8. Skeletal system

The components of the skeletal system are derived from mesenchymal elements that arise from mesoderm and neural crest. Mesenchymal cells differentiate into fibroblasts, chondroblasts, and osteoblasts, which produce connective tissue, cartilage, and bone tissue, respectively. Bone either organs develop directly in mesenchymal connective tissue (intramembranous ossification) or from preformed cartilage models (endochondral ossification). The splanch nic meso-derm gives rise to cardiac and smooth muscle.

The skeletal system develops from paraxial mesoderm. By the end of the fourth week, the sclerotome cells form embryonic connective tissue, known as mesenchyme. Mesenchyme cells migrate and differentiate to form fibroblasts, chondroblasts, or osteoblasts.

Bone organs are formed by two methods.

Flat bones are formed by a process known as intra-membinous ossification, in which bones develop directly within mesenchyme.

Long bones are formed by a process known as en-dochondral ossification, in which mesenchymal cells give rise to hyaline cartilage models that subsequently become ossified.

Skull formation.

The neurocranium is divided into two portions: The membranous neurocranium consists of flat bones that surround the brain as a vault. The bones appose one another at sutures and fontanelles, which allow overlap of bones during birth and remain membranous until adulthood.

The cartilaginous neurocranium (chondro-cranium) of the base of the skull is formed by fusion and ossification of number of separate cartilages along the median plate.

Viscerocranium arises primarily from the first two pharynge arches.

Appendicular system: The pectoral and pelvic girdles and the limbs comprise the appendicular system.

Except for the clavicle, most bones of the system are end chondral. The limbs begin as mesenchymal buds with an apical ectodermal ridge covering, which exerts an inductive influence over the mesenchyme.

Bone formation occurs by ossification of hyaline cartilage models.

The cartilage that remains between the diaphysis and the epiphyses of a long bone is known as the epiphysial plate. It is the site of growth of long bones until they achieve their final size and the epiphysial plate disappears.

Vertebral column.

During the fourth week, sclerotome cells migrate medially to surround the spinal cord and notochord. After proliferation of the caudal portion of the sclerotomes, the vertebrae are formed, each consisting of the caudal part of one sclerotome and cephalic part of the next.

While the notochord persists in the areas of the vertebral bod ies, it degenerates between them, forming the nucleus pulposus. The latter, together with circular surrounding fibers of the annulus fibrosis, forms the intervertebral disc.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Microrobot HAMR-JR 14.06.2020

Developed by scientists from Harvard, the HAMR-JR microrobot is only 2,25 centimeters long and weighs about 0,3 grams - no more than a penny coin. It can move at about 14 body lengths per second, making it not only one of the smallest, but also one of the fastest microrobots. The new model is one of the most agile micro-robots to date.

One of the main questions discussed in the study was whether the manufacturing process used to build previous versions of the HAMR and other microrobots, including the RoboBee, could be used to build robots of varying scale, from tiny surgical robots to large-scale industrial robots.

PC-MEMS is a fabrication process in which the components of a robot are engraved into a XNUMXD sheet and then extruded into its XNUMXD structure. To build the HAMR-JR, the researchers simply scaled down the robot's XNUMXD design - complete with actuators and embedded circuitry - to recreate a smaller robot with the same features as its larger counterparts. At the same time, scientists did not have to change anything in the previous design.

Zooming out changes some of the principles that govern things like stride length and joint stiffness, so the researchers also developed a model that can predict movement metrics like running speed, leg strength, and payload from a target. The model can then be used to design a system with the desired features.
