General Embryology 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Subdivision of mesoderm
A
- Intraembryonic mesoderm proliferates between the ectoderm and endoderm
- 3 regions develop
2
Q
3 regions of mesoderm subdivision
A
- Paraaxial mesoderm
- Intermediate mesoderm
- Lateral mesoderm
3
Q
Paraaxial mesoderm
A
- Head mesenchyme
- Somites
4
Q
Intermediate mesoderm
A
- Urogenital organs
5
Q
Lateral Mesoderm
A
- Split by the formation of the intraembryonic coelom
- Somatic mesoderm (somatopleure)
- Splanchnic mesoderm (splanchnopleure)
6
Q
Somites
A
- Block-like condensations of paraxial mesoderm
- Form on the sides of the neural tube
7
Q
Somatogenesis
A
- Somite pairs begin formation on day 20
- Progresses in a cranial to caudal pattern
- 42-44 pairs form, most caudal disappear leaving 37 pairs
8
Q
First 4 pairs of somites
A
- Contribute to head
9
Q
8 pairs of somites
A
- Contribute to the cervical region
10
Q
12 pairs of somites
A
- Contribute to the thoracic region
11
Q
5 pairs of somites (two sets of 5)
A
- Contribute to the lumbar region
- Contribute to the sacral region
12
Q
3 pairs of somites
A
- Contribute to coccyx
13
Q
Somites subdivide into
A
- Sclerotome
- Dermamyotome
14
Q
Sclerotome forms
A
- Meninges
- Vertebrae
- Ribs
15
Q
Dermamyotome forms
A
- Dermis of the neck and back
- Muscle
16
Q
Dermamyotome differentiates into
A
- Dermatome
- Myotome
17
Q
Myotome splits into
A
- Epimere, located dorsally
- Hypomere, located ventrally
18
Q
Epimere gives rise to
A
- Epaxial muslces of the back
- Deep back muscles
19
Q
Hypomere gives rise to
A
- Hypaxial muscles
- Muscles of the abdominal and thoracic wall
- Limb muscles
20
Q
Lateral plate divides into
A
- Somatic mesoderm
- Splanchnic mesoderm
