(3) Formation Of The Body Cavity (Keim) Flashcards
What weeks are embryonic development occuring?
3-8
What events are occuring during embryonic development?
Growth
Morphogenesis
Differentiation
When does folding of the embryo occur?
Week 4
Within what plane do the head and tail folding occur?
Median plane

Describe when and where the heart can initially be seen:
Heart can be seen in front of the oropharyngeal membrane
in the EARLY 4th week
What is the septum transversum going to become?
The diaphragm
Describe the folding relationship between the developing heart and the septum transversum
The septum transversum flips under the heart
This causes final location UNDER THE HEART

The foregut gives rise to:
Some GI Structures
The _______ overgrows the heart and septum transversum
Forebrain

The ______ overgrows the cloaca and connecting stalk
Forebrain

During week 4, describe a major communication event:
Intraembryonic coelom is communicating with the extraembryonic coelom
HORIZONTAL FOLDING
Where would the somatic and splanchnic layers of lateral plate mesoderm be located in the inital stage of horizontal folding?

HORIZONTAL FOLDING
Where is the intraembryonic coelom?

HORIZONTAL FOLDING
What is the end result?
Formation of the Intraembryonic Coelom
(Midgut)

HORIZONTAL FOLDING
Technically, what is the intraembryonic coelom?
Space b/w the splanchnic and somatic portions of lateral plate mesoderm

HORIZONTAL FOLDING
What does the intraembryonic coelom communicate with?
Extraembryonic coelom
What is the splanchnopleura?
Splanchnic layer of the lateral plate mesoderm and the endoderm making up the yolk sack adjacent

What is the somatopleura?
Made up of somatic lateral plate mesoderm and ectoderm surrounding the amniotic cavity

Where is the splanchnic portion of the lateral plate mesoderm?
Adjacent to the yolk sac

Where does pinching off and formation of body cavities occur?
Where the umbillical cord IS NOT!!!
The sides come down and pinch off, forming the structures seen in the image

What is ectopia cordis?
Heart forms outside the body

What are the results of ectopia cordis?
- Heart formed outside body
- No pericardium
- Will be a bifed sternum
- Can result in death
