Intro
Limbs
Limbs grow out of the body wall
Upper limbs: segments C5 to T1
Lower limbs: Segments L2 to S3
Lateral outgrowths
Rotate to gain final position
The foot is not the lower end of the
body
Embryonic position and rotation
The thumb and the big toe point towards the head end
Little finger and little toe point towards the tail end
If we consider the axis (centre line) of the limbs:
Limbs have preaxial (cranial) and postaxial (caudal) borders
Thumb and great toe are preaxial
Little finger and little tow are postaxial
Muscles Groups
