DEV (Highison): Embryonic period week 3 thru 8 Flashcards
Embryonic period spans through what weeks?
three to eight
embryonic period develops what two early systems
nervous system
and cardiovascular system
by end of embryonic period, have ALL major organ systems begun to develop?
Yeah, but only MINIMALLY.
^^except the cardiovascular system which has developed extensively
What appearance does the fetus have by the end of the eighth week?
it starts looking distinctly human
What are the three phases of embryonic development?
- growth
- morphogenesis (development of form AND mass cell movements)
- differentiation which is the maturation of physiological processes
What are the TWO MAJOR subdivisions of ectoderm derivatives?
- neuroectoderm
2. epidermal covering of the body
What is the process of neurulation?
early neural tube formation
What does the blocking of BMP4 do for neurulation?
It allows for the induction of neural plate by the NOTOCHORD and the PRECHORDAL PLATE
Neural plate invaginates to form ____?
the neural tube!
The CNS comes from?
The NEURAL TUBE
In what direction does the fusion of the neural tube proceed?
Cranially to caudally
What are the two nucleopores and when do they close?
Cranial nucleopore and caudal nucleopore; they close at day 25 and 27 respectively
What’s a nucleopore?
An opening on the side of the neural tube; we got two, one on the cranial side and one on the caudal side
a. Where do neural crests cells come from?
b. Where do they go?
c. And what do they do?
a. neural folds.
b. from neural folds, they migrate into mesenchyme
c. they make up the PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and MORE
