Q

What two structures do myotomes split into?

A

Dorsal epimere and ventral hypomere

17
Q

Dorsal epimere

A

Muscles of the main body axis, neck extensor muscles, vertebral/deep back muscles

18
Q

Ventral hypomere

A

Cervical/ thoracic/ intercostal/ sacrococcygeal/lumbar myotomes, limb musculature

19
Q

What do superficial dermomyotomes develop into?

A

Dermis of the neck and trunk

20
Q

Hemivertebra

A

Only half of the vertebrae form resulting in scoliosis

21
Q

Spina bifida

A

Imperfect fusion of the vertebral arches

22
Q

Spina bifida occult

A

Lumbar arch is not fully formed, tuff of overlaying hair is a typical finding

23
Q

Spina bifida cystic

A

Neural tube fails to close, resulting in cord and/ or meninges protruding
