Human Development #4 Flashcards
Summarize what occurs in week 4 of development.
Organization of mesoderm and body folding to create 3-d body plan
What are the 2 types of tissue that can make up the mesoderm?
May be epithelial or mesenchymal
What are the regional groupings of mesoderm?
Paraxial mesoderm, intermediate mesoderm, lateral plate mesoderm
Describe the locational development of mesoderm regional groupings
Cephalo-caudal development (begins at cranial end)
What is initial step involving paraxial mesoderm in mesoderm development
Paraxisal mesoderm begins forming segmentations.
Somitomeres → cephalic somitomeres
Partially segmented structures formed at cranial end of paraxiae mesoderms
What does the more caudal paraxial mesoderm form after completely segmenting?
Occipital somites
What is the most caudal structure to form from paraxial mesoderm?
Trunk somites, caudal to occipital somites
How many cephalic somitomeres form?
7
How many somites (occipital + trunk) form?
42-44
_____ stimulate the formations of spinal nerves?
Somites
Somites disperse to form _____ and _______
Sclerotomes and dermamyotomes
Sclerotome
Form axial skeleton
Myotome
Forms skeletal muscle
Dermatome
Forms endothelial cells of vessels + dermis
Dermateme
Forms endothelial cells of vessels + dermis
