31
Q

The upper limb appears first, at day 24, followed by the hind limb at

A

Day 28

32
Q

Occurs between the fifth and eighth weeks and

involves growth, induction, apoptosis, and patterning, as described below

A

Differentiation of the limb buds

33
Q

Surface ectoderm cells overlying the distal border of

the limb thickens into an

A

Apical ectodermal ridge (AER)

34
Q

Acts as a signaling center that induces nearby mesenchyme (through FGF secretion) to proliferate rapidly without differentiating to maintain distal outgrowth of limb mesenchyme

A

The AER

35
Q

The area of mesenchyme proliferation and elongation is called the

A

Progress zone

36
Q

As the limb elongates, the AER moves distally. This distal movement allows the proximal portions of the limb to

A

Differentiate and develop into cartilage and bone

37
Q

As the limb grows, cells near the proximal end are exposed to retinoic acid that causes them to differentiate into

A

Proximal bones

38
Q

Digits begin formation at the DISTAL end when apoptosis occurs in the

A

AER

39
Q

Final separation by apoptosis occurs between the webbing or rays in the interdigital spaces to form

A

Digits

40
Q

The fusion of two or more digits that may result from incomplete apoptosis between digits

A

Syndactyly

41
Q

Responsible for the differences in the structure of digits so that there is a “pinky side” and a “thumb side”

A

Zone of polarizing activity (ZPA)

42
Q

Communicates with the ZPA, which is a cluster of mesenchymal cells that secrete SHH to induce differentiation of anterior-posterior patterning of digits

A

The AER

43
Q

Dorsalizing factors that interact with ventralizing factors (such as engrailed-1) to establish the dorso-ventral axis of the limb

A

WNT7 and LMX1

44
Q

WNT7 and LMX1 lead to a limb with an

A

Extensor muscle side and a flexor muscle side

45
Q

Disruption of the proximal-distal development of the limbs results from loss of

A

FGF signaling

46
Q

Disruption of the proximal-distal development of the limbs can result in

A

Amelia (lack of limb), Meromelia (partial lack of limb), and adactylyl (absense of digits)

47
Q

Polydactyly (extra digits) and syndactylyl (fusion of digits) may be the result of

A

BMP or SHH disregulation or disruption

48
Q

At 7 weeks, what happens to the limbs?

A

They rotate

49
Q

Most cartilage templates of limb bones form between

A

5 and 12 weeks

50
Q

Ossification of proximal bones in the upper limb begins in the

A

7th week

51
Q

Ossification of proximal bones in the lower limb begins in the

A

8th week

52
Q

Most bones show ossification by the 12th week, although ischium and pubis not until the

A

15th and 20th weeks

53
Q

Smaller tarsal and carpal bones are not ossified until

A

Childhood

54
Q

As the AER advances distally with mesenchymal cell proliferation, proximal mesenchymal cells differentiate into

A

Chondroblasts (during week 6)

55
Q

Bone is vascular and replaces the avascular cartilage, which has a size limit due to reliance on

A

Diffusion through matrix for nutrients/waste exchange

56
Q

Cartilage calcification in the diaphysis (shaft) of long bones results in poor oxygen diffusion through the

A

Avascular cartilage

57
Q

As a result, the cartilaghe breaks down and is removed by

A

Osteoclasts

58
Q

Blood vessels invade the diaphysis and are accompanied by

A

Osteoblasts

59
Q

As cartilage is removed by osteoclasts, osteoblasts secrete bone matrix to form the

-occurs during prenatal development

A

Primary ossification center

60
Q

Primary ossification centers are formed during prenatal development and are present in all long bones of limbs by the

A

12th week of development

61
Q

At birth, diaphyses of bones are completely ossified, but the ends, the epiphyses, are still

A

Hyaline cartilage

62
Q

Primary and secondary ossification centers form on either side of a cartilaginous

A

Epiphyseal growth plate

63
Q

The growth plate is made of hyaline cartilage that has chondrocytes that can proliferate in response to

A

Growth hormone from adenohypohpysis

64
Q

Located at the growth plate retain the ability to divide when stimulated by growth factors in order to increase length of long bones

A

Chondrocytes

65
Q

Once growth is completed into adulthood (20-25 years of age), the original primary and secondary ossification centers will meet as bone fills in the growth plates to
form the

A

Epiphyseal line (and bone lengthening stops)

66
Q

The most common form of skeletal dysplasia (1/20,000 live births) and primarily affects long bones

A

Achondroplasia

67
Q

A gene associated with achondroplasia is

A

FGFR3

68
Q

One of the results of achondroplasia is shortened extremities due to reduced chondrocyte proliferation at

A

Growth plates
