Charles Darwin (1809-1882) 3D ATLAS OF HUMAN EMBRYOLOGY Abstract Congenital muscle diseases, such as myopathies or dystrophies, occur relatively frequent with estimated incidences of up to 4.7 per 100.000 newborns. To diagnose congenital diseases in the early stages of pregnancy, and to interpret the results of increasingly advanced in utero imaging techniques, profound knowledge of normal human morphological development of the locomotor system and the nervous system is necessary. Muscular development however, is an often neglected or only generally described topic in embryology textbooks and papers. To provide the required detailed and updated comprehensive picture of embryologic muscular anatomy, three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions were created based on serial histological sections of a human embryo at Carnegie stage 23 (eight weeks of development, crown-rump length of 23.8 mm), using Amira reconstruction software. Reconstructed muscles, tendons, bones and nerves were exported in a 3D-PDF file to permit interactive viewing. Almost all adult skeletal muscles of the trunk and limbs could be individually identified in their relative adult position. The pectoralis major muscle was divided in three separate muscle heads. The reconstructions showed remarkable highly developed extraocular, infrahyoid and suprahyoid muscles at this age but surprisingly also absence of the facial muscles that were described to be present at this stage of development. The overall stage of muscle development suggests heterochrony of skeletal muscle development. Several individual muscle groups were found to be developed earlier and in more detail than was described in current literature. Introduction Congenital muscle diseases, such as myopathies or dystrophies, occur relatively frequent and form a heavy burden for society but firstly for the affected child and its family. Global incidences of congenital muscular dystrophies are unknown, but described incidences of 4.7 live born per 100.000 inhabitants in north-eastern Italy between 1979-1993 (Mostacciuolo et al. 1996) and a prevalence of 3.95 cases per 100.000 inhabitants in northern England (Norwood et al. 2009) provide an indication. An epidemiological study of neuromuscular disorders in children under the age of 16 in western Sweden showed a prevalence of 63.1 per 100.000 inhabitants (Darin, Tulinius 2000). Comprehensive understanding of congenital muscle diseases requires knowledge of muscle anatomy and physiology. In adults, imaging techniques such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are already contributing to diagnose the type of muscle disease (Wattjes, Kley & Fischer 2010) and could therefore also be used for in-utero imaging. However, little is known about late embryonic morphological development. Since fetal medicine is developing rapidly (Danzer, Johnson 2014, Moldenhauer 2014) and prenatal diagnostics are regularly performed in modern medical practice, the need for detailed anatomical knowledge in clinical settings becomes more pressing. Because skeletal muscles contribute significantly to the total volume of the human body, they can often be used as anatomical landmarks (De Battista et al. 2011). Accurate knowledge of late embryonic and fetal spatial anatomic relations is therefore crucial for effectively interpreting high resolution prenatal imaging techniques. Procedures such as sonography or fetoscopy during prenatal 234 Hitherto unknown detailed muscle anatomy in an 8 weeks old embryo diagnostics and fetal surgery can even predict embryonic health, as it is already in use for fetal health (Hutchinson, Kieser & Kramer 2014, D'Addario et al. 2005). Morphological muscle development is an often neglected or vaguely described topic in embryology textbooks and articles (Deries, Thorsteinsdottir 2016, Pu, Huang & Brand-Saberi 2016, Schoenwolf et al. 2009, Sadler 2012). Based on our experience in creating the 3D Atlas of Human Embryology (de Bakker et al. 2016), we hypothesized that human embryonic muscle anatomy is more advanced than would be concluded from descriptions in literature. To provide a more detailed and comprehensive picture of embryonic muscular anatomy, we used Amira reconstruction software to create three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions based on serial histological sections of a human embryo at Carnegie stage 23 (CS23, eight weeks of development), the final stage of embryonic development, with a crown-rump length of 23.8 mm. Reconstructed muscles, tendons, bones and nerves were exported in a 3D-PDF file to permit interactive investigation of the morphology of skeletal muscles at CS23. Comprehensive muscle reconstructions are novel to our knowledge and were not included in previous publications from our research group. Materials and Methods 3D Reconstructions Image acquisition and alignment was done as previously described by de Bakker et al. (2016, 2012). Digital images were captured from the series of sections of a CS23 specimen number 950 of the Carnegie collection in Silver Spring, MD, USA. This male specimen was collected after a miscarriage in 1914 and has been graded by specialists of the Carnegie collection as ‘good’ (O'Rahilly, Müller 1987). This specimen was fixed in formalin, transversally sectioned in 42.71 µm and then stained with an aluminum cochineal staining (de Bakker et al. 2016, O'Rahilly, Müller 1987). Based on the section 4.2 thickness and number of slices we calculated an approximate crown-rump length of 23.8 mm. Labeling of the 557 serial sections was accomplished by trained medical students, under the supervision of a physical therapist and four experienced embryologists. Skeletal muscles and tendons were manually segmented, with a Bamboo tablet and pen (http://www.wacom.com) based on digital images of the serial sections. Segmentation of structures on the serial sections was performed on grey scale images in Amira® software (version 5.3 - 5.6, http://www.amira.com), while the high-resolution full color dataset was displayed on a second computer screen. This way, every single muscle, including its tendons, was traced from origin to insertion. The nerves and bones of this specimen were already reconstructed in previous studies (de Bakker et al. 2016, de Bakker et al. 2012) and could therefore give 6.1 information about the topographic position of muscles relative to bones or nerves. The use of bones and nerves as anatomical landmarks allowed distinction between different types of tissues and provided topographical orientation throughout the body. If demarcation between individual muscles was not possible, muscles were labeled as muscle groups. Structure identification After reconstructing, muscles and tendons were identified using adult human anatomy atlases (Gilroy et al. 2009, Netter 2014, Drake et al. 2014) by establishing their origin and insertion and topographic relation to bones, nerves and surrounding organs. English names of the muscles were used, based on ‘Terminologia Anatomica’ (Baud, Neumann & Sprumont 1998). 235 3D ATLAS OF HUMAN EMBRYOLOGY Interactive 3D-PDF Amira surface files of the 3D reconstructions were converted to a .u3d file with Fiji (ImageJ, https://imagej.net). Deep Exploration (version 6.5 CSE, part of Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5 http://www.corel.com) was used for grouping and labeling of structures. Finally, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (http://www.adobe.com) allowed to create an interactive 3D-PDF file containing all reconstructed structures and a custom user interface. A 3D-PDF can be viewed with a recent version of Adobe Reader® (X or higher, freeware, http://www.adobe.com) on MS Windows or MacOS systems, with javascript and playing of 3D content enabled. The Adobe Reader program allows users to not only view the 3D-PDF file, but also to zoom in or out on a structure, to hide it or to show it transparently. It provides the user with a clear view of the embryo in a 3D interactive fashion and thus to obtain a better understanding of the spatial relations between segmented organs and structures, in this case the musculoskeletal system in the embryo. This technique has proved its usefulness in earlier publications (de Bakker et al. 2016, de Bakker et al. 2012, Sizarov et al. 2011, Sizarov et al. 2012, de Boer et al. 2011, van den Berg et al. 2009, van den Berg, Moorman 2011).

  • Appendix B: Muscles of the Speech Production Mechanism
    Appendix B: Muscles of the Speech Production Mechanism I. MUSCLES OF RESPIRATION A. MUSCLES OF INHALATION (muscles that enlarge the thoracic cavity) 1. Diaphragm Attachments: The diaphragm originates in a number of places: the lower tip of the sternum; the first 3 or 4 lumbar vertebrae and the lower borders and inner surfaces of the cartilages of ribs 7 - 12. All fibers insert into a central tendon (aponeurosis of the diaphragm). Function: Contraction of the diaphragm draws the central tendon down and forward, which enlarges the thoracic cavity vertically. It can also elevate to some extent the lower ribs. The diaphragm separates the thoracic and the abdominal cavities. 2. External Intercostals Attachments: The external intercostals run from the lip on the lower border of each rib inferiorly and medially to the upper border of the rib immediately below. Function: These muscles may have several functions. They serve to strengthen the thoracic wall so that it doesn't bulge between the ribs. They provide a checking action to counteract relaxation pressure. Because of the direction of attachment of their fibers, the external intercostals can raise the thoracic cage for inhalation. 3. Pectoralis Major Attachments: This muscle attaches on the anterior surface of the medial half of the clavicle, the sternum and costal cartilages 1-6 or 7. All fibers come together and insert at the greater tubercle of the humerus. Function: Pectoralis major is primarily an abductor of the arm. It can, however, serve as a supplemental (or compensatory) muscle of inhalation, raising the rib cage and sternum. (In other words, breathing by raising and lowering the arms!) It is mentioned here chiefly because it is encountered in the dissection.

Enlist the layers of the face and recognize their importance 3. Recognize the groups of the muscles of facial expression its origin ,insertion and function 4. Test the muscle of facial expression clinically 5. Discuss some clinical notes regarding the face Extends from lower border of mandible to the hair line (forehead is common for face and scalp) and laterally to the ear auricle Layers Of the Face 1.SKIN The face has elastic and vascular skin. The skin of the face has large number of sweat and sebaceous glands. The sebaceous glands keep the face greasy by their secretion and sweat glands help modulate the body temperature *Applied Anatomy :Face is also the common site for acne as a result of presence of large number of sebaceous glands in this region. 2. SUPERFICIAL FASIA It includes muscles of facial expression, vessels and nerves and varying amount of fat. The fat is absent in the eyelids but is well grown in cheeks creating buccal pad of fat, which gives rounded contour to cheeks. 3. DEEP FASCIA The deep fascia is absent in the region of face with the exception of over the parotid gland and masseter muscle that are covered by parotidomasseteric fascia. The absence of deep fascia in the face is important for the facial expression. The majority of them originate from bones of the skull and are added into the skin.

  • Anatomy and Physiology of the Velopharyngeal Mechanism
    Anatomy and Physiology of the Velopharyngeal Mechanism Jamie L. Perry, Ph.D.1 ABSTRACT Understanding the normal anatomy and physiology of the velopharyngeal mechanism is the first step in providing appropriate diagnosis and treatment for children born with cleft lip and palate. The velopharyngeal mechanism consists of a muscular valve that extends from the posterior surface of the hard palate (roof of mouth) to the posterior pharyngeal wall and includes the velum (soft palate), lateral pharyngeal walls (sides of the throat), and the posterior pharyngeal wall (back wall of the throat). The function of the velopharyngeal mechanism is to create a tight seal between the velum and pharyngeal walls to separate the oral and nasal cavities for various purposes, including speech. Velopharyngeal closure is accomplished through the contraction of several velopharyngeal muscles including the levator veli palatini, musculus uvulae, superior pharyngeal con- strictor, palatopharyngeus, palatoglossus, and salpingopharyngeus. The tensor veli palatini is thought to be responsible for eustachian tube function. KEYWORDS: Anatomy, physiology, velopharyngeal muscles, cleft palate anatomy Downloaded by: SASLHA.
