Vertebral, Ribs And Sternum Flashcards
HOX genes
Patterning of the shapes of the different vertebrae
Sternum is developed from the
Mesoderm in the ventral wall
Time of development of mesenchymal vertebral column
4th week
What makes up the intervertebral disc?
Nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus
Mesenchymal cells between cephalic and caudal parts of the original sclerotome do not proliferate. True or False
True
Ribs derived from
Sclerotome portion in paraxial mesoderm
Sternum develops independently im
Somatic mesoderm
2 sternal bands later fused to form cartilagenous models of the
Manubrium, sternebrae and xiphoid process
ZPA
controls anteroposterior patterning
Vertebrae and ribs form from the
Sclerotome portion of the somites (derived from paraxial mesoderm)
