1. Formation of the Body Cavities Flashcards
What are the three phases of organ development during weeks 3-8 of embryonic development?
- Growth
- Morphogenisis
- Differentiation
What occurs during the three phases of organ development?
- Grow, cells growing
- Morphogenisis: where tissue and organs get their size and shape, controlled by gene expression
- Differentiation: Cells turn on genes to become a certain organ of the body
*all phases are interconnected
Folding of the embryo occurs during week four (along with the organs forming) and has two planes. What are the two planes and when do they fold?
The medial plane and horizontal plane and they fold at the same time during the fourth week
Refesher question: What occurs during weeks 1-3 during embryonic development?
Week 1: First layer is made
Week 2: Bilameter disk is formed (two layers)
Week 3: Gastrulation occurs, trilameter disk
What plane does head and tail folding occur in?
Median plane
Oropharyngeal membrane is the location of the future, infront of the future mouth is the heart and what lays behind?
The septum transversum- becomes the diaphragm
Where is the location of the septum transversum during early 4th week and later 4th week?
Early 4th week septum is located anterior to the oropharyngeal membrane and developing heart
Late 4th week septum is posterior to the oropharyngeal membrane and developing heart
The head and tail fold inwards during median/longitudinal folding, leading to many things, including forced out endoderm. What does this end up making?
This folding at the head region makes the foregut, in the middle is the mid gut (horizontal) and at the tail end is the hindgut
What is extremely important to remember regarding embryonic coelom?
Intraembryonic coelom and extraembryonic coelom communicate with eachother! occuring in the head
The spinal cord overgrows the tail and pushes cloaca and connecting stock onto the ventral surface. What is the endoderm associated with in the tail region?
The hindgut
Summarize longitudinal/median folding during week 4 of embryonic development (2)
- Spinal cord grows causing both head and tail ends to fold inwards
- Folding inwards cause endoderm to be push out, forming the guts, as well as the septum transversum moving from anterior to posterior.
What does the allantois, connecting stock, cloacal membrane, and nueral tube form?
Allantois: becomes urachus (bladder), sets foundation for umbilical arteris and veins
Connecting: diverticulum from yoke sac, made from extraembryonic mesoderm, becomes the umbilical cord
Cloacal membrane: mades from endo and ectoderm, will become the anus
Nueral tube: becomes the brain
What are the three components of the mesoderm?
Paraxial mesoderm (somites)
Intermediate mesoderm
Lateral plate mesoderm (has splanchinic layer and somatic layer)
What is the main location of splanchnic mesoderm and somatic mesoderm once 4th week folding is complete?
Splanchnic mesoderm will be located around the umbilical vessel/midgut while the somatic mesoderm will be located around the body
What forms when the splanchnic mesoderm goes down and fuses from both sides?
Intraembryonic coelom
What is considered the splanchopluera?
The midgut (endoderm) and the splanchnic mesoderm lining it (lines dorsal mesentary)
What is considered to be the somatopleura?
Ectoderm and somatic mesoderm (lines body wall)
