Skeletal System Flashcards
The somite that the skeletal system starts from
Medial Ventral Somite
What is the structure that is on either side of the somite?
Paraxial Mesoderm
What are the two parts that the somites divide into?
Dermamyotome and Sclerotome
What forms from the Dermamyotome?
Dermatome and Myotome nerves
What forms from the Sclerotome?
Skeleton
What is the dividing somite made up of?
Mesenchyme
What develops from Mesenchyme?
Bone and Cartilage
What are the two kinds of bone growth/ossification?
Inter-carilagenous (intermembrounous) and Endochondral
What allows the bones to grow rapidly as the fetus grows?
The Cartilage state of developing bones
What to the vascularization point cells become?
Osteoblasts
What is the function of osteoblasts?
Deposit osteiod tissue that will become ossification centers
What is deposited at the ossification centers?
Bone matirx
What do spicules become?
Lamellae
What to the lamelle develop around and what do they form?
Blood vessels, Develop osteons
What to the spicules grow to become?
Trabecullae
What are the two types of development for the skull?
Neurocranium and splanchnocranuim
What is the Nuerocranium?
The bone that forms from mesenchyme that surrounds the brain
What are the two kinds of neurocranium development?
Neurochondrocranium and neuromembranocranium
Where does the neurochondocranium develop? When does it start ossification?
The base of the neurocranium. Starts at about 8 weks
