Embryology: Musculoskeletal System and Body Cavities

Embryology · Basic Sciences

How it begins

El sistema musculoesquelético deriva fundamentalmente del mesodermo paraxial , cuya aparición es inseparable del proceso de gastrulación que ocurre a partir del inicio de la tercera semana del desarrollo (días 14–21). Durante la gastrulación, el epiblasto bilaminar experimenta una transición epitelio-mesénquima (TEM) en una región especializada denominada línea primitiva , una estructura dinámica que se extiende…
