  2. Myotome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myotome

    A myotome is the group of muscles that a single spinal nerve innervates. [1] Similarly a dermatome is an area of skin that a single nerve innervates with sensory fibers. Myotomes are separated by myosepta (singular: myoseptum). [2] In vertebrate embryonic development, a myotome is the part of a somite that develops into muscle.

  3. Somite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somite

    The myotome is that part of a somite that forms the muscles of the animal. [2] Each myotome divides into an epaxial part (epimere), at the back, and a hypaxial part (hypomere) at the front. [2] The myoblasts from the hypaxial division form the muscles of the thoracic and anterior abdominal walls.

  4. Denervation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denervation

    The type of symptoms experienced can depend on which particular areas of the body experience the loss in nerve supply. This process of denervation is however different from post-polio syndrome in that it only involves upper and lower motor neuron degeneration and does not experience a process of constant reinnervation and denervation. [9]

  5. Cutaneous innervation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_innervation

    The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is divided into the somatic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system.However, it is the somatic nervous system, responsible for body movement and the reception of external stimuli, which allows one to understand how cutaneous innervation is made possible by the action of specific sensory fibers located on the skin, as well ...

  6. Myotome (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myotome_(disambiguation)

    Myotome is the group of muscles that a single spinal nerve root innervates. Myotome may also refer to: Myotome (embryology) , part of a somite that forms the muscles of the animal

  7. Motor unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_unit

    In biology, a motor unit is made up of a motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers innervated by the neuron's axon terminals, including the neuromuscular junctions between the neuron and the fibres. [1]

  8. Somitogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somitogenesis

    In somitogenesis, somites form from the paraxial mesoderm, a particular region of mesoderm in the neurulating embryo.This tissue undergoes convergent extension as the primitive streak regresses, or as the embryo gastrulates.

  9. Notochord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notochord

    Notochord is positioned just ventral to the neural tube and dorsal to the gut, flanked by myotome. (D) Notochord homolog in annelid. Cross-section showing the position of the proposed axochord to the ventral mesentery, blood vessel, and nerve chord.
