Q

muscle differentiation: pathway

A
  • myoblasts migrate to muscle location
  • fuse to form myotubules - begin to express contractile proteins - formation of sarcomeres leads to maturation in myofibrils

Q

development of muscles: myotome somite divides into

A
  • dorsal (epiaxial) division

- ventral (hypaxial) division

20
Q

development of muscles: genes

A
  • MyoD
  • Myf5
  • initiate and regulate muscle development
21
Q

development of vertebral column: genes

A
  • Pax-1

- regulates development

22
Q

what muscles arise: epaxial division

A
  • extensors of neck/ vertebral column

intrinsic

  • superficial (splenius)
  • intermediate (erector spinae)
  • deep (transversospinalis)

sacral/ coccygeal region:
- myotomes form sacrococcygeal lig

23
Q

what muscles arise: hypaxial division- cervical region

A
  • scalenes
  • longus capitis
  • longus colli
24
Q

what muscles arise: hypaxial division- thoracic region

A
  • intercostals
  • transversus thoracis
  • subcostals
  • diaphragm
25
Q

what muscles arise: hypaxial division- abdomino-pelvic region

A
  • internal/ ext obliques
  • transversus abdominus
  • psoas
  • quadratus lumborum
  • obturator ext/ int
26
Q

what nerves supply: epaxial division

A
  • posterior rami of spinal nerves
27
Q

what nerves arise: hypaxial division

A
  • anterior rami of spinal nerves
28
Q

vertebra T10 corresponds to which spinal cord segments:

A

L1, L2

29
Q

vertebra T11 corresponds to which spinal cord segments:

A

L3, L4

30
Q

vertebra L1 corresponds to which spinal cord segments:

A

sacral and coccygeal cord segments

31
Q

list 3 main developmental abnormalities:

A
  • variation in no. of vertebrae
  • variation in normal architecture of vertebra
  • tumours of embryological remnants
32
Q

eg. brevicollis

A
  • short neck
  • low hairline
  • restricted head movements
  • from undeveloped vertebral body/ defect in vertebral segmentation
33
Q

eg. accessory rib

A
  • in lumbar/ cervical region
  • if cervical, could present some neurovascular symptoms (numbness of upper limb)
  • extra rib
34
Q

anomalies of ribs: eg.

A
  • pliable ribs
  • pectus excavatum (sunk in ribcage)
  • pectus carinatum (pigeon chest)
35
Q

eg. sacralisation of L5:

A
  • L5 incorporated into sacrum

- back pain

36
Q

eg. lumbarisation of S1

A
  • S1 separated,

- not many symptoms

37
Q

eg. hemivertebra

A
  • failure of one chondrification centre
  • failure of half vertebra undeveloped
  • hemivertebra (wedge)
  • butterfly (2 hemivertebra)
  • changes posture, scoliosis
38
Q

eg. block vertebra:

A
  • failure of segmentation of two or more vertebrae
39
Q

distortion: scoliosis eg.

A
  • spinous process deviated to one side
  • rib pushed posteriorly, thoracic cage narrowed
  • other rib laterally and anteriorly
40
Q

eg. kyphosis

A
  • anteriorly
  • failure of formation of v. body,
  • failure of segmentation
  • spinal osteoporosis (elderly)
41
Q

eg. schmorl’s node

A
  • protrusion of cartilage of IV disc

- through vertebral body endplate into adjacent vertebra

42
Q

eg. spina bifida oculta

A
  • vertebral arches must fuse completely
  • lamina of L5/ S1 fail to develop and fuse normally
  • everything normal
  • extra hair
  • asympotomatic
43
Q

eg. spina bifida cystica

A
  • 1+ vertebral arches fail to develop
  • protrude out of lumbar region

meningocele:
- herniation of meninges (only space, but everything ok)

meningomyelocele:
- herniation of meninges and spinal cord

44
Q

eg. spina bifida cystica symptoms

A
  • severe meningomyelocele
  • paralysis of limbs
  • loss of bladder control
  • loss of bowel control
  • recurrent CNS infections
45
Q

can you prevent spina bifida?

A

prenatal screening:

  • ultrasound
  • aminocentesis
  • blood test

prevent:
- folic acid supplements

46
Q

eg. teratoma

A
  • benign tumour
  • from primitive streak
  • develops from independent cells from any of 3 embryonic germ layers
  • any type of tissue (bone, hair, skin, muscle)
47
Q

eg. chordoma

A
  • from persistent notochord
  • slow growing malignant tumour
  • common at base skull
  • difficult to remove-> infiltrates bone
  • once detected, too late
  • can develop in lumbosacral region
