From which embryonic cell layer are skeletal muscles cells derived?
The embryonic mesodermal layer -
What are the precursors of satelite cells?
myoblasts that retain mitotic potential. -
Name the order of development of a muscle cell from stem cell to myofiber.
- mesodermal stem cell
- myoblast
- primary myotube
- secondary myotube
- myofiber
-
What is special about the connection between primary and secondary myotubes?
They share the same basement membrane, until further development seperates the tubes by personal membranes. -
The soleus has mainly slow twitch fibers, what is thought about the origin of the soleus myofibers?
They probably originate from primary myotubes. -
When during the gestation period are the first contractile elements formed?
Around the ninth week of gestation. -
Which factors initiate the transition from myoblasts to myotubes?
myf genes like myf5, myoD, MRF4 and myogenin -
Which factor inhibits the transition from myoblast to myotube?
Myostatin, it inhibits the function of myoD -
When during the gestation do myotubes start to proliferate?
From 11 weeks onward -
When during the gestation do tertiary myotubes occur?
Around the 16th week.
