Musculoskeletal System Development Flashcards
Skele muscle fibers arise from ___
Specific myoblasts lines in paraxial mesoderm
In the head, most skeletal muscles derive from ___
Myoblasts from somitomeres
Skeletal muscles of body wall and limbs derive from ____
Myoblasts of myotomes
Innervation of somites
. Single spinal n. Innervates each somites
. Tissue arising from that somite pulls spinal innervation with it when it migrates
Each myotome splits into ___ components
. Dorsal (epimere)
Ventrolateral (hypomere)
Dorsal myotome cells
. Remain in midline to form intrinsic back mm.
. Innervated by dorsal rami of spinal nn.
Ventrolateral myotome cell path
. Migrate into somatic layer of lateral plate mesoderm
. Give rise to musculature of the ventrolateral body wall (intercostal and abdominal mm.) and limbs
. Innervated by ventral rami of spinal nn.
Somitomeres
. In head
. Forms mm. Of mastication, facial expression, palate, pharynx, and larynx
. Extra-ocular eye mm.
Occipital myotomes
Form tongue mm.
Paraxial mesoderm components for skeleton development
. Somitomeres: post. Half of skull from chondroblasts and osteoblasts here
. Sclerotome: vertebrae, ribs, discs, bones of post. Skull from chondroblasts and osteoblasts from here
Somatic later of lat. plate mesoderm components for skeleton development
. Gives rise to chondroblasts that form precursors of bone of shoulder and pelvic girdles, appendicular skeleton, and sternum
Neural crest mesenchyme contribution to skeletal development
. Gives rise to chondroblasts and osteoblasts that form bones of ant. Skull, face, and middle ear cavity
Formation of vertebral column occurs by ____
Resegmentation of the sclerotome
Development of vertebral column
. Week 4: sclerotome cells surround neural tube and notochord
. Caudal half each sclerotome grows into cranial half of subadjacent one
. Each vertebra from cranial half of one sclerotome and caudal half of another
. R/L vertebral arch cartilages surround neural tube and fuse to form vertebral canal and spinous processes
. Mesenchymal tissue btw caudal and cranial portions of each sclerotome forms intervertebral disc
. Portions of notochord persist as primary nucleus pulposus
What occurs with limb buds in week 4 of development?
. Develop as outgrowths of ventrolat. Body wall
. Regulated by biomolecular signaling btw surface ectoderm and underlying mesoderm
. Somatic lat. plate mesoderm proliferates and causes ectoderm to bulge out
. Upper limbs develop 1-2 days earlier than lower limbs
Signaling molecule in upper limb development
Tbx-5
Signaling molecules in lower limb development
Thx-4
Hemivertebrae
. Wedge-shaped vertebrae
. Can produce abnormal curvature of the spine
Block vertebrae
. Occur from improper re-segmentation
. Parts of or entire vertebrae fuse together
. Can lead to blocking or stretching of n. Root exiting from that segment and neurological problems
. Sacrum is normal blocked vertebrae
Holt-oram syndrome
. Mutation in tbx-5 gene
. Heart abnormalities and upper limb deformities (finger-like or absent thumbs)
