Body Cavities and Respiratory Development Flashcards
what are the primordium of the intraembryonic coelom, and where do they appear?
they are isolated coelomic spaces in the lateral plate and the cardiogenic mesoderm
what does the intraembryonic coelom dive the lateral plate mesoderm into?
a somatic layer of lateral mesoderm and a splanchnic layer of lateral mesoderm
what is the somatic layer of lateral mesoderm continuous with?
the extraembryonic mesoderm covering the amnion
what is the splanchnic layer of the lateral mesoderm continuous with?
the extraembryonic mesoderm covering the umbilical vesicle
what is somatopleure?
the somatic mesoderm + the overlying ectoderm- forms the body wall
what is the splanchnopleure?
splanchnic mesoderm+ underlying endoderm–> forms the embryonic gut
how will the intraembryonic coelom be divided?
into a pericardial cavity, pleural cavities, and a peritoneal cavity
what are the cavities lined with?
mesothelium
what is the parietal wall derived from?
somatic mesoderm
what is the visceral wall derived from?
splanchnic mesoderm
what does the pericardial cavity open into?
2 pericardioperitoneal canals
head fold movements reshape the intraembryonic coelom; how is the pericardial cavity now positioned?
it is relocated to be ventral and anterior to the foregut
what are the end points of the pericardioperitoneal canals continuous with?
the IE ad EE coeloms- this will be where the peritoneal cavity is positioned
bolding folding occurs in what aspects?
cranial, caudal, and the lateral aspects simultaneously
which folding occurs first and on what day does it occur?
head folding; the embryo elongates cranially starting 4th week/ day 22
what occurs due to the embryo’s elongation cranially?
the neural folds project dorsally and overgrow the oropharyngeal membrane
what is moved inferiorly to the developing forgut due to head folding?
the septum transversum, primordial heart, pericardial cavity, and the oropharyngeal membrane
what is the folding of the caudal end of the embryo due to?
growth of the distal neuro tube
before folding, the primitive streak lies cranial to the cloacal membrane. After caudal folding, where does it lie?
it lies caudal
what produces the lateral folds?
rapid growth of the spinal cord and somites
How does laterally folding happen?
the lateral folds will grow out and downward (ventrally) and then eventually meet along the midline
what happens when the lateral folds fuse together?
the connection between the umbilical vesicle and the midgut is reduced, and it forms the vitelline duct
what is the gut tube covered with?
splanchnic mesoderm
what are body wall malformations and what are two examples?
they result from a failure of the lateral body folds to fuse completely when the anterior abdominal wall forms (4th week); gastroschisis and congenital epigastric hernia
where is the site of the abdominal defect in cases of gastroschisis?
to the right of the umbilical cord rather than midline
where is the site of a congenital epigastric hernia?
it is midline
in order to get the different cavities that are derived from the intraembryonic coelom, what must occur?
we must close off the canals/connections to separate and form the body cavities
partitions form in the top and bottom ends of the pericardioperitoneal canals due to what?
growth of the lungs
what are the more cranial/superior pair of folds that form on the pericardioperitoneal canals?
the pleuropericardial folds
what is the role of the pleuropericardial folds?
they will separate the pericardial cavity and the pleural cavities (heart and lungs)
what are the more caudal/inferior pair of folds that form on the pericardioperitoneal canals?
the pleuroperitoneal folds
what is the role of the pleuroperitoneal folds?
they will separate the pleural cavities from the peritoneal cavity (lungs and gut)
what do the pleuropericardial folds become once they enlarge?
they become the pleuropericardial membranes
what do the pleuropericardial membranes fuse with and when?
they fuse with the ventral mesenchyme around week 7
when are the pericardial and pleural cavities separate?
week 7 with the fusion of the pleuropericardial membranes
what is going to push the pleurocardial membrane/ pericardial cavity down?
the outgrowth of the bronchial buds (lungs)- they grow ventrally into the pericardioperitoneal canals which causes the pleural cavity to expand
the extension of the lungs within the pericardioperitoneal canals will form what?
it splits the mesenchyme to form an outer layer (the thoracic wall) and an inner layer (the fibrous pericardium)
what do the pleuroperitoneal folds become as they enlarge?
they will form pleuroperitoneal membranes
what do the pleuroperitoneal membranes fuse with and when?
they fuse with the dorsal mesentery of the esophagus and septum transversum (week 6)
what other feature also contributes to the pleuroperitoneal membranes to complete closure?
myoblasts
which pleuroperitoneal opening closes slightly before the other?
the opening on the right- thought to be due to the development of the liver (so therefore the left is prone to congenital malformations
what do the pleuroperitoneal membranes ultimately contribute to?
the primordial diaphragm
what are the 4 different components that help form the thoracic diaphragm?
the septum transversum, the pleuroperitoneal membranes, the dorsal mesentery, and the myoblasts
what does the septum transversum go on to form in the diaphragm?
the central tendon of the diaphragm
