Somites and Segmentation Directed Study 9/28/12
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What 10 things does the mesoderm develop into? | muscle, CT, cartilage, bone, blood, blood vessels, kidneys, spleen, gonads, and suprarenal cortex |
What is the mesoderm produced by? | Primitive streak |
By day 17, the mesoderm differentiates into what three regions? | Paraxial, intermediate, and lateral mesoderm |
Where does the paraxial mesoderm thicken? | Near the midline, on each side of the notochord, and neural plate. |
Where is the lateral mesoderm located? | thin plates at the lateral edge of each side of the germ disc |
What does the lateral mesoderm develop into? | Coelom |
What does the intermediate mesoderm develop into> | components of the urinary system |
By the beginning of week 3, the paraxial meosderm becomes segmented into _________________. | somitomeres |
What does a somitomere consist of? | concentric whorls of cells on each side of the embryo |
What does each somitomere form beside in the anterior region? | neural plate segment (neuromere) |
What do the somitomeres near the neuromeres contribute to? | Head mesenchyme |
In the medial and posterior regions, somitomeres are further organized into ________________. | Somites |
Somites develop first in the _________ __________ on day 20. | occipital region |
Proceeding in the ____________ direction, about 3 somite pairs differentiate per day. | posterior |
The first _______ and the last 5-7 ________ somites later disappear. | occipital, coccygeal |
The other somites develop into the __________ __________. | Axial skeleton |
How many layers do the somites begin to differentiate into by the beginning of week four? | 3 |
The ventral and medial walls lose cohesion. This produces what kind of cells? | Mesenchymal |
What do these cells surround? | Notochord |
What are these mesenchymal cells surrounding the notochord known as? | Scherotomes |
What is the remaining dorsal wall of each somite called? | dermomyotome |
What does the dermomyotome laminate into? | Two layers |
What ate the two layers called? | myotome, dermatome |
What do sclerotoes produce? | Vertebrae by differentiating into cartilage and bone |
What to myotomes differentiate into? | Muscles attached to each vertebra and limbs |
What do dermatoms produce? | Underlying dermis of the skin |
Somites give rise to what pattern of our bodies? | Segmented |
