Q

(Clinical Correlates)

Insufficient mesoderm is formed in the caudalmost region of the embryo. Urogenital system and lumbosacral vertebrae abnormalities ensue.

A

Caudal dysgenesis or sirenomelia.
Defects: hypoplasia and fusion of the lower limbs, vertebral abnormalities, renal agenesis, inperforate anus and anomalies of the genital organs

Q

There is a failure to properly establish the L-R axis

Q

Right sided bilaterality have

A. Polysplenia
B. Asplenia
C. Hypoplastic spleen

A

B and C

18
Q

Individuals with this condition do not have a high risk for having other congenital abnormalities but have agreater risk for a heart defect or severe cardiac malformation. They have bronchiectasis (20% of px) and chronic sinusitis due to Kartagener Syndrom (abnormal cilia)

A

Situs inversus

19
Q

Patients with this conditioin have a wide variety of other birth defects - midline malformations, neural tube defects, cleft palate, anal atresia etc. the heart exhibits more laterality than most organs

A

Situs ambiguous

20
Q

Mutations in what transcription factor causes X-linked heterotaxy

A

ZIC3 (zinc finger transcription factor). Birth defects include neural tube defects, limbs, ompholocoelenand most have severe heart malformations

21
Q

This neurotransmitter is an important signal molecule for establishing laterality

A

Serotonin (5-HT)

22
Q

These drugs increases risk if having different types of heart malformations and multiple other birt defects

A

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Lexapro, Celexa

23
Q

The trophoblast at the beginning of the third week is characterized by the

A. Primary villi
B. Secondary villi
C. Tertiary villi

A

A. This consists of a cytotrophoblastic core covered by a syncytial layer.

24
Q

The core of the primary villi is penetrated by mesodermal cells and grow toward the decidua, this neiwly formed structure is known as

A

Secondary villi

25
Q

(By the end of 3rd week)

Mesodermal cells in the core begin t8 differentiate into blood cells and small blodd vessesl, forming the villous capillary system. The villus is now known as

A

Tertiary villus or definitive placental villus

26
Q

The heart begins to beat in what week

A

Fourth

27
Q

Cytotrophoblastic cells establish contact with the neighbouring villous stems forming the

A

Outer cytotrophoblastic shell. This shell surrounds the trophoblast entirely and attaches the chorionic sac firmly to the maternal endometrial tissue

28
Q

The part of the endometrium where the placenta will form is called

A

Stem or anchoring villi. Those that branch in the sides are free or terminal villi where exchange of nutrients and other factors occur

29
Q

The embryo is attached to its trophoblastic shell by the

A

connecting stalk

30
Q

It forms the connection between the placenta and embryo

A

Umbilical cord. Developed from the connecting stalk

31
Q

Epiblast cells move inward (invaginate) forming what germ cell layer/s

A

Endoderm and mesoderm

32
Q

Cells that do not migrate through the streak but remain in the epiblast form what layer of the germ cell

A

Ectoderm

33
Q

Most characteristic event during 3rd week of gestation

A

Gastrulation
Begins with the formation of primitive streak on the surface of epiblast

34
Q

Cell migration and specification is controlled by the

A

FGF 8. Synthesized by streak cells

35
Q

FGF 8 controls cell movement by

A. Down-regulating E-cadherin
B. Up-regulating E-cadehrin

A

A.
E-cadherin is a protein theat binds the epiblast together

36
Q

E-cadherin controls cell specification into the mesoderm by regulating which expression

A. BRACHYURY (I) expression
B. BRACHYURY (T) expression
C. BRACHYURY (H) expression

A

B. BRACHYURY (T) expression

37
Q

Temporarily connects the aminiotic and yolk sac cavities

A

Neurenteric canal

38
Q

Formed at the caudal end of the embryonic disc that is similar as the oropharyngeal membrane

A

Cloacal membrane

39
Q

A small diverticulum formed by the posteror wall of the yolk sac

A

Allantois or allontoenteric diverticulum. Appears around the 16th day of development
