body folding embryo Flashcards
what does growth involve?
cell division &elaboration of cell products
what does morphogenesis involve?
development of shape, size, and other features of a particular organ or part or the whole body
what is morphogenesis controlled by?
gene expression & regulation in an orderly sequence
what is Differentiation ?
cells are organized in a precise pattern of tissues & organs that are capable of performing specialized functions
what is the first step in body folding?
Primordium of the intraembryonic coelom (embryonic body cavity) appears
Isolated coelomic spaces Coalesce to form the intraembryonic coelom
intraembryonic coelom divides lateral mesoderm into what?
Somatic (parietal) layer of lateral mesoderm
Splanchnic (visceral) layer of lateral mesoderm
what is the somatopleure?
somatic mesoderm& overlying embryonic ectoderm form body wall
what is the splanchnopleure?
splanchnic mesoderm & underlying embryonic endoderm form embryonic gut
how does folding occur?
cranial & caudal ends, & sides occurs simultaneously
why is folding significant? whats important about the lateral edges
Folding is significant for creating correct body form
Embryo increases in length, but lateral edges cannot keep pace
when does embryo elongate?how?
cranially & caudally (4thweek/day 22)
overgrowth of neural folds over oropharyngeal membrane causes what?
moves septum transversum, primordial heart, pericardial coelom, & oropharyngeal membrane to ventral surface
Endoderm forms what when it is incorporated into foregut?
primordium of pharynx, esophagus, & lower respiratory system
after head folding has occured, what position is embryo in?
Pericardial cavity is ventral
- Pericardioperitonealcanals run dorsally on each side of the foregut
- Intraembryonic & extraembryonic coeloms are in communication
folding of caudal end of embryo is due to what?
growth of the distal neural tube
tail folding causes what change in position?
caudal eminence(tail region) projects over thecloacal membrane (future anus)
primitive streak lies caudal to cloacal membrane
Allantois is partially incorporated
Connecting stalk attached to ventral surface
