when do somites originate
3rd week of embryogenesis
what is a somite
mesodermal segments of embryos originating from stem cells that become the vertebral column, skeletal muscle and dermis.
when does the mesoderm differentiate into somites
after day 20
how many pairs of somites come from the mesoderm and how many sets of spinal nerves do they eventually create
44 pairs of somites; 31 sets of spinal nerves
what happens at the 7th week of embryogenesis regarding upper and lower limbs
upper and lower limbs undergo a 90 degree torsion in opposite directions, elbow goes caudally and knee goes cranially
what are:
syndactyly
polydactyly
macrodactyly
adactyly
ectrodactyly
anomalies
syn: fusion of digits
poly: extra digits (usually bilateral)
macro: enlarged digits
a: absence of digits
ectro: lobster claw
what are:
amelia
meromelia
phocomelia
anomalies
a: absence of extremities
mero: partial absence of extremities
phoco: shortened lower extremities
what are the 4 joints of the UE and are they synovial or functional
glenohumeral (syn)
acromioclavicular AC (syn)
sternoclavicular (syn)
scapulothoracic (functional)
what end of the clavicle is flat and what is rounder/pointy
sternal end is flat
acromial end is rounder/pointy
what is the antebrachium
forearm
what head of the tricep doesnt attach to the humerus
long head
is the long head and short head of the bicep biarticulate or triarticulate
triarticulate
biarticulate vs triarticulate
bi: works across two joints
tri: works across three joints (ex. shoulder elbow forearm)
what vessel runs on top of the superior transverse scapular ligament and what runs under it/through the notch
suprascapular nerve travels through notch/ under ligament
suprascapular artery runs above
three types of acromion (which is best)
type I: flat (most healthy/ norm)
type II: curved
type III: hooked (caused by bone spurs/overuse–causes compression of subacromial vessels)
