Embryology 5 - Development of Bone and Muscle Flashcards
What does the mesoderm give rise to?
Most of bones and muscles
Where does the mesoderm emerge from?
Primitive streak
What four things does the mesoderm further divide into?
- Notochord
- Somite (paraxial mesoderm)
- intermediate mesoderm (IM)
- lateral plate mesoderm (LPM)
____ form segmented blocks next to the neural tube.
Somites
What are the three layers of somite?
Dermatome
Myotome
Sclerotome
What structure does the dermatome form?
Dermis of skin
What structure(s) do the myotome form?
Skeletal muscles
What structure(s) do the sclerotome form?
Vertebrae, ribs
Where does the sclerotome develop and what does it eventually form?
Surrounds neural tube and forms vertebra
Where is the sternum derived from?
Lateral plate mesoderm
How many somite pairs have formed at day 20 of development?
1 (at occipital level)
How many somite pairs have formed at day 22 of development?
7-10 pairs
How many somite pairs have formed at day 24 of development?
13-17
How many somite pairs have formed during the 5th week of development?
42-44 (some occipital and coccygeal somite pairs later disappear)
What controls somite segmentation?
cyclic NOTCH signaling
A new somite pair appears every __ hours.
8
What is DELTA protein?
Surface protein on the signal-sending cell that binds to NOTCH protein on neighboring cell to activate NOTCH signaling
