Q

Somite formation week 4: sclerotome forms?

Dermomyotome forms?

A

Axial skeletal tissues (vertebrae and ribs) — becomes mesenchymal and travels around notochord and neural tube

Dermis and muscle tissues — elongates

Q

Each somite corresponds to what?

How do the nerves and muscle blocks cross the bone?

A

A block of bone (sclerotome), a block of muscle (myotome) and spinal nerve

Bony elements resegment (each vertebra consists of cranial and caudal halves of two sclerotomes- why we have 8 cervical spinal nerves)

Q

A-P axis is defined by?

Significance?

What does it produce?

A

Helps maintain AER and vice versa

Produces SHH

Q

Dorsal muscles vs ventral

Q

Are quads ventral or dorsal?

A

Quads are ventral but developmentally dorsal (rotated- aligns limb parasagittally)

17
Q

Paraxial mesoderm will form

A

Sclerotome (future bone) and dermamyotome (dermis and muscle tissue)

18
Q

Function of Shh and noggin

A

Secreted from ventral neural tube and notochord to transition epithelium to mesenchyme

19
Q

What does PAX1 do

A

Initiates chondrogenesis and formation of vertebrae

20
Q

Function of FGF (and retinoic acid/WNTs)

Why is FGF8 significant

A

Create pattern of limb regionalization

If something happened to the AER, FGF8 is powerful enough to continue limb growth and development

21
Q

What will happen if you have something wrong at the AER

A

Limb will not fully develop

22
Q

Overactive ZPA will cause

A

Mirror image limb duplication (ZPA produces Shh)

23
Q

Direction of development caused by the following:

  1. Retinoic acid
  2. FGF8
  3. Shh
  4. WNT
  5. BMP
A
  1. Proximal
  2. Distal
  3. Anterior/posterior
  4. Dorsal
  5. Ventral
24
Q

Function of BMP

A

Stops limb bud outgrowth (when finished)

25
Concentration of what needs to be low in order for somites to form? What is anatagonistic to this
FGF needs to be low Retinoic acid
26
AER produces which type of elongation?
Proximal to distal (longitudinal limb growth)
27
What is the progress zone
Mesodermal cells underlying the AER that make the limb elongate (controls dorsal ventral axis growth) (controlled by Wnt genes - expressed in dorsal part of progress zone)
28
Where is ZPA located What is it important for
Below AER along proximal posterior limb bud Anterior/posterior patterning (radius ulna limb growth)
29
Loss of ZPA ? Upregulation of ZPA ?
Loss of ulnar digits Additional posterior elements; concentration of Shh will be high (extra fingers)
30
Where in the ZPA is Shh highest
Posterior side
