39
Q

sternal clefts are d/t

> concave = precuts cranium

40
Q

A

paraxial mesoderm&raquo_space; myotome tissue of the somites

41
Q

visceral smooth muscle is derived from

A

splanchnic mesoderm

42
Q

vascular smooth muscle is derived from

A

local mesoderm and neural crest ectomesenchyme

43
Q

cardiac muscle is derived from

A

splanchnic mesoderm of heart fields

44
Q

describe the formation of the dermomyotome

A

under the influence of Wnt from the surface ectoderm, the dorsal half of the somite remains an epithelium and is call the DM

45
Q

Wnt and Shh influence the cells of the medial DM to do what?

what happens to the lateral cells?

A

EMT and migrate beneath the remaining epithelial cells of the DM
The lateral DM is influenced by bmp, undergoes EMT as well and migrates underneath the DM epithelium
all these mesenchymal cells become myogenic cells

46
Q

what do myogenic cells express?

A

Myogenic regulatory factors Myf5 and MyoD

47
Q

what is the lateral somite frontier?

A

between the paraxial and lateral mesoderms
> an interface created by the opposing gradients of signaling molecules from the lateral mesoderm and the dorsal neural tube

48
Q

what is on either side of lateral somite frontier?

A 
medial = primaxial domaine >> intrinsic back muscles
latera = abaxial domaine >> adominals, intercostals, distal limb muscles, all LL muscles

Q

once myogenic cells proliferate and migrate, they are called _____ and are post-mitotic
