Development: trunk Flashcards
what week of development: gastrulation
third week
gastrulation: features
- embryo axial orientation
- bilaminar-> trilaminar disc:
- ectoderm
- mesoderm
- endoderm
primitive streak should disappear by what week?
- end of 4th week
- if not, benign tumour- sacrococcygeal teratoma
notochord: function
- basis of development of axial skeleton
- indicator for future sites of vertebral bodies
- induce thickening of ectoderm and formation of neural plate
development of neural tube:
- neural plate and neural crest - neural groove - neural tube with neural crest merged - crest becomes spiral ganglion
somites: formed by
- mesoderm and neural tube form columns of paraxial mesoderm
- segment into cube structures
somites differentiates into:
- myotome
- dermatome
- sclerotome
myotomes: contribute to
- development of skeletal muscles of neck, trunk and limbs
dermatomes: contribute to
connective tissue
- dermis of the skin
sclerotomes: contribute to
- vertebrae and ribs
development of vertebral column: 4th week
- each mesenchymal (sclerotome) segment (somite) differentiates into cephalic (less condensed) and caudal part (more condensed cells)
- notochord in middle (nucleus pulposus)
- sclerotome forms annulus fibrosus
synovial joint development: what week?
- 6th week
- by 8th week resemble adult joints
synovial joint development: how
- interzonal mesenchyme differentiate to form capsule and ligaments (peripheral)
- form joint capsule (centrally)
how does spinous and transverse processes develop?
- extensions of chondrification centres in vertebral arches
ossification of vertebra: begins
- during embryonic period, primary ossification centres
ossification of vertebra: at birth
- 3 bony parts connected by cartilage
- for growth of spinal cord
ossification of vertebra: secondary ossification centre
- after puberty
- unite at around 25yrs
muscle differentiation: pathway
- myoblasts migrate to muscle location
- fuse to form myotubules - begin to express contractile proteins - formation of sarcomeres leads to maturation in myofibrils
