Development of the Muscular System Flashcards
Mesoderm forms into paraxial, intermediate and lateral plate mesoderm… what does paraxial form?
Paraxial forms somites which forms the myotome ( all muscle but pupil), sclerotome (skull/vertebral column), and dermtome (dermis)
What does the intermediate mesoderm (next to paraxial) form?
the urogenital system (including kidneys and gonads)
What does the lateral plate form (somatopleure and splanchnopleure)?
Connective tissue including blood, lymph, mesenteries and cardiovasuclar
The somite can be divided into two parts, dorsal lateral and ventral medial, what do they become?
Ventral medial becomes the sclerotome and dorsal lateral top part becomes the dermatome and bottom half becomes the myotome
Where does the sclerotome go once it is cut into the ventral medial part?
Migrates down to notochord and around the neural tube to help form vertebral body
What does the sclerotome form and what does that become?
mesenchyme (mesoderm), which is embryonic connective tissue
What are the two different ways to make bone from mesenchyme?
intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification
How is bone made by intramembranous ossification, examples?
The mesenchyme is in the shape of the bone it wants to become and then becomes it (flat bones parietal, frontal, face bones)
How is bone made by endochondral ossification, examples?
Mesenchyme forms hyaline cartilage in the shape of the bone and then forms the bone (Long bones (femur, humerus, pelivis, etc))
What cartilage precursor is used to form most of the bones in your body?
Hyaline cartilage: is a chondrification center which goes to prechondrocytes, to chondroblasts, to chondrocytes (later)
What are the two components of the sclerotome when forming the vertebral column, as well as other players?
Caudal dense part (lower hlaf) Cephalic losse part (upper half) each set of losse/dense parts have a myotome to form the muscles, as well as dermotome, and surface ectoderm
What occurs to form the beginning of the vertebral column?
The cephalic loose sclerotome will migrate up to meet with caudal dense, and caudal dense will migrate down to meet with loose.
After fusing dense and loose sclerotome, what happens to the myotome?
It migrates and connects the upper vertebrae and lower vertebrae, instead of muscle on one bone
How do nerves get made during the formation of the vertebral column?
The spinal cord connects to the muscle to form the nerves/ motor neurons (week 3/4!)
Where are the intersegmental arteries located after the formation of the vertebral cloumn?
They are on the sides of the vertebrae
