How does the ossa coxae compare in the fetal skeleton and adult skeleton?

In the fetal skeleton, the ossa coxae (hip bones) are not fully fused, and they consist of three separate bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis. In the adult skeleton, these three bones have fused together to form a single hip bone. Additionally, the acetabulum, the socket where the femur connects to the hip bone, is not fully developed in the fetal skeleton but is complete in the adult skeleton.


Does fetal and adult skull have the same bones?

The fetal skeleton is much softer, it has far more bones which fuse by adulthood. also the proporions are much more different, the skull of a fetus is much big in comparison to its body. obviously the fetal skeleton is much much smaller and is more fraile.as development of the facial area of a human develop, the head becomes much less round (so a fetal skeleton would have a rounder head). the face also becomes more defined and features more noticable. I hope this helps.


Is the skeleton cartilaginous or bony during fetal development?

The skeleton is originally cartilaginous during fetal development. Over time, the cartilage is replaced by bone in a process called endochondral ossification, where bone tissue gradually forms and replaces the cartilage framework.


Why does the fetal skeleton have more bones?

As an infant and child's body develops and grows its bones slowly conjoin together so to become sturdier as it learns more rigorous movements and exercises. This is over the course of a childhood, obviously, and not just a few years. In fact your bones still grow together a tiny bit each year until you're an adult, and maybe slightly further afterwards, too.


Why is a transplant consisting of fetal tissue less likely to provoke an immune rejection response than tissue from an adult?

Fetal tissue has lower levels of antigens, which are markers that the immune system recognizes as foreign. This makes fetal tissue less likely to provoke an immune response compared to adult tissue, which has a higher amount of antigens. Fetal tissue also has a higher ability to induce immune tolerance.

What are the characteristics in the fetal pig?

Some key characteristics of fetal pigs include their small size, lack of fur, closed eyes and ears, underdeveloped limbs, and presence of umbilical cord attached to the placenta. Fetal pigs also have a developing skeletal structure, digestive system, and circulatory system.


How does fetal circulation differ from the circulation pattern after birth?

In fetal circulation, the placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, so the lungs are not used for oxygen exchange - instead, a bypass called the ductus arteriosus shunts blood away from the lungs. After birth, the lungs take over oxygen exchange, the ductus arteriosus closes, and the foramen ovale between the atria closes, redirecting blood flow through the heart to support pulmonary circulation.
