16
Q

where does upper limb bud form

A

cervical region

17
Q

leg limb buds form from where

A

lumbar and thoracic regions

18
Q

when do motor neurons (from neural tube/neuroectoderm) enter the limb buds

A

5th week

19
Q

sensory axons follow motor neurons and are are from what

A

neural crest cells

20
Q

how does upper limbs rotate during week 7

A

laterally 90

21
Q

how do lower limbs rotate during week 7

A

medially 90

22
Q

derived from the primary axial artery

A

brachial artery and common interosseous (upper limb) or deep artery of thigh

23
Q

proximo distal growth and patterning

A

AER releases FGF 8 and 4 after mesoderm stimulates with FGF 10; regulation by HOX genes

24
Q

dorso ventral patterning

A

ventral surface maintained by BMPs and dorsal by Wnt7; these signal set up the AER

25
Q

anterior-posterior patterning

A

established by the ZPA (zone of polarizing activity); Shh and retinoic acid signaling from ZPA stimulates posterior elements (little finger, ulna, digits 3 and 4)

26
Q

loss of ZPA signaling

A

loss of posterior elements (no pinky)

27
Q

up regulation of ZPA

A

additional posterior elements; polydactyly
