Embryology; Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
The skeletal system originates from ______ and _____ ____ cells, which revert to a _______ state
mesoderm
neural crest
mesenchymal
The mesenchymal cells will differentiate into ________ or _______ to eventually form bone
osteoblasts
chondroblasts
The ________ model of ossification begins with mesenchyme —> chondroblasts —-> cartilage —–> bone
endochondral
The _______ model of ossification beings with mesenchymal cells —–> osteoblasts ——> bone
intramembranous
True or False
The endochondral method of ossification ultimately forms the facial bones (viscerocranium), and some flat bones of skull
False; the endochondral method forms most bones; limbs and base of skull (chondrocranium)
The intramembraneous method forms the facial bones and flat skull bones
The formation of joints appears at week _____, as condensed mesenchyme appears in _____ ______
6
joint interzones
Name the three types of joints
fibrous (sutures)
cartilaginous (costochondral joints)
synovial (knee)
The _____ _____ is the space between bones that will become the joint
joint interzone
_____ _____ forms the majority of the axial skeleton (except for the sternum and a portion of the skull) and the somites (which form at day 23)
Paraxial mesoderm (sclerotome)
Each somite differentiates into a ________, _______, and ______
dermatome
myotome (muscle)
sclerotome
Sclerotome cells surround the _____ _____ and _____
neural tube
notochord
Each sclerotome segment (forming vertebrae) has a less dense portion _____ and a dense portion _____
cranially
caudally
Sclerotomes undergo ________; some of the dense portion forms ______ ______ of intervertebral discs, remaining dense portion fuses with less dense portion of sclerotome immediately inferior to form the ______ ______
resegmentation
annulus fibrosus
vertebral body
The _____ ______ _____ break through the sclerotomes from the neural tube and separates the dense from not dense portion and giving rise to the _______ ____
cervical spinal nerves
intervertebral discs
There are ____ cervical sclerotomes which give rise to _____ cervical vertebrae and ______ cervical spinal pairs
8
7
8
True of False
The cranial and caudal portions of adjacent sclerotomes fuse to form each vertebral body
True; the caudal portion of one fuses with the cranial portion of another
_______ are formed from sclerotome of paraxial mesoderm. Grow out as lateral extensions of _______ _______ developing from thoracic vertebrae and wrap around anteriorly
Ribs
costal processes
_____ _____ form where costal process meets vertebrae (due to apoptosis of cells)
synovial joints
_______ is induced to form by ribs at ventral midline from _____ _____ _____ ______
sternum
lateral plate somatic mesoderm
True or False
The sternum forms as one unit
False; the sternum develops as two bars that will fuse cranially to caudally
True or False
The sternum is formed during the 10th week
True
The primary curvatures of the spine are the ______ and _______, and they develop duing the _____ period
thoracic
sacral
fetal
The secondary curvatures of the sone are the _____ and ______, and they develop ____ ____
cervical
lumbar
after birth
The ________ is mostly formed from the neural crest of the first _____ pharyngeal arches, and is formed by __________ ossification
viscerocranium
two
intramembranous
