Summary Introduction

To review:

Match the term shoulder with the most closely related description given below:

Tibia

Pectoral girdle

Radius

Phalanges

Pelvic girdle

Femur

Infraspinous fossa

Calcaneus

Ilium

Humerus

Introduction:

The upper limb skeleton is mostly composed of the carpal bones (present in the wrist), the metacarpals and phalanges (present in the hand), the humerus (present in the arm), and the ulna and radius (present in the forearm). Both the arms join the trunk through the shoulder girdle. It is also known as the pectoral girdle and is composed of the scapula and the clavicle.

Explanation of Solution

The scapula of the pectoral girdle joins the humerus at the shoulder joint, also known as the glenohumeral joint. The acromion and the coracoid structures of the scapula attach the tendons and ligaments of the glenohumeral joint. The clavicle joins the axial skeleton with the pectoral girdle. Thus, the bones of the pectoral girdle (scapula and clavicle) hold the shoulder joint in place.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that the term shoulder can be correctly matched with option (b) pectoral girdle.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
