Notochord Development
• Solid cord of mesoderm cells• Formed by the 18th day• Midline, in cranio-caudal axis of the embryo• First sign of skeletal formation• Signals by secreting specialized proteins• Signals overlying ectoderm to form the neural
tube• Eventually becomes the nucleus propulsus in the
adult vertebrae
![Page 5: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Germ Layer Development
• Day 20: paraxial mesoderms form somites– Begins in cervical region, spread cranially and
caudally• Cervical is most advanced part of body.
– Three pairs formed per day until 44 pairs develop by week 5
– Some will later disappear
![Page 6: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Somites
• Somite pairs migrate• Cellular pairs– Ventromedial becomes
Sclerotome (BONE)– Dorsolateral becomes
Dermomyotome• Dermis, Dermatome• Myoblasts, Myotome

![Page 7: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Somites, early on, become associated with a particular spinal nerve.
• When many of the somite cells migrate to new locations in the embryo, they retain this neural link.
• Basis for:– referred pain– patterns of cutaneous
innervation– nerve supply to muscles
Axial structures - somites are arranged in pairs alongside the neural tube(light orange) and notochord (blue). Each somite is composed of a dermatome (light purple), myotome (light brown), and sclerotome (dark yellow). The ectoderm lies above and the endoderm below.

• Major changes in body of embryo• Two pharyngeal arches are visible and two
develop– Mandibular arch (first) gives rise to the lower jaw,
extension of this gives rise to the upper jaw– Second arch is the hyoid arch
• Upper limb buds are recognizable– Pouches for arms• UE forms before LE

around the notochord, neural tube and in body wall
– Sclerotome: loosely arranged cells cranially, densely packed cells caudally
![Page 18: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Development of Bone and Cartilage
19
• Mesoderm gives rise to mesenchyme: meshwork of loosely organized embryonic connective tissue
• Bones appear as condensations of mesenchymal cells to form a bone model
![Page 20: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Mesenchymal Bone Formation
• Intramembranous ossification
– Occurs in mesenchyme that has formed a sheath, becomes highly vascularized
– Develops into osteoblasts which deposit osteoid

Process of Bone Formation
• Osteoid is cell matrix, deposited by the mesenchyme cells.
• Calcium phosphate attaches to the osteoid tissue and traps the osteoblasts within. These cells then become osteocytes.
• No pattern develops at first, later organize into lamellae which develop around blood vessels. Osteons (Haversian system)
21
![Page 22: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Osteoblasts at periphery of developing bone, lay down the lamella, forms plates of compact bone with spongy bone in between
• Between spongy environment is region of osteoclastic activity (bone resorption)
• Mesenchyme also develop into bone marrow in this region

Cartilage Model of Bone Formation
• Endochondral Ossification– Primary Center of
Ossification• Give the initial length to
bone
– Secondary Centers of Ossification• Growth plates

Primary Ossification Center
• Appears in diaphysis
• Chondrocytes increase in size by mitosis, align in rows, enlarge to increase length and diameter
• Chondrocytes then die, matrix calcifies and forms a honeycomb appearance
• Thin layer of bone deposited under perichondrium which becomes periosteum
• Process moves toward the epiphyses
24
![Page 25: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• At Birth: diaphyses are largely ossified
• Epiphyses are still cartilagenous
• Secondary ossification centers occur within a few years after birth

Vertebral Ossification• Ossification of vertebrae begins
during embryonic period and ends by age 25
• Ossification within neural arches by eighth week
• Birth: each vertebrae has three bony parts connected by cartilage
• Fuse within first 3-5 years• Sometimes the vertebrae will
fuse together.

6th week
![Page 29: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Arches unite first in lumbar region and progress cranially
• Vertebral arch articulates with the centrum at cartilaginous neurocentral joints. These joints permit the vertebral arches growth as the spinal cord enlarges
• Five secondary ossification centers appear after puberty – ossify by age 25:– Tip of spinous process– Tip of each transverse
process– Superior and inferior
vertebral end plates

Exceptions to typical vertebral ossification
• C1 vertebrae• C2 vertebrae• C7 vertebrae• All lumbar, sacral
and coccyx vertebrae
• Typical:– 7 cervical vertebrae– 12 thoracic– 5 lumbar– 5 sacral– Sometimes L5 fuses to the
sacrum (sacralization)– Sometimes S1 doesn’t fuse
(lumbarization)

Development of the Disc
• Mesenchyme cells form the annulus fibrosus
• Notochord forms the nucleus pulposus
– Sclerotome cells migrate medially to surround the notochord
– Notochord becomes encased in a continuous cylinder of sclerotomic mesenchyme
– Caudal half of each sclerotome fused with cephalic half of the next scelrotome to form the mesenchymal vertebral body
4th week of gestation:

• 5-6 weeks gestation: mesnechymal tissue surrounding notochord begins to segment
• Mesenchymal condensations forms the annulus fibrosus (light band)
• Non condensed mesenchyme forms the vertebral bodies (dark band)

• Notochord enlarges between vertebral bodies, forms nucleus propulsus
• Notochord disappears in areas where vertebrae are developing
33
![Page 34: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Development of Ribs
34
• Ribs develop from mesenchymal costal processes of thoracic vertebrae
• Cartilaginous during embryonic period• Ossify during fetal period• Seven pairs true ribs• Five pairs of false ribs• Two pair of floating ribs
![Page 35: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Development of Sternum• Pair of sternal bars develop
ventrolaterally in body wall
• Condrification occurs in bars as they move medially
• Fuse craniocaudally to from cartilaginous models of manubrium, sternum and xiphoid process
• Centers of ossification appear craniocaudally in sternum before birth except for xiphoid process which occurs during childhood
35
![Page 36: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Development of Limbs
• Fifth Week: condensations of mesenchyme appear as limb buds
• Mesenchymal bone models in limbs chondrify during the sixth week and form hyaline cartilage bone models
• Clavicle develops first then pectoral girdle and upper limb bones then pelvic girdle and lower limb bones
36
![Page 37: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Ossification begins by 8th week and occurs in primary ossification centers
• 12th week, all long bones have primary ossification centers
• Clavicles begin to ossify before any other bone in the body, then the femurs
• Secondary ossification centers occurs in utero, first in the knee, most appear after birth
37
![Page 38: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Early 7th week: limbs extend ventrally. Flexor aspect of limbs are ventral and extensors are dorsal.– UE rotate Externally– LE rotate Internally
• Limbs then rotate in opposite directions and to different degrees
• Upper limbs rotate laterally through 90 dg – Elbows face posterior– Flexors of elbow are
anterior
• Lower limbs rotate medially through almost 90 dg– Knees face anterior– Extensors of knee are
anterior
38
![Page 39: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Embryological Development of Joints
39
• Develop during the sixth week with the appearance of the interzonal mesenchyme.
• By the end of week eight, they resemble adult joints.
• Layer of synovium separates from the joint spaces
![Page 40: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Fibrous Joint Development
40
• Dense fibrous tissue develops from the interzonal mesenchyme creating the fibrous joints like the cranial sutures.
![Page 41: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Cartilaginous Joint Development
41
• Interzonal mesenchyme develops into either hyaline cartilage (chostochondral joints) or fibrocartilage (pubic symphysis, clavicle) – Starts week 6 continues into week 8
![Page 42: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Synovial Joint Development
42
• Interzonal mesenchyme differentiates into (week 7-8):– Peripherally, it forms the capsular and other
ligaments
– Centrally it disappears and resulting space becomes the joint cavity or synovial cavity
– When it lines the joint capsule and articular surfaces, it becomes the synovial membrane
![Page 43: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Development of Skeletal Muscle
43
• Derived from the myotome regions of somites
• First indication of myogenesis is the elongation of the nuclei and cell bodies of the mesenchymal cells which differentiate into myoblasts.
• When start to see striation then it is differeante.
![Page 44: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
44
• The primordial muscle cells fuse to form elongated, multinuclear, cylindrical tubes or myotubes.
• Muscle growth in the fetus then occurs with ongoing fusion of myoblasts and myotubes.
![Page 45: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
• At the time of the fusion myofilaments appear in the cytoplasm of the myotubes
• Most skeletal muscle is developed before birth
• All developed by age 1, muscles increase in length and width as the skeleton grows.
![Page 46: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Embryological Development of Tendon
46
• Embryologically, tendon develops from the mesoderm tissue
• Develops at a similar time as ligaments and muscle
• Initially consists of tenoblasts and type I collagen
![Page 47: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
• Upper limb tendons develop before lower limb tendons
• Extensor muscles of lower limb don’t fully develop until after birth
• Interaction occurs between the tendon cells and muscle cells to coordinate correct insertion of each tendon to its appropriate muscle (Jozsa, Kannus, 1997)
![Page 48: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Development of Ligament:EX: Anterior Cruciate Ligament
48
Weeks 9-10• Fibroblasts align between femoral and tibial attachment sites
• Collagen fibrils are deposited between cells, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ligament
• As cells deposit more and more collagen, bundles of matrix push cells apart forming a mature ligament with a low density of cells and a higher collagen content
![Page 49: Development of the Musculoskeletal System](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013103/568132c1550346895d998492/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
