Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
Appendicular Skeleton
Pectoral girdle
Pelvic girdle
Limb bones
Axial Skeleton
Vertebrae
Ribs
Sternum
Skull
Mesoderm
Dev to Paraxial mesoderm (somites)
Lateral plate somatic mesoderm
origin for musculoskeletal system
Neural crest cells
Another origin for musculoskeletal system
Paraxial mesoderm –>
Mesenchyme –> Vertebral column, ribs, & neurocranium
Lateral plate mesoderm –>
Mesenchyme –> Pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, limbs, & sternum
Neural crest cells–>
Mesenchyme–> Viscerocranium & hyoid bone
Sclerotome
forms all of the axial skeleton except:
Sternum & a portion of the skull
Paraxial Mesoderm Derivatives
Vertebrae
Annulus fibrosus of intervertebral discs
Ribs
Neurocranium
Vertebrae Development - 4th week
4th week: sclerotome cells surround neural tube & notochord
Each sclerotome segment has
Less dense cranial portion
Dense caudal portion
Dense portion (sclerotome
Annulus fibrosus of IV discs
Fuses with less dense portion of sclerotome immediately inferior to form the vertebral body
Sclerotomes Undergo Resegmentation
6th week: chondrification occurs
Ossification: Begins 7th week 3-5 years: vertebral arch halves fuse 3-6 years: vertebral arch fuses with body ~25 years: ossification complete
Dev of Annulus Fibrosus of IV Discs
Sclerotome–>
intersegmental mesenchyme –>annulus fibrosus
Rib dev.
Grow out as lateral extensions of costal processes developing from thoracic vertebrae & wrap around anteriorly
Synovial joint forms where costal process meets vertebra
Development of the Sternum
Induced to form by ribs at ventral midline from lateral plate somatic mesoderm
10th week:
Develops as two sternal bars that will fuse cranially to caudally
Later fuse to form manubrium, sternal body, and xiphoid process
Viscerocranium
anterolateral facial bones
Neurocranium
bones encasing the brain
Development of the Neurocranium
Occipital somites form a portion of the neurocranium
Cartilaginous Neurocranium
Base of skull
Sphenoid, petrous portion of temporal bone, portion of occipital bone
Form by endochondral ossification
All other parts of
Form by intramembranous
Membranous Neurocranium
Flat bones that surround the brain
Formed by intramembranous ossification
Fontanelles
Enlarged membranous spaces where more than 2 bones meet
Development of Appendicular Skeleton
Differentiates from mesenchyme of lateral plate somatic mesoderm
Endochondral Ossification
5th week: condensations of mesenchyme appear in limb buds
6th week: mesenchymal bone models undergo chondrification to form hyaline cartilage models
7th/8th week: ossification begins in long bones
Occurs initially in diaphysis from primary ossification centers
Skeletal muscle origin
Derived from paraxial mesoderm
