Q

Endochondral ossification mesenchyme cell differentiation

A

Into chondroblasts that produce a cartilage model

29
Q

Endochondral ossification cartilage

A

Becomes vascularized and is replaced by bone matrix

30
Q

Endochondral ossification remaining cartilage

A

Found at surface of epiphysis as articular cartilage, then between epiphysis and diaphysis as the epiphyseal plate

31
Q

Epiphyseal plate role

A

Regulates the growth in length of long bones

32
Q

Epiphyseal plate proliferation

A

Occurs at the epiphyseal side of plate, replacement by bone is on the diaphyseal side

33
Q

Epiphyseal plate bone growth duration

A

As long as the rate of cell division is equal to that of cell death and ossification, typically until the 20th year of life

34
Q

Somitomeres

A

Segments of paraxial mesoderm

35
Q

Somitomere mesoderm contributions

A

36
Q

Somites

A

Differentiate into sclerotome, myotome, and dermatome

37
Q

Sclerotome

A

Axial skeleton, formed by cells of the ventral and medial wall of somite that lose epithelial arrangement and migrate towards the notochord

38
Q

Dermomyotome

A

Remaining cells following sclerotome migration, will turn into dermatome and myotome

58
Q

Weeks 4-5

A

Most susceptible to teratogen induced limb malformations

59
Q

Three categories of human limb defects

A

Reduction defects, duplication defects, and dysplasia

60
Q

Reduction defect definition

A

Part of (meromelia) or entire limb (amelia) is missing, phocomelia is a type where hands of feet project directly from shoulder or hip

61
Q

Reduction defect example

A

Thalidomide (a teratogen) causes meromelia (at 5 weeks) and amelia (at 4 weeks)

62
Q

Critical period of limb development

A

24-36 days

63
Q

Reduction defect thalidomide mechanism

A

Disruption of the AER

64

Extra limb elements are present (polydactyly)

65
Q

Duplication defect mechanism

A

Duplication of the ZPA

66
Q

Dysplasia definition

A

Malformation of part of the limb (syndactyly)

67
Q

Dysplasia mechanism

A

AER doesn’t break down between digits, so apoptosis doesn’t occur normally when forming digits

68
Q

Syndactyly

A

Abnormal fusion of digits due to reduced apoptosis
