Q

Describe the process of gastrulation

A

In the 3rd week of embryonic development, epiblast and hypoblast cells undergo a highly differentialized process. During this process, the two cell layers become 3 germ layers and the bodily axes observed in the mature adult are created.

Q

What is the difference between axial and appendicular?

A

Axial is attached to the spine (thoracic cage, skull, vertebral column)
Appendicular is attached to the appendages (humerus, pelvis)

Q

What do you think causes the spinal curves to form?

A

Initially, “C Shape” spine in babies. As child begins to stand walk, the muscles start attaching to the spine causing the curve.

Q

What is the alar ligament and cruciate ligament?

A

The alar ligament limits excessive rotation and lateral bending of the neck.
The cruciate ligament prevents abnormal movement of the OA joint
