Development of muscular and skeletal system Flashcards
What is the precursor for somites?
The paraxial mesoderm
What do the somites divide into?
The somite form next to the neural tube and will divide into a ventromedial and dorsolateral part
What does the ventromedial part of the somite become?
The sclerotome which will be the axial skeleton
What does the dorsolateral part of the somite become?
The dermatome (dermis) or myotome (muscle)
What is the process of a somite differentiating?
The somite will split into its two separate parts then the cells will migrate down and surround the notocord and the neural tube
What are the cells that form from the sclerotome?
mesenchyme cells which will form the embryonic connective tissue
What are the two processes of the bone formation?
intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification
What does intramembranous ossification form?
face/skull bones and clavicle-
mesenchyme to bone
What does the endochondral ossification form?
The long bones and the pelvis
mesenchyme to cartilage to bone
What does the vertebral column form from?
The notochord and sclerotome
what is the process of the vertebral column formation?
1/2 of the caudal dense from section a and 1/2 of the cephalic loose from section b will fuse and form a bone
What are the two sections of the sclerotome in the vertebral region called?
caudal dense and cephalic loose
What part of the vertebra does the caudal dense form?
The articulating processes
What part of the vertebra does the cephalic loose form?
part of the vertebral body
Where do the intervertebral disc come from?
The notochord and sclerotome
