MS devo Flashcards
What does paraxial mesoderm form in skeletal development?
vertebral columns, ribs, neurocranium
What does lateral plate mesoderm form in skeletal development?
pectoral girdle, limbs, sternum
What do neural crest cells form in skeletal development?
viscerocranium (bones on the front of your face), hyoid bone
Why do bones form through intramembranous ossification?
more rapid formation in areas urgently needed by fetus
ex: mandible, need for sucking on boobs
What makes up the axial skeleton?
vertebrae
ribs
sternum
skull
What makes up the appendicular skeleton?
pectoral girdle
pelvic girdle
limb bones
What does the viscerocranium (anterolateral facial bones) form from?
neural crest cells
What does the neurocranium form from?
paraxial mesoderm
occipital somites
What makes up the chondrocranium and how is it formed?
base of the skull (sphenoid, petrous temporal, portion of occipital)
form by endochondral ossification
What is the membranous neurocranium and how is it formed?
everything except the chondrocranium
form by intramembranous ossification
At what age do your skull sutures fuse?
5-7 yrs
What are the different fontanelles?
fontanelles: enlarged membranous spaces where more than 2 bones form
anterior fontanelle (largest on top of head)
anterolateral/sphenoidal fontanelle
posteriorlateral/mastoid fontanelle
posterior fontanelle
What is craniosynostosis?
premature closure of sutures
What happens if your saggital suture closes too early?
You have scaphocephaly.
your head is really long and skinny (like your face gets squished on either side
What happens if you coronal suture closes too early?
You have brachycephaly.
your head looks like a really wide and ugly football
In relation to the axial skeleton, what is NOT formed by paraxial mesoderm?
sternum
part of the skull
In relation to axial skeleton formation, what structures are derived from paraxial mesoderm?
vertebrae
annulus fibrosis of intervertebral discs
ribs
neurocranium
When do vertebrae start to develop?
4th week: sclerotome cells surround neural tube and notochord
What happens during vertebral resegmentation?
sclerotomes are devided in half: a less dense cranial portion, and a more dense caudal portion.
resegmentation: a cranial (less dense) and a caudal (more dense) segment FROM NEIGHBORING SCLEROTOMES meet up and join
What forms the annulus fibrosus of IV discs?
Dense (caudal) portion of sclerotome
