Chapter 7 Flashcards
During the third and fourth weeks, the top layer (ectoderm) of the trilaminar embryonicdisc forms the neural plate that rolls up into a tube to form the brain and spinal cord by the process called ____
neurulation
The visceral layer rolls ventrally and is intimately connected to the gut tube; the parietal layer, together with the overlying ectoderm, forms the ____ (one on each side of the embryo), which move ventrally and meet in the midline to close the ventral body wall
lateral body wall folds
The visceral layer rolls ventrally and is intimately connected to the gut tube; the parietal layer, together with the overlying ectoderm, forms the lateral body wall folds (one on each side of the embryo), which move ventrally and meet in the midline to close the ____
ventral body wall
The space between visceral and parietal layers of lateral plate mesoderm is the ___, which at this early stage is a continuous cavity, because it has not yet been subdivided into the pericardial, pleural, and abdominopelvic regions
primitive body cavity
At the end of the third week, ___ differentiates into paraxial mesoderm, which forms somitomeres and somites that play a major role in forming the skull and vertebrae; intermediate mesoderm, which contributes to the urogenital system; and lateral plate mesoderm, which is involved in forming the body cavity
intraembryonic mesoderm
At the end of the third week, intraembryonic mesoderm differentiates into ____, which forms somitomeres and somites that play a major role in forming the skull and vertebrae; intermediate mesoderm, which contributes to the urogenital system; and lateral plate mesoderm, which is involved in forming the body cavity
paraxial mesoderm
At the end of the third week, intraembryonic mesoderm differentiates into paraxial mesoderm, which forms somitomeres and somites that play a major role in forming the skull and vertebrae; ____, which contributes to the urogenital system; and lateral plate mesoderm, which is involved in forming the body cavity
intermediate mesoderm
Soon after it forms as a solid mesodermal layer, clefts appear in the lateral plate mesoderm that coalesce to split the solid layer into two:
(1) the____ adjacent to the surface ectoderm and continuous with the extraembryonic parietal mesoderm layer over the amnion. Together, the parietal (somatic) layer of lateral plate mesoderm and overlying ectoderm are called the ______;
(2) the _____ layer adjacent to endoderm forming the gut tube and continuous with the visceral layer of extraembryonic mesoderm covering the yolk sac
parietal (somatic) layer - somatopleure
Visceral (splanchnic)
At the end of the third week, intraembryonic mesoderm differentiates into paraxial mesoderm, which forms somitomeres and somites that play a major role in forming the skull and vertebrae; intermediate mesoderm, which contributes to the urogenital system; and _____, which is involved in forming the body cavity
lateral plate mesoderm
Together, the visceral (splanchnic) layer of lateral plate mesoderm and underlying endoderm are called the ___
splanchnopleure
The space created between the two layers of lateral plate mesoderm constitute the ___
primitive body cavity
During the fourth week, the sides of the embryo begin to grow ventrally forming two ___
lateral body wall folds
Similarly, closure of the gut tube is complete except for a connection from the midgut region to the yolk sac called the ___
Vitelline (yolk sac) duct
This closure is aided by growth of the head and tail regions (folds) that cause the embryo to curve into the ___
fetal position
Some cells of the parietal layer of lateral plate mesoderm lining the body wall of the primitive embryonic cavity become mesothelial and form the _____ lining the outside of the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities
parietal layer of the serous membranes
Some cells of the parietal layer of lateral plate mesoderm lining the body wall of the primitive embryonic cavity become mesothelial and form the parietal layer of the serous membranes lining the outside of the ____, ____, and ___
peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities
In a similar manner, some cells of the visceral layer of lateral plate mesoderm form the ____ covering the abdominal organs, lungs, and heart
Visceral layer of the serous membranes
Visceral and parietal layers are continuous with each other as the ____, which suspends the gut tube from the posterior body wall into the peritoneal cavity
dorsal mesentery
_____ exists only from the caudal foregut to the upper portion of the duodenum and results from thinning of mesoderm of the septum transversum, a block of mesoderm that forms connective tissue in the liver and forms a scaffold for formation of the diaphragm
Ventral mesentery
Ventral mesentery exists only from the caudal foregut to the upper portion of the duodenum and results from thinning of mesoderm of the ____, a block of mesoderm that forms connective tissue in the liver and forms a scaffold for formation of the diaphragm
septum transversum
These mesenteries are ____ of peritoneum that provide a pathway for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to the organs
double layers
