Q

Proximal-distal axis of limb development

A

. Apical ectodermal ridge (AER) interacts w/ progress zone (limb bud mesoderm) that promotes outgrowth of limb
. Mesoderm cells further from influence of progress zone (closer to trunk) differentiate into cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels first
. Cells closer to tip of bud remain undifferentiated longer and continue proliferating

22
Q

Apical ectodermal ridge

A

. Ridge of thickening ectoderm located along AP plane of apex of limb bud

23
Q

Preaxial-postaxial axis in limb development

A

. Cranial to caudal (digit I to V)
. Preaxial border (digit 1) of each limb faces craniallt and postaxial faces caudally prior to week 7 (AP axis)
. Patterning and growth regulated by zone of polarizing activity

24
Q

Zone of polarizing activity

A

. Cluster of cells located on post. Border of limb close to trunk
. Express sonic hedgehog (shh) and retinoic acid that identifies nearby cells as posterior
. Cells located farther from ZPA and shh and retinoic acid gradient identify as anterior

25
Q

Dorsal-ventral axis of limb development

A

Dorsum of hand/foot to palm/sole
. Wnt-7a expressed in dorsal ectoderm induces expression of Lmx1 in underlying mesenchyme that identifies cells as dorsal
. Ventral limb bud ectoderm produces engrailed-1 which represses Wnt-7a and lmx1
. Apical ectodermal ridge marks border btw dorsal and ventral limb bud ectoderm

26
Q

Cartilaginous precursors to long bones appear as ____

A

. Condensations of mesenchyme in central core of prox. Part of limb
. Cartilage will undergo endochondral ossification

27
Q

Differentiation of cartilaginous skeleton occurs ____

A

. Proximal to distal

. Postaxial to preaxial

28
Q

Cartilaginous rods dissolves around ____

A

Future synovial joints

. In-utero muscular activity is required to maintain integrity of joint

29

A

Somatic lateral plate mesoderm

30
Q

Terminal portions of the limb bud flattens to form ____

A

Hand and foot plates

31
Q

A

. Mesenchyme condensations from hand and foot plates

. Precursors to digits

32
