Basics Of Embryology IIII Flashcards
What germ layers form during gastrulation?
All of them
What germ layer is involved in neurulation
Ectoderm
What germ layer is involved in notochord formation?
Mesoderm
What is the body plan?
Tube within a tube body plan (ectoderm within a endoderm tube)
Neurulation converts the neural plate into a hollow neural tube covered by ___________
Surface ectoderm
The neural tube differentiates into ______________
Brain and spinal cord
What major regions of the brain become apparent before the 4th week?
Forebrain (prosencephalon)
Midbrain (mesencephalon)
Hindbrain (rhombencephalon)
Neurons and glia begin to differentiate from the ____________ of the neural tube
Neuroepithelium
As neurulation occurs, ____________________ detach from the lateral lips of the neural folds and migrate to numerous locations in the body, where they differentiate to form a wide range of structures and cell types
Neural crest cells
2 types of ectoderm
- neural ectoderm
- surface ectoderm
Neural crest cells from the mesencephalon and rhombencephalon regions also give rise to structures in the developing ____________________________
Pharyngeal arches of the head and neck
What structures form from the pharyngeal arches
Bones of the nose, face, middle ear, and neck
Mesencephalon and rhombencephalon neural crest cells form the ______________________________
Dermis, smooth muscle, and fat of the face and ventral neck
Neural crest cells arising from the caudalmost rhombencephalon contribute, along with vagal neural crest cells, to the
Parafollicular cells of the thyroid
Where do neural crest cells migrate out of?
The leading edge of the neural tube
The rhombencephalon neural crest cells also contribute to some of the ________________ ganglia
Cranial nerve ganglia
- specifically neuron and all glial cells in the sensory ganglia of cranial nerves V, VII, IX, and X
- you can tell where the CN come from based on where they emerge in the head
Group of cells that migrate to the same area for a similar function
Placode
CN I arises from the ______________
Olfactory placode
CN II arises from the ________________
Optic cup (the distal end which thickens as the placode-like rudiment of the neural retina)
CN VIII and the vestibulocochlear ganglion arise from the __________
Otic placode
The ________________ gives rise to the cranial component of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
Rhombencephalic neural crest cells
-specifically POST GANGLIONIC neurons
The entire cranial component of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is formed from ______________
Cranial neural crest cells
What germ layer comprises the pia ad arachnoid mater?
Ectoderm
What germ layer comprises the dura mater
Mesoderm
What kind of cells give rise to the pia and arachnoid mater?
Cranial neural crest cells
What does the dura mater arise from?
Largely or exclusively from head (paraxial) mesoderm
Some cranial neural crest cells invade the surface ectoderm as they migrate away from the neural tube to form ___________
Melanocytes of the skin of the head and neck
These originate from the vagal region and have 3 major contributions
Neural cells
Three major contributions of neural cells
- Outflow tract of the heart (surrounding vasculature of heart)
- Enteric nervous system
- Parafollicular cells of the thyroid
Vagal neural crest cells migrate into the cranial pole of the developing heart, where they contribute to the septum that forms to partition the ___________
Outflow tract of the heart
Vagal neural crest cells migrate more dismally into the gut wall mesenchyme to form neuron, constituting the __________________, that innervates all regions of the gut tube from the esophagus to the rectum
Enteric nervous system
Vagal neural crest cells migrate with those from the caudal rhombencephalon to the pharyngeal pouches, where they contribute to the __________
Parafollicular cells of the thyroid
The peripheral nervous system of the neck, trunk, and limbs includes the following 4 types of peripheral neurons:
- Peripheral sensory neurons
- The cell bodies of which they reside in the dorsal root ganglia
- Sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic peripheral motoneurons
- Cell bodies of which resides respectively, in the sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia
All 4 types of peripheral neuron, plus their associated glia, are derived from _______
Neural crest cells
Shortly after somite formation, each somite reorganizes into two subdivisions:
- The epithelial dermamyotome
2. Mesenchyme sclerotome
Formation of the sclerotome, like ingression of cells through the primitive streak and formation of neural crest cells, is another example of ___________
Epithelial mesenchyme transformation
__________ will develop into the vertebrae
Sclerotomes (ventral portion)
Germ layer that makes up sclerotomes?
Mesoderm
What does the dorsal sclerotome form?
Vertebral arch
Two layers of the skin
- epidermis
- dermis
Epidermis germ layer
Surface ectoderm (neural ectoderm)
Germ layer of the dermis
Mesoderm
Mesenchyme
The epidermis is formed mainly by the embryonic ____________, although it is also colonized by melanocytes which are derived from the _______________
- surface ectoderm
- neural crest cells
Dermis of the trunk is a ___________ tissue
Mesodermal tissue
The ventral dermis is derived mainly from the _________ layer of the ___________
