Anatomy, Embryology- Embryonic period(Week 4) Flashcards
Organogenesis
Formation of all organs from 3 germ layers.
Morphogenesis
Formation of the shape and general body from the embryo. By folding of the trilaminar plate.
Why is the embryonic period the most critical period of development?
- All organs begin to develop.
- The external body shape is formed.
- Congenital malformation usually occurs.
List the 3 germ layers required for organogenesis.
- Ectoderm
- Endoderm
- Mesoderm
List the 3 germ layers required for organogenesis.
- Ectoderm: Upper surface
- Endoderm: Lower surface
- Mesoderm: Middle surface
Ectoderm is divided into
Neuroectoderm(Midline) and surface ectoderm(peripheral).
What does the neuroectoderm form?
forms the neural tube and neural crest
Notochord
It induces differentiation from overlying ectoderm to neuroectoderm.
Derivatives of the neural tube.
- Brain
- Spinal cord
- Retina of eyes
- Posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
Derivatives of the neural crest.
Forms:
- All ganglia
a. Sensory Ganglia: Spinal and cranial.
b. Autonomic: Sympathetic and parasympathetic - Pia mater and arachnoid
- Schwann cells
- Suprarenal medulla
- Melanocytes
- Odontoblasts
- Facial skeleton
What is sensory ganglia?
Spinal ganglia and ganglia of cranial nerve
Where is neural crest located at?
Between neural groove and surface ectoderm.
What do placodes consist of?
- Olfactory
- Otic
What does olfactory placode form?
-Olfactory nerve and receptors.
What does otic placode form?
-Vestibulocochlear nerve and receptors.
What is surface ectoderm?
-Forms structures in contact with the outside world.
What does surface ectoderm form?
- Epidermis of the skin
- Appendages of the skin
- Sense organ
- Anterior lobe
- Salivary glands
- Lower 1/2 of the anal canal.
- Enamel of the teeth.
What do the appendages of the skin consist of?
- Hair and nails.
- Sebaceous and sweat glands.
- Mammary gland.
List the sense organs
- Eye: Lens and surface of the cornea.
- Ear: inner ear
- Nose: Epithelium of nasal cavity
List the three-part intraembryonic mesoderm is divided into.
- paraxial mesoderm
- intermediate mesoderm
- lateral plate mesoderm
What is the site of paraxial mesoderm?
- On each side of the notochord.
- Extends from the buccopharyngeal membrane to cleacal membrane.
Intermediate mesoderm
- In the middle. It is called nephrogenic cord.
- Forms the urogenital system: kidney and gonads.
