Body Cavities and Respiratory Embryo Flashcards
What produces the lateral folds?
rapid growth of SC and somites
How does head folding occur?
- embryo elongates cranially and caudally week 4
- neural folds project dorsally and overgrow oropharyngeal mem
- endoderm is incorporated as foregut
- Septum transversum, primordial heart, pericardial coelom and oropharyngeal form
What three things happen after head folding?
- Pericardial cavity is ventral
- Pericardioperitoneal canals run dorsally on sides of foregut
- Intraembryonic and extraembryonic coeloms are in communication
What is Gastroschisis?
- protrustion of viscera usually is to right of umbilical cord rather than midline
- Bowel is not covered and floating in amniotic fluid
- Results from failure of lateral body folds to fuse at week four
What is congenital epigastric hernia?
- Midline bulge of abdominal wall located between the xiphoid process and umbilicus
- The bowel is covered by skin and subcutaneous tissues
What is the significance of intraembryonic coelom with body wall formation?
- Divides the lateral mesoderm into somatic layers of mesoderm and splanchnic layer of lateral mesoderm
- Somatic (parietal) continuous with extraembryonic mesoderm covering amnion
- Splanchnic (visceral) layer of lat mesoderm is continuous with extraembryonic mesoderm covering umbilical vesicle
What three divisions does the intraembryonic coelom consist of?
- Pericardial cavity
- Pericardioperitoneal canals (2)
- Peritoneal cavity
What is the more superior fold that divides the pericardial caivity from pleural cavity?
Pleuropericardial folds
What fold separates the pleural cavities from peritoneal cavity?
Pleuroperitoneal folds
How do pleuropericardial membranes form?
- Pleuropericardial folds form as outgrowths of lateral body wall and grow ventrally
- They enlarge as the pleuropericardial membranes and project across upper limit of pericardioperitoneal canals
What causes the pleural cavity to expand and what results from this expansion?
- Bronchial bud outgrowths (lungs) are growing ventrally and shapes the cavity
- It splits mesenchyme into an outer layer and inner layer
- Thoracic wall (outer)
- Fibrous pericardium (inner layer of mesenchyme, but outer layer of the pericardial sac)
How do pleuroperitoneal membranes form?
- Pleuroperitoneal folds form as outgrowths of lateral body wall and project into the pericardioperitoneal canals forming the pleuroperitoneal membranes
- Myoblasts contribute to pleuroperitoneal membranes to complete closure
- right closes before left
When do the pleuroperitoneal membranes fuse with dorsal mesentery of esophagus and septum transversum?
6th week
What are the four components of the diaphragm?
- Septum transversum:
- Expands and fuses with dorsal mesentery of esophagus and pleuroperitoneal membranes
- central tendon
- Pleuroperitoneal mem:
- fuses wit hdorsal mesentery of esophagus and septum transversum
- Primordial diaphragm
- Dorsal mesentery:
- Median portion of diaphragm
- Myoblasts:
- grows into dorsal mesentery
- Crura of diaphragm
What do myoblasts form that is part of the adult diaphragm?
Crura
What forms from the septum transversum?
Central tendon of the diaphragm
How does the diaphragm get innervation?
- Myoblasts will pull C3,4,5 ventral rami with them as they pass through the pleuropericardial membranes
- Eventually phrenic will lie on the fibrous pericardium
What is a congenital diaphragmatic hernia?
- Lack of myoblasts populating pleuroperitoneal membranes and results in weakness and herniation of abdominal viscera into pleural cavity
- Lung maturation can be delayed and polyhydramnios may also be present
- Left side is usually impacted
- Can be corrected at brith
How does the respiratory system start and where is this structure located?
- As a median outgrowth called the laryngotracheal groove
- Which is located in the floor of the foregut/primordial pharynx
What does the laryngotracheal groove evaginate into?
Laryngotracheal diverticulum, the primordium of the traccheobronchial tree
