Muscle Development Study Questions

This document contains 4 study questions about the embryonic origin of different muscles. Question 1 asks about the origin of the extrinsic eye muscles, which develop from the preotic somites. Question 2 is about the tongue muscles, which originate from the occipital somites. Question 3 and 4 both concern flexor muscles - the biceps brachii develops from the anterior condensation, and the biceps femoris also comes from the anterior condensation. The document also provides answers and explanations for each question.

Answers and Explanations

1. E.  The extrinsic eye muscles arise from the preotic somites (myotomes) found near the
­ rochordal plate. Recent research indicates that the extrinsic eye muscles are derived from
p
­somitomeres 1–3, and 5.
2. D.  The tongue muscles (intrinsic and extrinsic) arise from the occipital somites (myotomes).
3. C.  Because the biceps brachii muscle is a flexor of the antebrachium (forearm), it develops from
the anterior condensation of myotomic mesoderm.
4. C.  Because the biceps femoris muscle is a flexor of the leg, it develops from the anterior
­condensation of myotomic mesoderm.
