Q

In stage 3 of ossification fill in the blanks or answer the questions
1. What do some osteoblasts become?
2. What part of the bone is remodeled and how?
3. Where does lengthening of bones occur and how?

A

Osteoblasts, via blood vessels, reach the developing bone & some become hemotopoietic (stem) cells (bone marrow).

This process continues toward the epiphyses (ends of the bones). The spicules of bone are remodeled by the action of marrow derived multinucleated osteoclasts (resorb bone tissues) & osteoblasts (deposit new bone tissue).

Lengthening of bones occurs at thediaphyseal-epiphyseal junction, as the chondrocytes proliferate at the epiphyseal cartilage plates (growth plates).

3. by age 20 what 3 things occur?

A

Formation of the medullary cavity & secondary ossification centers in the epiphyses appear in most bones.

Ossification spreads radially, and only the articular cartilage (near joints) & transverse epiphyseal cartilage plate remain cartilaginous.

By age 20, the cartilage plate is replaced by spongy bone, the epiphyses and diaphysis fuse & elongation of the bone stops.

What forms the tongue muscles?

A

Initially there are four occipital (postotic) myotomes; the first pair disappears. Myoblasts from the remaining 3 myotomes form the tongue muscles.

91
Q

Precursor myogenic cells of the limbs for limb muscle development originate from what?

A

originate from the somites near the ventro-lateral dermomyotome and migrate into the limb primordium.

92
Q

What do Myoblasts around the bones form during limb development?

A

form dorsal (extensor) and ventral (flexor) limb muscles.

93
Q

What are the 3 distinct origins of smooth muscle development?

A
  1. Splanchnic mesoderm
  2. Somatic mesoderm
  3. Ectodermal cells
94
Q

Smooth Muscle Development

What does splanchnic mesoderm give rise to?

A

Splanchnic mesoderm gives rise to smooth muscle surrounding the primordial gut endoderm

95
Q

Smooth Muscle Development

What does somatic mesoderm give rise to?

A

Somatic mesoderm gives rise to smooth muscles of the blood and lymphatic vessels.

96
Q

Smooth Muscle Development

What do ectodermal cells give rise to?

A

gets converted to mesenchymal cells & forms myoepithelial cells in mammary and sweat glands and eye muscles (iris sphincter and dilator pupillae).

97
Q

During smooth muscle development, what does Mesodermal cell develop? Does smooth muscle fuse?

A
  • Mesodermal cell develop elongated nuclei in spindle- shaped myoblasts, which becomes smooth muscle cells.
  • Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle cells do not fuse.
98
Q

What is the origin of cardiac muscle cells?

A

Cardiac muscle cells are derived from lateral splanchnic mesoderm forming the early heart tube.

99
Q

How are cardiac myoblasts connected?

A

Cardiac myoblasts do not fuse to form fibers, but remain connected via intercalated discs.

100
Q

What occurs to cardiac myoblasts in the 4th week during cardiac muscle development?

A

Cardiac myoblasts in the primordial myocardium differentiate & form heart muscles

101
Q

Cardiac muscle fibers arise by ?

A

differentiation and growth of single muscle cells.

102
Q

Later in cardiac muscle developement, what special, atypical bundles of muscle cells develop?

A

special, atypical bundles of muscle cells develop with few myofibrils and large diameter cardiac muscle fibers, called the Purkinje fibers, forming the electrical conducting system of the heart.

103
Q

Congenital Anomalies of Muscles Development

What is Poland Syndrome?
What is absent?

A
  1. Absence of the pectoralis (major & minor) muscles near the sternal part associated with Syndactyly(fusion of digits), ipsilateral breast hypoplasia, and absence of 2-4 ribs.
  2. Absence of mammary gland and/or hypoplasia of the nipple.
104
Q

Congenital Anomalies of Muscles Development

What is Arthrogryposis?

A
  1. Multiple congenital joint contractures in multiple parts of the body, comprising of >300 disorders.
  2. Connective tissue abnormalities restrict intrauterine movement causing fetal akinesia. E.g. “Amyoplasia” show bilateral flexion contractures of the wrist & extension of the knees.

Stiffness of the joints with hypoplasia of the associated muscles
