Neurulation and MSK Development Flashcards
rostral and caudal neuropores must close to prevent defects; brain down to lumbar region of spinal cord
Primary neurulation
sacral and coccyx regions of spinal cord; small pocket of cells called caudal eminence fuses with the caudal neuropore giving rise to sacral and coccyx regions of spinal cord
Secondary neurulation
mesoderm origin and derived from sclerotome and cells of neural crest; gives rise to two other cell types
Meninx Primitiva
gives rise to dura mater
Pachymeninx from sclerotome of meninx primitiva
gives rise to arachnoid and Pia mater
leptomeninges from neural crest cells of meninx primitive
Ventromedial part of somite
sclerotome
Intramembranous Ossification
Mesenchyme turns to bone; flat bones of skull, face, temporal bone (head)
Endochondral Ossification
mesenchyme turns to hyaline cartilage then bone (most bones)
GOF in Hox genes
Caudalization; vertebrae looks like the vertebrae below it
LOF in Hox genes
Cranialization; vertebrae looks like the vertebrae above it
dorsolateral part of somite
dermatome and myotome
Form extensor muscles of neck and vertebral column; true muscles of back
Epaxial muscles
cervical myotomes, thoracic myotomes, lumbar myotomes, and Sacrococcygeal myotomes
Hypaxial muscles
gives rise to somites
paraxial mesoderm; muscle, skeleton, and dermis
gives rise to urogenital tract
Intermediate mesoderm; kidneys and gonads
