further differentiates into the myo—tome and the dermatome.

      Cells of the myotome migrate ventrally to surround the in—traembryonic coelom and the somatic mesoderm of the ventrolateral body wall. These myoblasts elongate, become spindle—shaped, and fuse to form multinucleated muscle fibers.

      Myofibrils appear in the cytoplasm, and, by the third month, cross—striations appear. Individual muscle fibers increase in diameter as myofibrils multiply and become arranged in groups surrounded by mesenchyme.

      Individual muscles form, as well as tendons that connect muscle to bone.

      Trunk musculature: By the end of the fifth week, body—wall musculature divides into a dorsal epimere, supplied by the dorsal primary ramus of the spinal nerve, and a ventral hypomere, supplied by the ventral primary ramus.

      Epimere muscles form the extensor muscles of the vertebral column, and hypomere muscles give rise to lateral and ven tral flexor musculature.

      The hypomere splits into three layers. In the thorax, the three layers form the external costal, internal intercostal, and transverse thoracic muscle.

      In the abdomen, the three layers form the external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdomii muscles.

      Head musculature.

      The extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue are thought to be derived from occipital myotomes that migrate forward.

      The extrinsic muscles of the eye may derive from preop—tic myotomes that originally surround the prochordal plate.

      The muscles of mastication, facial expression, the pharynx, and the larynx are derived from different pharyngeal arches and maintain their innervation by the nerve of the arch of origin.

      Limb musculature originates in the seventh week from soma mesoderm that migrates into the limb bud. With time, the limb musculature splits into ventral flexor and dorsal extern groups.

      The limb is innervated by spinal nerves, which penetrate the limb bud mesodermal condensations. Segmental branches of the spinal nerves fuse to form large dorsal a ventral nerves.

      The cutaneous innervation of the limbs is also derived from spinal nerves and reflects the level at which the limbs arise.

      Smooth muscle: the smooth muscle coats of the gut, trachtea, bronchi, and blood vessels of the associated mesenteries are derived from splanchnic mesoderm surrounding the gastrointestinal tract. Vessels elsewhere in the body obtain their coat from local mesenchyme.

      Cardiac muscle, like smooth muscle, is derived from splanchnic mesoderm.

      10. Skeleton

      The bones of our body make up a skeleton. The skeleton forms about 18 % of the weight of the human body.

      The skeleton of the trunk mainly consists of spinal column made of a number of bony segments called vertebrae to which the head, the thoracic cavity and the pelvic bones are connected. The spinal column consists of 26 spinal column bones.

      The human vertebrae are divided into differentiated groups. The seven most superior of them are the vertebrae called the cervical vertebrae. The first cervical vertebra is the atlas. The second vertebra is called the axis.

      Inferior to the cervical vertebrae are twelve thoracic vertebrae. There is one rib connected to each thoracic vertebrae, making 12 pairs of ribs. Most of the rib pairs come together ventrally and join a flat bone called the sternum.

      The first pairs or ribs are short. All seven pairs join the sternum directly and are sometimes called the «true ribs». Pairs 8, 9, 10 are «false ribs». The eleventh and twelfth pairs of ribs are the «floating ribs».

      Inferior to the thoracic vertebrae are five lumbar vertebrae. The lumbar vertebrae are the largest and the heaviest of the spinal column. Inferior to the lumbar vertebrae are five sacral vertebrae forming a strong bone in adults. The most inferior group of vertebrae are four small vertebrae forming together the соссуж.

      The vertebral column is not made up of bone alone. It also has cartilages.

      11. Muscles

      Muscles are the active part of the motor apparatus; their contraction produces various movements.

      The muscles may be divided from a physiological standpoint into two classes: the voluntary muscles, which are under the control of the will, and the involuntary muscles, which are not.

      All muscular tissues are controlled by the nervous system.

      When muscular tissue is examined under the microscope, it is seen to be made up of small, elongated threadlike cells, which arc called muscle fibres, and which are bound into bundles by connective tissue.

      There are three varieties of muscle fibres:

      1) striated muscle fibres, which occur in voluntary muscles;

      2) unstriated muscles which bring about movements in the internal organs;

      3) cardiac or heart fibres, which are striated like (1), but are otherwise different.

      Muscle consists of threads, or muscle fibers, supported by connective tissue, which act by fiber contraction. There are two types of muscles smooth and striated. Smooth, muscles are found in the walls of all the hollow organs and tubes of the body, such as blood vessels and intestines. These react slowly to stimuli from the autonomic nervous system. The striated, muscles of the body mostly attach to the bones and move the skeleton. Under the microscope their fibres have a cross – striped appearance. Striated muscle is capable of fast contractions. The heart wall is made up of special type of striated muscle fibres called cardiac
