Musculoskeletal System Development Flashcards
when does neuralation occur?
around day 19
what is the notochord?
signals surface ectoderm to differentate into the neural ectoderm (neural plate)
what happens at day 20?
the neural groove forms as lateral edges move
what happens at day 22-23
the neural groove fuses in cervical region
progresses cranial to caudal
what are the neuropores and when do they fuse?
ends of neural tube
day 25 - cranial closes
day 27 - caudal closes
what does the neural tube for?
brain and spinal cord
neural fold?
becomes the neural tube
neural crest?
pinched off as the neural tube forms
forms dorsal root ganglion
what gives rise to central nervous system?
neural tube cells
what gives rise to peripheral nervous system?
neural crest cells
the neural crest cells give rise to?
- sensory ganglia of cranial and spinal nerves
- autonomics (all peripheral S and PS ganglia, -sympathetic chain ganglia, prevertebral -sympathetic ganglia, PS ganglia)
- schwann cells
- meninges
what are the three layers of the neural tube?
ventricular, mantle, marginal zone
lumen > superficial**
ventricular zone
most inner layer
is the neuroepithelium
in adult - simple layer of ependymal cells
what gives rise to ependymal cells in adult
ventricular zone cells
what is the mantle zone?
composed of neuroblast cell bodies
-forms the basal and alar plate
alar plate?
forms the dorsal horn
**sensory
basal plate?
forms the ventral horn
**motor
what is the marginal layer?
outer layer
is the nerve processes
will become white layer when myelinated
motor cell body?
ventral motor root
basal plate**
sensory cell body?
dorsal motor root
alar plate**
how do spinal nerves develop?
cranial to caudal
gliablast?
form astrocytes and oligodendrocytes
spinal cord at 3 months?
extends the entire length
spinal cord at birth?
ends at LV4-LV5
spinal cord in adult?
ends at LV1-LV2
what guides process of nerve formation?
mainly mesoderm (somites)
when do dorsal and ventral rami form?
when somite splits into dorsal and ventral portions
myotome
skeletal muscle innervated by one spinal nerve
dermatome
area of skin innervated by one spinal nerve
each somite has what?
spinal nerve
will guide its formation
31 somites and spinal nerves
epimere
dorsal somite
hypomere
ventral somite
where does spina bifida most often occur?
lumbosacral region
what is spina bifida?
neural tube defect
spinal bifida occulta
15-20% of population
vertebral arches fail to fuse
does not typically involve meninges or nervous system
**often see a patch of hair
spina bifida cystics
spina bifida that involves meninges or neural tisue
meningocele
spina bifida that involves meninges
meningomyelocele
spina bifida involves meninges and spinal cord
meninges in spina bifida?
arachnoid and dura - therefore you have CSF in cavity
spina bifida with myeloschisis
most severe form
neural plate fails to elevate and fold
cord remains open and is represented as a flattened mass of nervous tissue
what tissue forms vertebral column?
somites
