

27
Q

The primary axial artery gives rise to what

A

Brachial artery

28
Q

Define club foot

A

Most common skeletal abnormality

Feet are plantar flexed, turned in medially and inverted

All anatomical structures present

More common in males

29
Q

How does club foot happen

A

Too little amniotic fluid, restricted limb movement

30
Q

Define developmental hip dysplasia

A

More common in females

Under development of the acetabulum of the hip bone

Generalized joint laxity

31
Q

Patterning is due to what

A

Hox genes

32
Q

Define proximo-distal growth

A

Hox genes regulate types and shapes of bones

Uses FGF 4 and 8

33
Q

Define dorso-ventral patterning

A

BMP’s maintain ventral surface

Wnt7 maintain the dorsal surface

These signals establish the AER

34
Q

Define anterior-posterior patterning

A

Zone of polarizing activity releases retnoic acid and SHH to form posterior elements (digits)

35
Q

What happens with a loss of ZPA

A

Loss of posterior elements

36
Q

What happens with the upregulation of ZPA

A

Additional posterior elements (polydactyly)

37
Q

What happens with duplication of ZPA

A

Duplication of posterior elements

38
Q

Issues with FGF 8/4/10 will mean what

A

Short structures (brachydactyly)

39
Q

Issues with BMPS will mean what

A

Issues with separating structures

40
Q

Loss of ZPA means what

A

Loss of an element

41
Q

Upregulation of ZPA means what

A

Additional element

42
Q

Duplication of ZPA means what

A

Additional duplicate digit on same side

43
Q

What is ameylia

A

Weeks 3/4

No upper limbs

44
Q

Split hand defect

A

Ectrodactyly

45
Q

What is arthrogyposis

A

Joint and connective tissue disorders
