Embryo - Development of the Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
This part of the skull is developed from neural crest cells
Viscerocranium
This part of the skull is developed from paraxial mesoderm
Neurocranium
The bones of the face are derived from this
Neural crest cells
The bones encasing the brain are derived from these
Paraxial mesoderm & neural crest cells
The viscerocranium is formed by this type of ossification
Intramembraneous
The neurocranium is formed by these types of ossification
Intramembraneous and Endochondral
The chondrocranium includes these areas of the brain
Sphenoid
Petrous portion of the temporal bone
The chondrocranium is formed by this type of ossification
Endochondral
Enlarged membraneous spaces where more than one bones meet in infants
Fontanelles
Premature closure of the sutures in infants
Craniosynostosis
Premature closure of the saggital suture
Scaphocephaly
Premature closure of the coronal suture
Brachycephaly
Most of the axial skeleton is formed from this
Paraxial mesoderm
Each sclerotome segment of the vertebrae has these 2 portions
Dense caudal portion
Less dense caudial portion
The dense caudal portiono the vertebrae forms this
Annulus fibrosis of intervertebral discs
These fuse together to get one vertebrae
Less dense portion (top) Dense portion (bottom)
This degenerates to form the Nucleus pulposus
Notochord
These grow out as lateral extensions of the costal processes of thoracic vertebrae
Ribs
This forms where costal processes meet the vertebrae
Synovial joints
The sternum is induced to form by ribs at the ventral midline from this
Lateral plate somatic mesoderm
Occipital somites form a portion of this
Neurocranium
The appendicular skeleton differentiates from mesenchyme from here
Lateral Plate Somatic mesoderm
Disturbance of endochondral ossification durng fetal life at the epiphyseal cartilage plates, makeing them shorter than usual
Acondroplasia
Skeletal muscle is derived from this
Paraxial mesoderm
