Chapter 4- Third Week of Development Flashcards
4 General Events in 3rd week
- Trilaminar disc
- Primitive streak
- Notochord
- Germ layer differentiation
4 Events of Gastrulation
- 3 Germ layers
- Embryonic orientation
- Trilaminar disc
- morphogenesis begins
Embryonic ectoderm forms…
CNS PNS Epidermis Eyes Inner Ear Neural crest cells Connective tissue of head
Embryonic Mesoderm forms…
Muscles
Blood cells
Linings of blood vessels and body cavities
Cardiovascular system
Organs of respiratory and excretory systems
Connective tissue (not head or limbs)
Embryonic Endoderm forms…
Epithelial linings of respiratory and alimentary systems
1st sign of gastrulation…
primitive streak
Cranial end of primitive streak
Primitive node
Primitive streak disappears by _________-
end of 4th week
Sacroccygeal teratoma
germ cell tumor that contains all 3 germ layers
female»males (80% of cases are in females)
Movement of primitive streak
caudal–>cranial
Cloacal membrane
future site of anus
Notochord
- forms via Shh signaling
- establishes the longitudinal axis
- induces formation of neural plate
- Aids in development of CNS and axial musculoskeletal system
Chordomas
Vestigal remnants of notochord tissues
Allantoic cyst
remnants of extraembryonic portions of allantois
may become inflamed in childhood/teens
Neurulation
- Formation of neural plate, neural fold, and closure of neural folds to form neural tube
Neurulation ends at _____ with the ______
- end of 4th week
- closure of the caudal neuropore
Neuroectoderm forms…
CNS Brain Spinal cord Retina Etc.
Neural plate invaginates and starts to form the neural tube at ________
~18 days
