The head paraxial mesoderm is unsegmented. Neural crest cells invade into the head mesoderm and both contribute to head formation
The trunk paraxial mesoderm segments into somites that are thought to form by a clock‐wavefrontmodel. Starting from the cranial end of the embryo, the pairs of somites start to form at regular time intervals either side of the midline.

Transition from somitomere to somite. (A) Expression pattern of receptor tyrosine kinase EphA4 (blue) and its ligand, ephrinB2 (red) as somites develop. The somite boundary forms at the junction between the region of ephrin expression on the posterior of the last formed somite and the region of Eph expression on the anterior of the next somite to form. In the presomitic mesoderm, the pattern is created anew as each somite buds off. The posteriormost region of the next somite to form does not express ephrin until that somite is ready to separate.
Somitic segmentation occurs at the boundaries of gene expression
Differentiation of the somite (chick)Under inductive signals emanating from the notochord and neural tube floorplate (SHH) and from the overlying ectoderm (WNT/BMP4) the ventromedial somite undergoes an epithelial>mesenchymal transition creating the sclerotome. The dorsolateral part retains an epithelial character and becomes the dermamyotome.

(A) The somites divide into sclerotome cells and dermamyotome cells. (B) The sclerotome cells lose their adhesion to one another and migrate toward the neural tube. (C) The remaining dermamyotome cells divide. The medial cells form an epaxial myotome beneath the dermamyotome, while the lateral cells form a hypaxial myotome. (D) A layer of muscle cell precursors (the myotome) forms beneath the epithelial dermamyotome.
The cranial‐caudal expression boundary created at initial segmentation is maintained in the sclerotome and correlates with the boundary between a loosely organized cranial region and a cell‐dense caudal region. The division between these domains is called Von Ebner’s fissure. Later the sclerotomes split along this line and they fuse to adjacent sclerotomal segments to create the vertebral bodies.
This allows the spinal nerves to pass between the vertebral bodies to contact the muscles developing in the myotomal blocks
The sclerotome undergoes a process of resegmentation that involves the fusion of the caudal and cranial regions of successive sclerotomal masses. This gives rise to the vertebral body and neural arch.
The making of the somite: molecular events in vertebrate segmentationYumiko Saga & Hiroyuki TakedaNature Reviews Genetics 2, 835‐845 (November 2001)
The first 5 somites contribute to the occipital bone of the skull. The atlas is formed from the caudal region of the 5th somite and the cranial region of the 6th. This mechanism creates the situation in which there are 8 cervical spinal nerves but only 7 cervical vertebrae. In the thoracic, lumbar and sacral regions, the number of spinal nerves matches the number of vertebrae.
When the sclerotome splits, cells in the plane of the division coalesce to form the annulus fibrosus of the IV disc. The notochord cells enclosed by this form the nucleus pulposus. Elsewhere the notochord degenerates. The intersegmental arteries fall in the middle region of the vertebral body.

Sclerotomal mesenchyme surrounding the neural tube forms the neural arch of the vertebrae.
• Vertebrae specialize along the A/P axis• 33 in total – 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 5
coccygeal• The bodies are represented in yellow, the vertebral arches in
red, and the costal processes in blue• Mesenchyme of the costal processes in the thoracic region
forms the ribs• Seven pairs of true ribs attach directly to the sternum
through their own cartilage• Five pairs of false ribs attach via the cartilage of another rib
or ribs• Last 2 are floating ribs• The sternum develops from sternal bars that emerge in the
ventrolateral body wall• Chondrification occurs as they move medially• At 10 weeks they fuse in the median plane• Form cartilaginous models of manubrium, sternebrae and
the xiphoid process. • Centers of ossification appear before birth

Cranium developmentCan be subdivided into 4 main centres and 2 origins1. Neurocranium – bones enclosing the brain2. Viscerocranium – bones of the face derived from pharyngeal
archesCartilaginous neurocraniumForms the base of the brain box from temporary cartilage modelsa. Parachordal cartilage forms at the cranial end of the notochord
and fuses with the occipital sclerotomesb. Hypophysial cartilage forms around the pituitary and forms the
sphenoidc. Trabeculae cranii fuse to form the body of the ethmoidd. Ala orbitalis forms the lesser wing of the sphenoide. Otic capsules form around the otic vesicles and contribute to the
temporal bonef. Nasal capsules form around the nasal sacs and contribute to the
ethmoid
Membranous neurocraniumForms bone directly from the mesenchyme at the sides and top of the brain to form the calvaria (skullcap). Parietal and frontal with 6 fibrous fontanelles > sutures
Cartilaginous ViscerocraniumDerived from neural crest in the 1st two pharyngeal arches and develops via the intermediate formation of a cartilaginous modela. 1st pharyngeal arch – malleus and incus b. 2nd pharyngeal arch – stapes and styloid process of temporal bonec. 3rd pharyngeal arch – contribute to the hyoidd. 4th pharyngeal arch – laryngeal cartilage
Membranous ViscerocraniumMembranous ossification in the maxillary prominence of the1st arch –forms the squamous, temporal, maxillary and zygomatic bonesThe mandible is formed by membranous ossification around a cartilaginous model
Formation of cartilage
Cartilage development begins during the 5th week at sites of mesenchymal condensation called chondrification centres.
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into prechondrocytes then chondoblasts, which secrete an extracellular matrix of ground substance (carbohydrates ‐hyaluronan, chondroitin sulfates and keratan sulfate) and the protein tropocollagen (type II) which polymerizes extracellularly to form collagen fibres.
Types of cartilage
Hyaline – the basic form Elastic cartilage – has elastic fibres mixed in. forms the epiglottic cartilage, the larynx, external ear and auditory tubeFibrocartilage – contains type I collagen as well as type II collagen. Flexible and tough. Forms the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis.Articular cartilage – lines the joint surfaces
Bone formation ‐ Endochondrial Ossification
• Occurs in preexisting cartilaginous models• Majority of skeleton formed by this process (vertebra, limb long bones) • Osteoblasts replace cartilage matrix with a matrix rich in type I collagen• Chondrocytes undergo hypertrophy then apoptosis• Blood vessels enter bringing in osteoblasts which deposit bone matrix (osteoid)• Ossification centres (primary and secondary) create an epiphyseal cartilaginous growth
plate near the ends of long bones• Some invading cells differentiate into haematopoietic cells – bone marrow• Perichondrium converts into periosteum
Developmental Biology. 6th edition.Gilbert SF.Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates; 2000.
Intramembranous Ossification
• Forms in mesenchyme that has formed a membranous sheath • Mesenchyme condenses and becomes highly vascular• Precursor cells differentiate directly into osteoblasts and start to deposit bone
matrix (osteoid).• Calcium phosphate is deposited in the osteoid and the osteoblasts become
trapped within the matrix to form osteocytes. • Initially has no pattern – just spicules of bone which then organize into lamellae
(layers). • Bone van be continuously remodeled though resorption via osteoclasts and new
deposition via osteoblasts
Developmental Biology. 6th edition.Gilbert SF.Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates; 2000.
Bone formation is dependent on the action of the Runx2 (Cbfa1) transcription factor
Gene targeting of Cbfa1 in mice causes lack of bone formation. Newborn mice (wild‐type and homozygotes for Cbfa1) were stained with alcian blue (for cartilage) and alizarin red (for bone). Cartilage development in both mice was normal. (A) Wild‐type littermate. (B) Homozygous mutant showing cartilage, but an absence of ossification throughout the entire body. (Otto et al. 1997)
Muscle – Myogenesis
• Smooth muscle – some cells originate from undifferentiated splanchnic mesoderm mesenchymal cells. Smooth muscle surrounding blood vessels originates from somatic mesoderm. Others (iris of the eye, myoepithelial cells in mammary and sweat glands) originate from ectoderm. Differentiate to express smooth muscle actin and myosin for contraction but remain mononuclear
• Skeletal muscle ‐ cells originate from the paraxial mesoderm. Myoblasts undergo frequent divisions and then fuse to form multinucleated, syncytial myotubes that mature to form adult muscle fibres.
• Cardiac muscle ‐ cells originate from the prechordal splanchnic mesoderm. Discussed later
Skeletal Muscle has a syncitial cellular structure

Plasticity and Regeneration of Adult Muscle
Muscle Adaptation to Exercise TrainingAdaptations to exercise training, particularly elevation in oxidative capacity of exercisedmuscle but also some myosin isoform changes mainly in fast subtypes.
Cross‐ReinnervationBuller et al. (1960) – Motor nerves supplying the (slow) soleus and (fast) FDL muscles swapped around. Contraction speed of soleus got faster, FDL slower.
Chronic Low‐Frequency Stimulation (CLFS)Artificial electrical stimulation of a nerve supplying a fast muscle with a tonic patternmimics the impulse pattern of a slow nerve and induces fast to slow transformation Pette et al. (1973).
RegenerationInjured muscle can regenerate itself using a population of stem cells that are laid down during embryogenesis – called satellite cells. Satellite cells lie between the sarcolemma and the basal lamina of each muscle fibre and activated by injury.
