Q2 Exam 1 Flashcards
cingulum
hip/shoulder
stylopod
femur/humerus
zeugopod
tibia and fibula/ulna and radius
what embryonic areas give rise to the limbs?
dermatome, hypaxial myotome, somatic component of lateral plate mesoderm
what do hox genes determine
where limb buds form and what limb will develop in each location
t-box genes
determine limb identity (tbx5-fore, tbx4-hind)
AER
apical ectodermal ridge at the dorsoventral border of tip of bud, induces proliferation
PZ
progress zone, area of proliferation just proximal to AER
ZPA
zone of polarizing activity, mesenchymal cells that gives cranial/caudal identity to limb (sonic hedgehog gradient)
horse and camelid digit reduction
post-patterning changes
cattle and swine digit reduction
patterning changes, shifts axis of foot between digits 3 and 4
what is the limb movement description for the fetlock joint when the horse is standing?
over-extension
plantigrade
metacarpals on ground
digitigrade
carpals on ground
unguligrade
most distal digits only on ground
periosteum
CT surrounding bones/ joints
suture joints
joints between skull bones, very rigid
