    Study Notes

    Muscular System Overview

    • Muscular system originates from mesodermal germ layer, excluding some smooth muscles.
    • Three primary germ layers in embryology: ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm.

    Development Domains

    • Dorsomedial Lips: Located in the sacral region.
    • Lateral Somitic Frontier: Imaginary border separating mesodermal domains.
    • Primaxial Domain: Superior cephalic part of the head, composed of somitomeres.
    • Abaxial Domain: Forms back of the embryo along the spine.

    Muscle Types

    • Skeletal Muscles and Tendons:
      • Paraxial mesoderm leads to the development of back muscles, myoblasts responsible for skeletal muscle formation.
    • Cardiac Muscle:
      • Develops from splanchnic mesoderm surrounding the heart tube, characterized by intercalated discs.
    • Smooth Muscle:
      • Derived from lateral plate mesoderm and neural crest derivatives.

    Somites

    • Formed as paired segments alongside the notochord during embryogenesis.
    • Somites give rise to sclerotome (cartilage and bony framework), syndotome (tendons), and myotome (skeletal muscle).

    Specific Muscle Development

    • Head Musculature: Derived from paraxial mesoderm including muscles of the tongue, eyes (excluding the iris), and pharyngeal arches.
    • Limb Musculature: Mesenchyme from dorsolateral somites migrates to limb buds to form muscles.

    Molecular Regulation

    • SCLERAXIS: Key transcription factor regulating tendon development from somite-derived cells.

    Clinical Correlates

    • Poland Sequence: Rare condition (1 in 20,000) characterized by absence of pectoralis minor and partial loss of pectoralis major, may involve nipple displacement and digit deformities.
    • Prune Belly Syndrome: Condition marked by absence or atrophy of abdominal muscles, leading to a distended abdomen and urinary bladder defects.
    • Muscular Dystrophies:
      • Duchenne MD: X-linked disorder, muscle weakness and degeneration.
      • Becker MD: Milder form of Duchenne, variable severity.

    Key Features of Muscle Development

    • Myoblasts: Precursor cells for skeletal muscle that do not fuse in cardiac muscle.
    • Purkinje Fibers: Specialized muscle fibers in cardiac tissue for electrical conduction.
    • Dermomyotome: Structure formed from somitic cells that leads to the development of dermis and skeletal muscle.
