True or false. Closure of the two pores is unimportant.

A

False. The closure of the 2 pores is extremely important

154
Q

If anterior pore fails to close

A

Anencephaly

155
Q

Which neuropore should close first anterior or posterior?

A

Anterior should close first

156
Q

If posterior pore fails to close

A

Spina bfida

157
Q

What are the differences between 25 day and 28 day embryo?

A

1) increase in size
2) Umbilical cord formation
3) Closure of neuropores
4) Otic placode give rise to eyes and
ears
5) limb ridges appear
6) increase in somite number

158
Q

Sympathetic ganglion

A

Autonomic part and is derived from neural crest cells

159
Q

Formation and migration of Neural crest cells happens during

A

neural tube closure

160
Q

BMPs and FGFs regulate the
whole process( formation and migration of neural crest cells), why?

A

Because they play role in ventralizing the mesoderm, so this is part of the mesoderm cells as well at this point in time, they are derived from the developing
neural tube, they have the ability to shift their profile to become neural crest cell and go to that mesoderm layer and innervate the structure that they are gonna develop to

161
Q

Dorsal root ganglion

A

A sensory gateway/door that collects info and it send to the brain (Dorsal root ganglion is formed from neural crest cells

162
Q

Preaortic ganglion

A

Control vasodilation and vasoconstriction (part of the nervous system)

163
Q

Enteric ganglia

A

Going to GI tract, excelling GI tract to inc or dec digestion (controlled by nervous system also)

164
Q

Neural tube will give rise to

A

brain and spinal cord

165
Q

Locations of somites and what they will form

A

Most ventral somite -> Sclerotome
Dorsal medial & ventral lateral -> muscles Middorsal -> dermatome

166
Q

This is the ventral lateral part of the somite It requires which Transcription factor?

A

MYOD

167
Q

What regulates that expression( of MYOD) ?

A

WNT from the ectoderm, and lateral plate mesoderm will secrete BMP4 to express MYOD as as well

168
Q

This is the middorsal part of the somite
It requires which Transcription factor?

A

PAX3

169
Q

What regulates expression of PAX3?

A

NT- 3 coming from dorsal side of N.T

170
Q

This part will form the sclerotome
What transcription factor is required in order differentiate somites into sclerotome?

A

PAX1

171
Q

What induces expression of PAX1?

A

SHH and Noggin

172
Q

Where is the SHH and Noggin coming from?

A

Ventral part of the neural tube and notochord

173
Q

This layer is attached to the endoderm and incorporated within the developing embryo. Which layer is it?

A

Visceral mesoderm layer

174
Q

This is the dorsal medial part
It requires which Transcription factor?

A

MYF

175
Q

What regulates expression of MYF?

A

WNT coming from the dorsal side of N.T in addition to SHH from notochord and ventral part of N.t

176
Q

Gonads develop from the intermediate mesoderm BUT there is an exception

A

(Bladder and urethra) they develop from endoderm

177
Q

What is true during the 9th week?

A

All systems are in place and completed development but now are maturing and increasing in size

178
Q

What is not fully incorporated in a developing fetus?

A

Herniated intestinal loops

179
Q

Is the intra-embryonic mesoderm inside the baby? And what does it give rise to?

A

Yes. give rise to Paraxial Intermediate Lateral

180
Q

When lateral splits it will give rise to

A

lining of the gut and membranes around body wall
