2. Body Folding & Body Cavities Flashcards
what are the 3 phases of embryonic development
growth - cell division & elaboration of cell products
morphogenesis - develop shape, size, etc based on gene expression & regulation
differentiation - cells organize in precise pattern of tissure & organ
what makes the intraembryonic coelom
small spaces in central mesoderm grow and combine to make a U-shape
what does the IE coelom divide
divides lateral mesoderm into -
- somatic layer (parietal) - continous w/ EE mesoderm covering amnion
- splanchnic layer (visceral) - continous w/ EE mesoderm covering umbilical vesicle
what is the somatopleure
somatic mesoderm & embryonic ectoderm
- form body wall
what is the splanchnopleure
splanchnic mesoderm & underlying endoderm
-form embryonic gut
What drives the formation of the fetal position?
Growth at different paces
Development of the brain occurs faster than others driving the folding into fetal position. Lateral edges lag behind
what are the steps of cranial folding
& what is the result
week 4 (22 days) embryo elongate cranially & caudally - neural tube & developing brain tissue grows into amniotic cavity
grow over the orophayngeal mem
- places mouth in correct direction
- moves septum transversum, primordial heart, & pericardial coelom)
- forms foregut- primordium of pharynx, esophagus & lower resp system
what happens to the IE coelom after cranial folding
IE coelom repositioned into “folded U” & IE & EE coeloms in communication (caudal peritoneal cavity positioned to where IE & EE are continous)
folded U = pericaridal cavity (anterior) & 2 pericardioperitoneal canals on either side of (dorsal) forgut
what are the steps of tail folding
& what are the results
- downgrowth of SC primordium into amniotic cavity
- overgrowth & fold over cloacal membrane–> becomes anus
- reposition: hindgut (endoderm)
- primitive streak lies caudal after folding
- terminal hindgut dilate –> make cloaca = rudiment urinary bladder/rectum
what are the steps of lateral folding
- somatopleure extend ventrally from each side meet at midline & fuse ==> cylindrical embryo
- splanchnic later enclose developing gut (now gut surrounded by splanchnic medosderm for visceral layer)
Rapid growth of what produces the left and right lateral folds?
spinal cord and somites
What is the midgut connected to and when does it separate?
yolk sac,
separates during the 5th week of development
What is gastroschisis?
extrusion of abdominal contents thru abd folds
not covered by peritoneum –> bowel exposed to amniotic fluid which is salty & corrosive (intrauterine consequence)
occurs to the right of the umbilical cord rather than midline
failure of lateral body fold to fuse when ant abd wall forms during 4th week
What is a congenital epigastric hernia?
MIDLINE bulge of abdominal wall btn xiphoid process and umbilicus
bowel NOT exposed to amniotic fluid bc it is covered by skin and subcutaneous tissues
pleuroperitonial folds didnt fuse with septum transversum
what cavities make up the IE coelom
pericardial cavity
pleural cavity
peritoneal cavity
