SEM_14_Bone Formation Processes Quiz

The apical ridge, a thickened edge of the ectoderm along the outer margin of the limb bud, is formed by the interaction between the ectoderm and the underlying mesoderm.

Limb buds are formed by the proliferation of mesodermal masses, covered by the thickened epidermis, and the migration of myogenic precursor cells from the somites.

The apical ridge induces the mesoderm to continue growing into the limb, resulting in the elongation of the buds.

Regional differentiation of the limbs occurs through a three-dimensional pattern of development: proximal-distal, medial-lateral, and dorsal-ventral.

Three signaling centers regulate this pattern of morphogenesis by creating specific morphogenic gradients.

The filling mesenchyme differentiates into specific bones, and the migrated myoblasts form initial masses that later subdivide into individual muscles.

The homologies in the development of both thoracic and pelvic limbs indicate that the same set of bones are present in varying forms and sizes, reflecting the adaptations of different species.

Domestic mammals have a default construction from a handplate/footplate consisting of a flattened, paddle-shaped region with five radiating digits.

Species may undergo further degeneration and/or fusion of developing digits resulting in less than five digits.

Mammals have three stances based on how the bones in their limbs touch the ground: plantigrade (ungulates), digitigrade (carnivores), and unguligrade (ungulates).

Ungulates have hooves, which are covered tips of their digits that they use to sustain their body weight.

Odd-toed ungulates, such as horses and rhinoceroses, have one functional finger, while the other digits are smaller and rudimentary.

Artiodactyls, such as pigs and ruminants, have two functional fingers, and their weight is borne by the two middle fingers of approximately equal size.

Digitigrade animals, such as dogs, stand or walk on their digits. They retain the original embryonic pattern of five digital fingers, and some digits may be vestigial.

Congenital defects in the development of the limbs include Achondroplasia, Arthrogryposis, and Polydactyly.

Achondroplasia is a form of short-limbed dwarfism caused by premature ossification of the growth cartilages of the extremities.

Arthrogryposis can result from malformed joints, denervation, abnormal muscle tension, or impaired mobility in utero.

Polydactyly is the presence of extra digits or fused digits.

The skull consists of two main parts: neurocranium and viscerocranium (or facial skeleton)

The nasal cavity forms from the frontonasal prominence, which divides into frontal bone and nasal processes

Initially, nasal placodes grow at the rostral end of the frontonasal prominence, leading to the formation of nasal pits and primitive nasal cavity

A longitudinal fold, nasal septum, grows in the midline of the primitive nasal cavity, separating it into two nasal passages

The shape of the head is determined by the growth of frontal, nasal, maxillary, and mandibular prominences

The development of the palate separates the oral and nasal cavities, with a primary palate forming between the maxillary prominences and a secondary palate developing from palatine processes

Congenital abnormalities of the palate include cleft palate and cheiloschisis (hare lip)

Oral clefts can affect different parts of the oral cavity, including the lip, alveolar process, soft palate, and hard palate

The oral cavity develops through the formation of an ectodermal invagination called the stomodeum

The lips and gingivae form from labiogingival laminae, which invaginate into the underlying ectomesenchyme

The tongue develops from several swellings in the pharynx, with the body and apex derived from the first pharyngeal arch and the root from the second pharyngeal arch.
