short neck because of the absence or fusion of cervical vertebra

at craniovertebral junction
1% of new borns

36
Q

how do limb buds appear

A

as outpocketings from ventrolateral body wall

37
Q

limb buds consist of

A

core of mesenchyme surrounded by surface ectoderm

38
Q

upper limb buds appear by day

A

day 26

39
Q

lower limb buds appear by day

A

day 28

40
Q

mesenchyme is

A

somatic layer of lateral plate mesoderm

41
Q

mesenchyme contributes to

A
bones
tendons
ligaments
cartilage
fascia
joints
vessels
dermis
42
Q

homeobox (hox) gene does

A

regulates axes and patterning

43
Q

AER is essential for

A

the proximal-distal axis of limbs

44
Q

AER stands for

A

apical ectodermal ridge

45
Q

what forms AER

A

apex of each limb bud thickens to form, mutilayered

46
Q

AER induces

A

proliferation of underlying mesenchyme

47
Q

AER causes which mesenchyme to remain undifferentiated

A

adjacent mesenchyme

48
Q

ZPA is responsible for

A

patterning of the anterior-posterior axis of limbs

49
Q

how does ZPA form

A

mesenchymal cells aggregate at the posterior margin of the limb bud forming a zone of polarized activity

50
Q

retinoic acid

A

should not be taken during pregnancy. can cause duplication of limbs

normally cells in ZPA release it already

51
Q

hand and foot pads form

A

distal ends of the limb buds flatten

52
Q

what does mesenchyme do in hands and feet

A

mesenchyme condenses to form digital rays by 6th week for hands and 7th weeks for feet

53
Q

what causes formation of separate digits

A

apoptosis between digits

each finger still has AER to continue distal growth

54
Q

when does mesenchyme form cartilaginous models of the limb

A

6th week

mesenchyme to chondrocytes to cartilage

55
Q

when doe endochondral ossification begin to form limb bones from lateral plate mesoderm

A

8th week

56
Q

by what week have all bones form

A

12th week

57
Q

when does secondary ossification center form

A

at birth

58
Q

how do limbs rotate to each anatomical position

A

upper limbs rotate laterally through 90

lower limbs rotate medially almost 90

59
Q

how does dermatome start

A

segmentally then changes

60
Q

initial blood supply to upper limb

A

dorsal intersegmental arteries from aorta

61
Q

primordial vascular pattern consists of

A

primary axial arteries

62
Q

what does the axial artery become

A

brachial and then common interosseous

63
Q

what are the secondary branches from the brachial

A

64
Q

which artery degenerates

A
