MUSCULO-SKELETAL SYSTEM - Start Of 2nd Quarter Flashcards
One of the projecting paired appendages in an animal body specifically for movement and grasping but sometimes sensory or sexual organs.
LIMBS REGION
It segregate initially into an extensor mass and a flexor mass
Myotomes
Myotomes segregate initially into an extensor mass and a flexor mass and those masses will subsequently subdivide into an?
extensor muscle and flexor muscle
They arise from the local somatic mesoderm of the limb bud.
Bone, cartilage, and connective tissues
condenses from local mesenchyme
Cartilage
from dermatome migration into the limb bud
Dermis
grow outward from body wall somatopleure as limb buds
Limbs
Limbs – grow outward from body wall somatopleure as?
limb buds
begins as a limb field (area of somatopleure committed to form a limb)
Limb buds
What induced to form underlying mesoderm that makes the mesoderm to continue growing into a limb. (the shoulder/hip appears first, the manus/pes is the last to be added).
Simplified definition: What is a special structure on the surface of a developing limb (like an arm or leg) in an embryo. Its job is to send signals to the underlying mesoderm (a layer of cells beneath it), telling it to keep growing and forming the limb.
Apical ridge
the distal end of the limb bud (footplate) is flattened like a paddle & ectoderm along its outer margin forms a thickened?
apical ridge
It consist of:
- Elongation of a dorsoventrally flattened limb bud
- Ventroflexion of the distal half of the limb (ventral now faces medially)
- Pronation of the distal half (previous medial surface now becomes caudal)
Limb growth
inherited, systemic, premature ossification of physes of extremities.
Simplified definition:
It is a genetic condition that affects bone growth. In people or animals with this condition, the bones in the arms and legs don’t grow properly because the areas where the bones grow (called growth plates or physes) turn to bone too early. This causes shorter limbs and a shorter stature overall. It is inherited, meaning it is passed down from parents to their offspring. It’s often seen in certain dog breeds, like Dachshunds, who may have similar bone growth issues.
Achondroplasia
can result from malformed joints, denervation, abnormal muscle tension, or impaired mobility in utero.
Arthrogryposis
syndactyly (fused digits); brachydactyly (stumpy digits) [Gr. dactylos = digit]
Polydactyly (extra digits)
meromelia (absence of part of limb); micromelia (small limb) [Gr. melos = limb]
Amelia (no limb)
absence of proximal segment(s) of limb was a consequence of pregnant women taking thalidomide in the late 1950s.
phocomelia (seal limb)
consists of a cranium (which contains the brain within a cranial cavity) and a face
