  2. Dermatome (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatome_(anatomy)

    Following is a list of spinal nerves and points that are characteristically belonging to the dermatome of each nerve: [4] Dermatomes of the lower limb (modified, from Fender, after Foerster) C2 – At least one cm lateral to the occipital protuberance at the base of the skull. Alternately, a point at least 3 cm (1.2 in) behind the ear.

  3. 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.

  4. Somite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somite

    The dermatome is the dorsal portion of the paraxial mesoderm somite which gives rise to the skin . In the human embryo, it arises in the third week of embryogenesis. [2] It is formed when a dermomyotome (the remaining part of the somite left when the sclerotome migrates), splits to form the dermatome and the myotome. [2]

  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. Cutaneous nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_nerve

    In human anatomy, cutaneous nerves are primarily responsible for providing cutaneous innervation, sensory innervation to the skin.In addition to sympathetic and autonomic afferent (sensory) fibers, most cutaneous nerves also contain sympathetic efferent (visceromotor) fibers, which innervate cutaneous blood vessels, sweat glands, and the arrector pilli muscles of hair follicles. [1]

  7. Dermatome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatome

    Dermatome may refer to: Dermatome (anatomy), an area of skin that is supplied by a single pair of dorsal roots; Dermatome (embryology), the portion of the embryonic paraxial mesoderm, the somite, which gives rise to dermis; Dermatome (instrument), a surgical instrument used to produce thin slices of skin

  9. Mesoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoderm

    The notochord and the neural tube activate the protein SHH, which helps the somite to form its sclerotome. The cells of the sclerotome express the protein PAX1 that induces the cartilage and bone formation. The neural tube activates the protein WNT1 that expresses PAX 2 so the somite creates the myotome and dermatome.
