T15- Development of the back Flashcards
What is somitogenesis
formation of the somites
When does somitogenesis occur
between days 20 and 30
Somitogenesis
What does somitogenesis begin with
regression of the primative streak which leaves behind the notochord
Somitogenesis
What happens as the primative streak leaves behind the notochord
formation of somitomere pairs occur on either side of the notochord in the cranial reigon
Somitogenesis
After the _____ pair of somitomeres are formed in the _______ reigon, no more somitomeres are formed; instead the ________________ will differentiate into ___________
7th; cranial; paraxial mesoderm; somites
Somitogenesis
Where does the first pair of somites appear?
in the occipital reigon
Somitogenesis
When does the first pair of somites appear
around day 20
Somitogenesis
At what rate do somites form?
a rate of about 3 somite pairs/day
Somitogenesis
In total, how many somite pairs will develop?
42-44 pairs of somites
Somitogenesis
How many pairs of somites in each reigon
Occipital reigon: 5 Cervical reigon: 8 Thoracic reigon: 12 Lumbar reigon: 5 Sacral region: 5 Cocxygeal reigon: 8-10
Epithelization of somite
What happens when the somite undergoes epithelization
it forms around a somitocoel
Epithelization of somite
What happens in the ventral reigon of somite
epithelial cells transform back into mesenchyme and are pushed centrally; forms the sclerotome
Epithelization of somite
What do sclerotome cells surround
the neural tube and the notochord
Epithelization of somite
What is the sclerotome divided into
Dorsal, ventral, lateral and central sclerotome
Epithelization of somite
Where does dorsal sclerotome end up
between the neural tube and surface ectoderm
Epithelization of somite
Where does ventral sclerotome end up
circling around the notochord
Epithelization of somite
Where does lateral sclerotome end up
migrating laterally and ventrally
Epithelization of somite
Where does central sclerotome end up
it stays in close connection with the dermatome
Epithelization of somite
What happens to the dorsal reigon of the somite
it becomes the dermomyotome
