Q

fissure formation is the

A

separation of individual somites from each other

17
Q

fissure formation requires….
why?

A
  • tyrosine kinases
  • to ensure proper separation
18
Q

epithelialization occurs after somite fission when messenchymal cells produce

A

epithelial covering around somites w/ fibronectin & cadherin

for adhesion

19
Q

specification & differentiation refers to when

A

expressed gene segments within the somites form specific structures

20
Q

paracrine factors are

A

inducing factors from the notochord and neural tube

21
Q

paracrine factors stimulate the commitment of somites into

A
  • sclerotome
  • dermatome
  • myotome
22
Q

following somite stimulation the notochord undergoes

23
Q

after the notochord undergoes apoptosis the remaining notochord cells form a portion of the

A

vertebral disc

24
Q

in myogenesis paracrine factors induce

A

myotome formation from the somites

25
what protein is involved in myogenesis?
MyoD
26
the specific protein MyoD induces the
synthesis of muscles from expressed muscle specific genes
27
muscle formation relies on
- cadherins for attachment - Ca 2+ for development & contraction
28
messenchymal cells are
stem cells which form all connective tissues
29
connective tissue converts to bone by
intramembranous ossification
30
connective tissue converts to cartilage from
chondrocytes
31
chondrocytes serve as the skeletal template for.... what is this known as?
bone formation endochondral ossification
32
endochondral ossification forms what structures
- vertebral column - ribs - pelvis - long bones - limbs
