Q

Primitive Streak

A

The thickened linear band of epiblast that marks the beginning of gastrulation. This line becomes the long axis of the embryo

17
Q

Somatic

A

Relates to outer body

18
Q

Splanchnic

A

Relates to inner body

19
Q

Chordamesoderm

A

Mesoderm cells that migrate rostally from the primitive pit, forming the notochord

20
Q

Notochordal plate

A

The plate of chordamesoderm extending rostally to the oropharyngeal membrane

21
Q

Neurenteric Canal

A

A temporary opening of the notochordal plate, allowing for communication and ion equalization between the aminotic cavity and the yolk sac

22
Q

What cells line the yolk sac? What type of cells replace the roof lining of the yolk sack during gastrulation?

A

Hypoblast; endoblast

23
Q

Intraembryonic mesoderm

A

Mesoderm that differentiates from embryonic mesoblast and contributes to fetal tissue

24
Q

What are the three divisions of the intraembryonic mesoderm?

A

Paraxial, intermediate, and lateral

25
How is the lateral mesoderm split?
It is split dorsoventrally, creating a somatic layer and a splanchnic layer
26
What three things are formed with the split of the lateral mesoderm
A somatic layer, a splanchnic layer, and an intraembryonic celom
27
Intraembryonic celom
A product of lateral mesoderm splitting, it is a cavity in the emrbyo that gives rise to the peritoneal, pericardial, and pleural cavities
28
How is the paraxial mesoderm split?
Rostalcaudally, creating somites
29
Somite
The product of paraxial mesoderm splitting, it is a developmental structure that correlates to a section of the body
30
Neurulation
Formation of the neural tube
31
What induces neurulation?
The formation of the notochord
32
Neural plate
A differentiated section of the ectoblast that is induced by the notochord
33
How is the neural tube formed
The neural plate begins to fold into neural folds and neural grooves. The neural folds come together and pinch off the neural groove into forming the neural tube
34
Neural crest
Often called the 4th germ layer in vertebrates; cells that are pinched off of the neural plate during neurulation but do not remain as part of the nervous system
35
Neural tube
The product of neurulation and the precursor to the central nervous system (they become mesenchymal)
36
Secondary neurulation
The formation of a secondary neural tube in the caudial end of the embryo
37
Neuropore
The rolling up on the cranial and caudal ends of the embryo
38
What happens when rostal neuropore does not close?
Anencephaly
39
Spina Bifida
When the spinal cord does not close causally to the 4th somite
40
Skeletaginous septum
A septum that splits along the line of the notochord
41
Mesentery
An organ that attaches other organs to cell wall bodies. It double-wraps the gut tube dorsally and ventrally and is the primary communication method between the gut and the rest of the tube
