Pectoral Region, Shoulder Flashcards
1
Q
Somite
A
- originate during 3rd week of embryogenesis
- day 20 = mesoderm differentiates
- after day 20 = differentiates into 44 pairs of somites (change into 31 sets of spinal nerves)
2
Q
Somite Subdivisions
A
- sclerotome = bone and cartilage
- syndetome = (from sclerotome) tendon and ligament
- dermomyotome = dermatome and myotome (segmental innervation)
3
Q
Formation of Limb Buds
A
- 4th week of development = upper limb buds appear as elevations of C5-T1
- cranial to caudal
- about a week later = lower limb buds appear as L2-S2 segments
4
Q
Progression of Limb Buds
A
- distal limb buds flatten (palms/soles anterior + thumb/great toe cranial)
- flexures: limbs bend anteriorly, elbow/knee are directed laterally, palm/sole directed toward trunk
5
Q
Torsion of Limb Buds
A
- end of 7th week
- proximal parts of upper and lower limbs undergo a 90 degree torsion in opposite directions
- elbow = caudal; knee = cranial
- in lower limb, permanent pronation (twisting) of leg so foot becomes oriented w/ great toe on medial side
6
Q
Formation of Digits
A
- mesenchyme condenses into plates, forming cartilaginous models of future digital bones
- interdigital spaces sculpted by cellular apoptosis
7
Q
Syndactyly
A
fusion of 2 or more digits
8
Q
Polydactyly
A
extra digits, typically occurs bilaterally
9
Q
Macrodactyly
A
enlarged digits
10
Q
Adactyly
A
absence of digits
11
Q
Ectrodactyly
A
“lobster-claw deformity”, typically missing middle digit, typically occurs unilaterally
12
Q
Amelia
A
complete absence of one or more extremities
13
Q
Meromelia
A
partial absence of one or more extremities
14
Q
Phocomelia
A
shortened lower extremities
15
Q
Radial Longitudinal Deficiency
A
radius is shortened
16
Q
Synovial Joint
A
- distal ends of two bones articulate
- articular cartilalge
- capsule made of outer fibrous and inner synovial membrane
- fluid-filled … synovial fluid (lubrication)
17
Q
Functional Joint
A
- no joint cavity
- held together by soft tissues
18
Q
Joints of UE
A
- glenohumeral (GH)
- acromioclavicular (AC)
- sternoclavicular (SC)
- scapulothroacic (ST) = functional
19
Q
What 3 muscles attach to the coracoid process?
A
coracobrachialis, short head of biceps brachii, pectoralis minor
