Q

What induces the apical ectodermal ridge

A

Paracrine growth factor FGF-10 which produces FGF-8 (fibroblast growth factor) - interacts with underlying mesoderm causing mitosis to promote limb growth

29
What happens in the 5th week in terms of musculature for the limbs
Mesoderm from the dermomyotome regions of the somites migrate into the limb bud, condense and differentiate into myoblasts which form anterior and posterior condensations which eventually differentiate into the musculature commonly seen in the limbs

36
What does the 7th intersegmental artery form
Distal part of right subclavian artery and whole left subclavian artery
37
What does the subclavian artery divide into
