Central tendon of diaphragm develops from
High-Yield Explanation
Development of DiaphragmSeptum transversum: it is a mass of mesodermal tissue arising from the coelomic wall at the 4th week of gestation. It forms the central tendon of the diaphragm.Dorsal meso-esophagus forms the median poion of diaphragm and the crurae.Cervical myotomes (from C3-C5 somites) of lateral body wall form the peripheral pas of the diaphragm.Pleuro-peritoneal membranes.Chromosome 15q plays a major role in diaphragm developmentDuring the initial period of development, it lies at a higher level (cervical) and then migrates caudally and hence the nerve supply is from C3, C4, C5 (Phrenic nerve).Embryonic structuresAdult derivativesSeptum transversumCentral tendon of the diaphragmPleuroperitoneal membranesSmall peripheral pa of the diaphragmDorsal mesentery of esophagusCrura of the diaphragmMesoderm of the body wallLarge peripheral pas of diaphragm external to pas derived from pleuroperitoneal membranes
