Muscular System Ass. Prof. Malak A. Al-yawer
2
The muscular system develops from
mesoderm, except for the muscles of the iris, which develop from neuroectoderm, and the muscles of the esophagus, which are believed to develop by transdifferentiation from smooth muscle.
3
Striated Skeletal Musculature
4
Somites and somitomeres
form the musculature of the axial skeleton, body wall, limbs, and head.
5
From the occipital region caudally
somites form and differentiate into the sclerotome, dermatome, and two muscle-forming regions.
6
Muscle-forming regions
One appears at the ventrolateral edge or lip (VLL) of the prospective dermomyotome. contributes to formation of the myotome and also provides progenitor cells for limb and body wall (hypomeric, hypaxial) musculature. The other region lies at the dorsomedial edge or lip (DML) of the dermomyotome, and these cells migrate ventral to the prospective dermatome and also contributes to formation of the myotome and will form muscles of the back (epimeric, epaxial musculature)
7
Myogenesis Myoblasts (embryonic muscle cells) are derived from (mesenchyme (embryonic connective tissue. The induction of myogenesis in mesenchymal cells by MyoD(a member of the family of myogenic regulatory factors) is dependent on their degree of mesenchymal cell differentiation. Much of the mesenchyme in the head is derived from the neural crest particularly the tissues derived from the pharyngeal arches. However, the original mesenchyme in these arches gives rise to the musculature of the face and neck.
8
Myogenesis The first indication of myogenesis (muscle formation) is the elongation of the nuclei and cell bodies of mesenchymal cells as they differentiate into myoblasts. Soon these primordial muscle cells fuse to form elongated, multinucleated, cylindrical structures-myotubes. During or after fusion of the myoblasts, myofilaments develop in the cytoplasm of the myotubes. Other organelles characteristic of striated muscle cells, such as myofibrils, also form. As the myotubes develop, they become invested with external laminae, which segregate them from the surrounding connective tissue. Fibroblasts produce the perimysium and epimysium layers of the fibrous sheath of the muscle; the endomysium is formed by the external lamina, and reticular fibers.
9
Somitomeres A similar process occurs in the seven somitomeres in the head region rostral to the occipital somites. Somitomeres remain loosely organized structures and never segregate into sclerotome and dermomyotome segments.
11
Tendons are derived from sclerotome cells lying adjacent to myotomes at the anterior and posterior borders of somites.
12
Patterning of Muscles are controlled by connective tissue into which myoblasts migrate. In the head region, these connective tissues are derived from neural crest cells; in cervical and occipital regions, they differentiate from somitic mesoderm; and in the body wall and limbs, they originate from somatic mesoderm.
13
Derivatives of Precursor Muscle Cells
By the end of the fifth week, prospective muscle cells are collected into two parts: the Epimere a small dorsal portion formed from the dorsomedial cells of the somite that reorganized as myotomes; and the Hypomere a larger ventral part formed by migration of ventrolateral cells of the somite.
14
Nerves innervating segmental muscles are also divided into
a Dorsal primary ramus for the epimere and a Ventral primary ramus for the hypomere these nerves will remain with their original muscle segment throughout its migration.
15
Myoblasts of the epimeres form the extensor muscles of the vertebral column,
Myoblasts of the hypomeres give rise to muscles of the limbs and body wall
16
Myoblasts from hypomeres
In the cervical region form the scalene, geniohyoid, and prevertebral muscles. In the thoracic region split into three layers, represented by the external intercostal, internal intercostal, and innermost intercostal or transversus thoracis muscle In the abdominal wall, these three muscle layers consist of the external oblique, the internal oblique, and the transversus abdominis muscles. The ribs cause the muscles in the wall of the thorax to maintain their segmental character, whereas muscles in the various segments of the abdominal wall fuse to form large sheets of muscle tissue. In the lumbar segments form the quadratus lumborum muscle, In the sacral and coccygeal regions form the pelvic diaphragm and striated muscles of the anus.
17
ventral tip of the hypomeres gives rise to a ventral longitudinal column
This column is represented by the rectus abdominis muscle in the abdominal region and by the infrahyoid musculature in the cervical region. In the thorax, the longitudinal muscle normally disappears but is occasionally represented by the sternalis muscle.
18
Head Musculature All voluntary muscles of the head region are derived from paraxial mesoderm (somitomeres and somites), including musculature of the tongue, eye except that of the iris, which is derived from optic cup ectoderm and that associated with the pharyngeal (visceral) arches
19
Limb Musculature The first indication of limb musculature is observed in the 7th week of development as a condensation of mesenchyme near the base of the limb buds..
20
Limb Musculature With elongation of the limb buds, the muscle tissue splits into flexor and extensor components. Although muscles of the limbs are segmental initially, with time they fuse and are then composed of tissue derived from several segments.
21
Limb buds The upper limb buds lie opposite the lower five cervical and upper two thoracic segments and the lower limb buds lie opposite the lower four lumbar and upper two sacral segments
22
Innervation of the limb musculature
As soon as the buds form, ventral primary rami from the appropriate spinal nerves penetrate into the mesenchyme. At first, each ventral ramus enters with isolated dorsal and ventral branches, but soon these branches unite to form large dorsal and ventral nerves. Spinal nerves play an important role in: differentiation and motor innervation of the limb musculature and provide sensory innervation for the dermatomes.
23
Clinical Correlates Partial or complete absence of one or more muscles is rather common. The pectoralis major muscle (Poland anomaly), the palmaris longus, the serratus anterior, and the quadratus femoris muscles may be partially or entirely absent.
24
Prune belly syndrome Partial or complete absence of abdominal musculature Usually, the abdominal wall is so thin that organs are visible and easily palpated. This defect is associated with malformations of the urinary tract and bladder, including urethral obstruction. These defects cause an accumulation of fluid that distends the abdomen, resulting in atrophy of the abdominal muscles.
25
Congenital Torticollis
Some cases of torticollis (wryneck) result from tearing of fibers of the sternocleidomastoid muscle during childbirth. Bleeding into the muscle occurs in a localized area, forming a hematoma (a small collection of blood). Later a solid mass develops because of necrosis (death) of muscle fibers and fibrosis (formation of fibrous tissue). Shortening of the muscle usually follows, which causes lateral bending of the head to the affected side and a slight turning away of the head from the side of the short muscle Although birth trauma is commonly considered as a cause of congenital torticollis, the fact that the condition has been observed in infants delivered by cesarean section suggests that there are other causes as well.
26
Cardiac Muscle
27
Cardiac Muscle Cardiac muscle develops from splanchnic mesoderm surrounding the endothelial heart tube. Heart muscle is recognizable in the fourth week. Cardiac muscle fibers arise by differentiation and growth of single cells, unlike striated skeletal muscle fibers, which develop by fusion of cells. The myoblasts adhere to each other as in developing skeletal muscle, but the intervening cell membranes do not disintegrate; these areas of adhesion give rise to intercalated discs. Myofibrils develop as in skeletal muscle, but myoblasts do not fuse. Late in the embryonic period, special bundles of muscle cells develop with relatively few myofibrils and relatively larger diameters than typical cardiac muscle fibers. These atypical cardiac muscle cells-Purkinje fibers-form the conducting system of the heart
28
Smooth Muscle Smooth muscle for the dorsal aorta and large arteries is derived from lateral plate mesoderm and neural crest cells. Smooth muscle in the coronary arteries originates from proepicardial cells and neural crest cells (proximal segments). Smooth muscle in the wall of the gut and gut derivatives is derived from the splanchnic layer of lateral plate mesoderm that surrounds these structures. Only the sphincter and dilator muscles of the pupil and muscle tissue in the mammary and sweat glands are derived from ectoderm.
