Developments Flashcards
4th Week - Limb buds become visible as outpocketings from the
ventrolateral body wall
Forelimb first, hind limb-1-2 days later.
T
During 7th week of gestation upper limb rotates——— placing the extensor muscles on lateral and posterior surface, thumbs lie laterally.
90o laterally
Lower limb rotates————–placing the extensor muscles on———- surface and big toe medially. •
90o medially
anterior
Initially limb bud consists of————— derived from——————- mesoderm
mesenchymal core
parietal (somatic) layer of the lateral plate
Bones and connective tissue develop of this mesenchymal tissue. From
parietal (somatic) layer of the lateral plate mesoderm
Three components of the limbs-
Styopod
Zeugopod
autopod
Ectoderm covering the limb bud at the distal border of the limb thickens to form
apical ectodermal ridge(AER)
AER exerts inductive influence on adjacent mesenchyme causing it to remain
→
undifferentiated-Undifferentiated zone
Fingers and toes develop when
cell death in apical ectodermal ridge (AER) separates
this ridge into five parts.
Mesenchymal tissue in the limb buds begin
to condense and these cells differentiate into
chondrocytes.
Joints are formed in the cartilaginous
condensations when
chondrogenesis is arrested and a joint interzone is induced.
Joint cavity is formed by
cell death
Cells surrounding the joint differentiate into
Joint capsule
Mesenchymal bone-
Condensation of mesenchymal tissue in the limb buds- 5th week
hyaline cartilaginous bone-
Chrondrification of mesenchymal bone model to form hyaline cartilaginous bone- 6th week
Endochondral ossification -begins at
t the end of embryonic period (8th week)
Primary center of ossification in all long bones appear by ——week (They form the——)
12th
diaphysis of the
bone
Secondary centers of ossification begin to appear at
the ends of the long bones after birth. They form
the epiphyses of the bone.
Epiphyseal plate (growth plate) -
cartilaginous plate between diaphysis and epiphysis
When the bone acquired its full length, the ————- disappear, and epiphyses unites with
shaft (diaphysis) of the bone.
epiphyseal plates
small-long bones (phalanges)- epiphyseal plate
only at one end.
Normally the distal end of the bone
Irregular bone-
One or more primary centers of ossification and usually several secondary centers.
