Body Plan Flashcards
6 adaptations that allow mammalian embryo to survive inside another organism
Placenta, umbilical vein, ductus venous, foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus, umbilical arteries
Internal iliac arteries
Umbilical arteries branch to form these and parts remain to supply the bladder
Steps to embryonic development
- Common organization (all embryos in this stage look alike)
- The three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm)
- Embryonic folding (forms tubular organs and cavities)
- Building blocks (epithelial, mesencymal, and blood cells)
3 principal axes of body plan
Cranial-Caudal, Dorsal-Ventral, Left-Right
Embryonic development stages
Zygote -> blastocyst -> baliminar disc ->trilaminar disc
Mesoderm differentiation
Notochord, paraxial intermediate, and lateral mesoderm (lateral mesoderm will split into somatic and splanchnic mesoderm
Cranial-caudal folding
Brings most cranial heart into thoracic (more caudal) position. Brings septum transversum caudal to heart (septum transversum is first division of embryonic coelom)
Lateral folding
Closes the embryo and forms tubular organs like gut tube and heart. Incorporates extra embryonic coelom into the embryo thereby forming first intraembryonic body cavity (ie a coelomic cavity)
Morphogenetic
Process of shaping body and its parts
Gastrulation
Process of embryonic folding, transforms embryo into 3-d cylindrical shape and forms body cavities
Embryogenesis
Choreographed interplay of cells and processes necessary in the development of the embryo
Requirements to successfully complete embryonic development
1 survival
2 change (ie development)
3 prepare for birth
Blood vessels fetus utilizes for nutrient and oxygen uptake
Umbilical vein and umbilical artery
Placenta organ replacement
Placenta is lungs, kidneys and liver of developing fetus; contains tissues and vessels from both the embryo (chorionic plate) and mother (basal plate). Placenta mostly made of cells derived from trophoplast
Respritory and digestive system adaptations for speeding up oxygen delivery to fetus
Foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus (respritory) and ductus venosus (digestive) provide short cuts for placental blood to get to fetus quickly by bypassing liver and lungs
Ductus venosus
Placental blood is returned to fetus by 2 large umbilical veins that join as one when entering body at the navel, the single abdominal umbilical vein runs forward to penetrate liver and bypasses Hypatic circulation via the ductus venosus which tunnels through the liver joining caudal venacava
Blood flow in placenta
Placental blood returns to fetus in 2 umbilical veins which become one in navel -> ductus venosus -> caudal vena cava (now mixes super oxygenated placental blood with deoxygenated blood returning from hind part of body) ->foramen ovale -> 2 branches
Branch one: foramen ovale -> right atrium -> right ventricle -> pulmonary trunk -> ductus arteriosus -> descending aorta -> umbilical artery -> placenta -> umbilical vein
Branch two: foramen ovale ->left atrium -> left ventricle -> aorta -> brain/ upper half of body -> umbilical artery -> placenta -> umbilical vein
Umbilical arteries
Carry deoxygenated blood from descending aorta back to placenta for oxygenation. Umbilical arteries branch fo form internal iliac arteries
Changes in circulation following birth
- Removal of placenta -> drop in body temperature constricting and closing umbilical vein, change in resistance to blood flow (higher resistance) leads to no blood flowing in umbilical vein or ductus venosus which eventually closes
2.first breath expands lung decreasing resistance to blood flow in lung dropping blood pressure in right atrium and right ventricle leading to close of foramen ovale
Rise in oxygen level of the blood leads to smooth muscle contraction which closes ductus arteriosus.
Loss of prostaglandin from removal of placenta leads to closing of umbilical arteries (distal part will become round ligament of bladder0, proximal part remains and supplies some blood to cranial part of bladder
Stump of umbilical vein outside abdomen shrivels and intraabdominal part will transform to round ligament of the liver
Ductus arteriosus- converted into fiborous structure known as ligamentum arteriosum
Patent ductus arteriosus
If ductus arteriosus abnormally persists after birth and fails to close poorly oxygenated blood from right ventricle will enter systemic circulatory system without being oxygenated in the lungs. This is most common congenital cardiovascular birth defect in dogs.
Location of structure in adult and embryonic body should be described in relation to the
CNS
Establishment of axes
Originates just after fertilization
First axis to be established- Cranioventral-caudal
2nd to be established- dorso-ventral
3rd axis to be established - left-right
Left right axis is critical to
Formation of heart and gastrointestinal tract
Heart on left
Stomach on left
Spleen on left
Liver on right
Vasculature inflow of heart on right, outflow on left
Amnion
Water sac, allows embryo to float in fluid environment that protects it from shock an desiccation
Yolk sac
Membrane derived from the embryo, enables nutrient uptake, development of circulatory system
Allantois
Stores waste product, developers at caudal end of embryo
