Limbs 1 Flashcards
pre axial border
thumb line/ big toe
post axial border
pinky line/ pinky toe
development of the mammalian upper limb
- Lateral rotation
- Thumb faces the back (dorsum)
§ Dorsal muscles behind/ventral muscles in front- Adduction
- Brings the limb under the trunk
§ Dorsal muscles remain behind the limb
- Brings the limb under the trunk
- Extension
- Stand on hindlimb, so upper limbs hangs at side
- Anatomical position - undoes the final mammalian rotation
`
- Adduction
primitive dorsal evevators of the upper fin become
extensors of the limb
primitive ventral depressors of the upper fin become
flexors of the limb
mammalian hind limb rotations
- Medial rotation - opposite to forelimb
- The big toe - hallux faces the belly side- Adduction - brings the limb under the body
- Dorsal muscles anterior
- Ventral muscles posterior
- Extension
- At the hip to be in line with the upright trunk
§ We are not born this way
- At the hip to be in line with the upright trunk
- Adduction - brings the limb under the body
primitive Dorsal elevators of hind fin become
anterior flexors and lateral abductors of the hip
primitive Ventral depressors of fin become
posterior extensors and medial adductors of the hip
dorsal muscles in upper limb attach to
true scapula or vertebral column
ventral muscles in. the upper limb attach to
coracoid process, supreglenoid tubercle, clavicle, ribs or sternum
dorsal muscles of the hind limb attach to
sacrum or ilium
ventral muscles of the hind limb attach to
pubis or ischium
the limb is an extension of
somatopleure/body wall
somatopleure develops into
everything in the limb except for the skeletal muscle
3 components of somites
sclerotome, myotome, dermatome
dermatomes and myotomes exist as
dermamyotomes - fused
dermamyotomes split in half
epimere (dorsal) and hypomere (ventral)
epimere forms the
dorsal half
dermis and muscle
hypomere forms the
ventral half
only gives muscle
dermatomes meaning in adults
- Area of skin and muscle supplied by segmented spinal nerves
migration of myotomes
§ A segmented spinal nerve will adhere to a myotome and migrate with it
§ To do with innervation, not dermis
dorsal compartments house
extensors
ventral compartments house
flexors
