Development of the Musculoskeletal System

  • Chapter
Musculoskeletal Research and Basic Science

Abstract

Development of the musculoskeletal system is a complex series of events during the intrauterine life. In this section, we discuss the development of the musculoskeletal system, give brief information on the molecules affecting the development, and give some information on anomalies regarding the musculoskeletal system.
