short neck. genetic maybe

38
Q

Pectus excavatum

A

39
Q

Pectus carinatum

A

anterior thoracic wall protrudes outward due to malformation of sternum and ribs

40
Q

Where does skel mm arise from

A

paraxial mesoderm (somites)

41
Q

Where does smooth m arise from

A

splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm

42
Q

where does cardiac m arise from

A

specialized region of the splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm

43
Q

Describe skel m formation

A
mytome splits into dorsal and ventral portions
epimere(dorsal) gives rise to intrinsic back mm
ventral part (hypomere) forms anterior and lateral neck musculature, trunk mm and limbs
44
Q

What mm utilize tangential splitting of myotomes

A

abdominal obliques and intercostal musculature

45
Q

what mm derive from myotomes splitting longitudinally

A

trapezius and sternocleidomastoid

46
Q

what lineage do myoblasts arise from

A

mesoderm cells

47
Q

what forms the muscle fiber

A

when myoblasts elongate and fuse to form myotubes and then contractile elements appear in cytoplasm of myotube

Upper day 26 or 27 form opposite lower cervical and upper thoracic segments
Lower day 27 or 28 from opposite lumbar and upper sacral segments

51
Q

What is the apical ectodermal ridge

A

ectodermal thickening at the apex of the limb buds

52
Q

What is the role of the AER

A

induces continued proliferation of distal limb bud mesenchyme

53
Q

Proximal mesenchymal cells on a limb bud differentiate into what?

A

chondroblasts (cartilage cells)

54
Q

What happens to the limb buds at week 5
