16
Q

Where does limb muscle come from?

A

Hypomere region adjacent to upper and lower limb buds

17
Q

Posterior condensation forms what?

A

Extensors and supinators

18
Q

Anterior condensation forms what?

A

Flexors and pronators

19
Q

When does limb rotation happen?

A

6-8 weeks

20
Q

Upper libs rotate how?

A

90 degrees laterally

21
Q

What does the rotation of limbs do that is important to dermotomes?

A

Spiral around limbs

22
Q

What does the lateral mesoderm secrete to control growth?

A

FGF10

23
Q

What does FGF10 induce?

A

Thickening of ectoderm apical ectoderm ridge

24
Q

What does the AER express?

A

FGF 4 & 8

25
Q

The rapid proliferation of the mesenchymal cells is called what?

A

Progress zone

26
Q

Dorsal ectoderm expresses?

A

Wnt7

27
Q

Ventral ectoderm expresses what?

A

Engrailed - 1

28
Q

What does engrailed 1 do?

A

Inhibits Wnt7

29
Q

Where is craniocaudal axis determined?

A

Zone of polarising activity

30
Q

What is expressed at the zone of polarising activity?

A

Sonic hedgehod

31
Q

Which direction does Sonic hedgehog move?

A

Caudally

32
Q

High concentration of sonic hedgehog does what?

A

Induces causdal sructures (little finger low concentration = cranial eg thumb

33
Q

Which week do limb buds flatten?

A

week 6

34
Q

What is amelia?

A

Absence of a limb loss of Fgf

35
Q

What is Meromelia?

A

Partial absence of a limb

36
Q

What is phocomelia?

A

flipper limb

37
Q

What is ectrodactyly?

A

Split hand and foot lobster claw
