What determines the Dorsal/Ventral Axis?
Epithelial(Ectoderm)/Mesethelial(Lateral Plate) Interaction

Ventral Ectoderm produces - Engrailed 1

Dorsal Ectoderm produces - Wnt 7A
What determines the Proximal/Distal Axis?
Apical Ectodermal Ridge (AER) interacts with Progress Zone (PZ) of mesenchyme.

Length of time in PZ/# of cell divisions determines fate : more divisions/longer time = more distal

AER produces FBF2
PZ produces Sonic Hedgehog

PZ age, not AER, controls limb bud growth
Steps in embryological proximal end differentiation
a. Condensation.

b. Differentiation into chondocytes (future bones) and fibroblasts (future investing fascia and tendons).

c. Chondrification.

d. Ossification.

e.Somitic hypomeres invade the anterior and posterior compartments to form muscle

f. Ventral rami of the corresponding spinal nerves invade, blocked by lateral plate mesoderm, split into anterior and posterior nerves
Embryological Arteries and Veins
Arteries down the middle/axial

Veins around the edges/ pre and post axial

Pre Axial Veins - basilic/small saphenous

Post Axial Veins - cephalic/great saphenous

Zone of Polarizing Activity forms postaxial structures via Sonic Hedgehog

Retinoic Acid has same effects

HoxD genes mediate effects
Phocomelia
Limb Bud Malformation (Very Short Arms)

Outgrowth of limb bud prevented so cells stay under influence of AER for an extended time resulting in only distal components.

Motor Loss to Entire Arm

Sensory Loss from Arm except medial arm from T2

Miosis, Anhydrosis, Ptosis
MAP
Miosis : Constriction of Pupil

Anhydrosis : Dryness of surrounding skin

Ptosis : Drooping of eyelid

MAP indicates the loss of the T1 root, which provides the sympathetic innervation to most of the head and neck region. This means a concomitant loss of pupil dilation and sweat gland secretions.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Reduction in size of the carpal tunnel compresses the median nerve

Where to test for cutaneous innervation of brachial plexus nerves/autonomous areas?
Radial nerve: test skin at the web between the thumb and index finger, on the dorsum of the hand (at the location of the dorsal interosseous).

Median nerve: test skin at the tip of the index finger.

Ulnar nerve: test skin at the tip of the little finger.

Musculocutaneous: not tested in the hand.
Superior Gluteal Nerve Injury
During walking, the patient shifts his/her torso over the planted leg in order to keep the center of gravity over her line of support.

Shift towards injured side

Loss of innervation to lesser gluteal muscles (medius and minimus), which contract during the stance phase so that the pelvis doesn’t collapse to the unsupported side.

Use Trendelenberg Test
Trendelenburg Test
Test for Superior Gluteal Nerve Injury

Have the patient stand on one leg.

If pelvis stays basically horizontal, no injury

If pelvis tilts to the unsupported side, there is an injury to the superior gluteal nerve.

The patient will also exhibit a shifting of the upper body over the planted leg in order to compensate for the pelvic tilt.
Synovial Joint
Empty Cavity between articulating cartilage

Articular Cartilage

Joint is enclosed in a capsule.

i. Outer layer is fibrous.

ii. Inner layer is a synovial membrane which secretes lubricating synovial fluid.

Runs from the anteromedial aspect of the medial femoral condyle to the posterior intercondylar ridge of the tibia

Taut when knee is flexed

Resists tibia moving posterior on the femur

Also prevents hyperflexion of the knee.
