Q

describe skeletal muscle formation from myoblasts

A

muscle precursors (myoblasts) fuse and form long, multinucleated muscle (myo) fibers, wrapped in CT (endomysium)

myofibrils appear in cytoplasm, cross striations appear at end of 3rd month

bundles of myofibers wrapped in CT (epimysium) are called fascicles, partitions of CT (perimysium) form septa

CT contains blood vessels and nerves

regulated by MyoD and MYF5 ventrolateral muscle expression of MyoD regulated by LPM: BMP4 and FGF ectoderm: WNT dorsomedial muslce expression of MYF5 regulated by: ectoderm: BMP4 Neural tube: WNT (induced by BMP4) neural tube floor plate and notochord: SHH (at low levels)
27
describe patterning of muscles
controlled by connective tissue (produced by fibroblasts) into which the myoblasts migrate sources are: head - neural crest occipital and cervical region - somotic mesoderm body wall and limbs - LPM (parietal)
28
describe limb growth and development
weeks 4-8 limbs, including shoulder and pelvic girdles comprise the appendicular skeleton limb buds visible at end of 4th week of development forelimbs before hindlimbs
29
limb bud components
a. mesenchymal core (LPM - parietal/somatic layer) will form bones and connective tissue b. overlying cuboudal ectoderm (part of which will form the apical ectodermal ridge)
30
with is the apical ectodermal ridge
extoderm at distal border of each limb that is thickened AER induces adjacent mesenchyme to remain undifferentiated AER has a role in forming proximal distal axis
31
describe limb development at 6 weeks
the terminal portion of limb buds flatten to form hand and foot plates and become separated from proximal segment by a circular constriction
32
describe formation of hyaline cartilage models
as limb grows - cells furthest from AER differentiate into chondrocytes forming cartilage models that precede bone
33
describe limb development at 7-8 weeks
each limb has 3 components 1. stylopod (forms humerus and femur, proximal) 2. zeugopod (forms radius/ulna, tibia/fibula) 3. autopod (will form carpals, metacarpals, tarsals, metatarsals, distal)
34
describe limb rotation in the 7th week
upper - 90 degrees laterally lower - 90 degrees medially
35
decribe digit formation
programmed cell death (apoptosis) in AER separates ridge into 5 parts digit outgrowht continues under influence of 5 ectodermal ridges mesenchyme condense to form 5 carticaginous digital arrays apoptosis occurs in between digital arrays
36
what is brachydactyly, syndactyly, polydactyly, ectrodactyly, cleft hand/foot due to
37
what types of joints form between weeks 6-8
joints formed in cartilagenous condensations chondrogenesis is arrested**, joint interzone** ins induced 1. fibrous joints (sutures of skull) 2. cartilagenous joints (pubic symphysis) 3. synovial joints (knee)
38
describe synovial joint formation
cells in interzone increase in number/density and form dense fibrous tissue fibrous tissue forms articular cartilage, synovial membranes, menisci and ligaments in joint capsule cell death creats joint cavity surrounding mesenchymal cells differentiate into a joint capsule
39
describe innervation of joints
a joint will be innervated by the same nerves that innervate the attached muscles and overlying skin. in addition to the fibers carrying proprioceptive information there are abudnant pain fibers in the joint
40
what is arthrogryposis
congenital join contractures
41
what is this
arthrogryposis - congenital joint contractrues
42
describe limb muscle development
formation of myotomes of somites begin to form in 7th week condensation of mesenchyme near base of limb buds forms (derivative of **dorsolateral** cells of somites that migrate) initially segmented according to somite origin; but single muscle eventually is formed frommore than 1 segment limb muslce patterning basedon connective tissue derived from LPM
43
describe flexor v extensor limb muslce formation from myotomes
with elongation of limb buds the muscle plits into flexor and extensor compartments from abaxial origin
44
what is are poland sequence and prune belly syndrome
45
what are muscular dystrophies
inherited muscle diseases that cause progressive muscular wasting and weakness some caused by mutations in gene for dystrophin on X chromosome
46
what is dystrophin
cytoplasmic protein forms protein comlex linking contractile elements to cell membrane maintains cell structure of myocytes and enables them to contract replaced by fibrous tissue
47
what are duchenne and becker MD
48
describe motor innervation of the developming musculature
due to vertebral level from which muscle cells originate limb m. innervated by primary ventral rami of spinal nerves from its spinal segment which divides to form dorsal and ventral branches to compartments branches unite to form larger dorsal and ventral nerves contact between nerve and muscle cells is necessary for functional differentiation
49
describe sensory innervation of developing limb musculature
by spinal nerves, reflects the embryological origin and innervation of skin dermatomes (NOT somite dermatome) dermatome pattern changes with growht and rotation of extremities but retains segmental pattern
50
describe blood supply to limbs
limb buds are supplied by branches of the intersegmental arteries arising from aorta primary axial artery and its branches form oin limbs, and vascular patterning progresses via angiogenesis to form vessesl of uppand lower limbs
51
describe molecular regulatino of proximal distal limb development
limb outgrowth from body wall is initiated by **FGF10** from LPM BMPs in ventral ectoderm induce formation of **AER** distally **Radical Fringe** in dorsal limb ectoderm restricts AER to distal limb tip. Results in induction of SER 2 **SER 2** expressed at border (assisted by **ENGRAILED-1**) establishes AER, whith then expresses FGF4 and 8 - maintain progress zone/undifferentiated zone of proliferating mesenchyme near AER
52
describe patterning of 3 limb segments in the proximal to distal axis
depends on relative distance from signals AER expresses FGF4 and 8 - maintain undifferentiated zone cells further from AER respond to retinoic acid signaling from flank mesoderm where 2 cell groups meet is differentiation front
53
describe molecular regulation of anterior-posterior limb development
regulated by **zone of polarizing activity (ZPA):** a cluster of mesenchymal cells at posterior border of limb near AER ZPA produces **retinoic acid** whihc leads to expression of **sonic the hedgehog** which contributes to specification of posterior in AP axis (pinkie finger) As limbs grow ZPA moves distally in proximity to posterior border of AER
54
dysregulation of anterior to posterior limb development is mediated by
abnormal expression of SHH by ZPA "misplaced" to anterior border (along wiht normal ZPA in posterior border) = duplication of the ZPA and SHH signaling this results in mirror duplication of posterior limb structures (little fingers)
55
describe the mediation of patterning of 3 limb segments: anterior to posterior axis
HOX gene expression in limb (overlapping patterns) correspond to stylopod, zeugopod and autopod HOX gene expression dependent on combinatorial expression of other genes Types and shapes of bones in limb also regulated by HOX genes
56
molecular regulation of doral ventral limb development
BMPs expressed in ventral ectoderm, which induce transcription factor EN1 WNT7 is expressed in dorsal ectoderm, leads to induction of LMX1 in dorsal mesechyme EN1 **represses** WNT7a, restricting it to dorsal limb ectoderm Thus - BMPs and Wnt7a act antagonistically WNT7a maintains SHH and ZPA (thus Wnt7a is indirecting involved in AP patterning)
57
what is amelia, meromelia, phocomelia and micromelia
amelia - complete absence of upper/or lower limbs meromelia - partial absence of limbs phocomelia - long bones absent; rudimentary hands/feet attached to trunk (subset of meromelia) micromelia - all segments of limb present, but short
58
what are teeth
arise from interactions between oral epithelium and underlying neural crest cderived mesenchyme NOT bones harder than bones due to dentine
59
compare and contrast bones and teeth
60
toothe development
3 months buds for permanent teeth form and lie on lingual aspect of milk teeth buds remain dormant until about 6 years milk teeth are lost as permanent teeth grow, root overlying deciduous tooth is resorbed by osteoclasts
