Development Flashcards
what controls limb development after the initial budding of the mesoderm
ectodermal ridge
what does thalidomide cause
amelia and meromelia
failure to retract seal the abdominal wall after retraction of the gut is called
umbilical hernia
apart from the bladder and urethra, the rest of the urogenital tract is formed from the..
intermediate mesoderm
when does the blastocyst implant into the uterine wall
between 5-10 days
what is the commonest congenital heart defect
ventricular septal defect
what causes sinus invertus
complete failure of the cilia of the primitive node - pure change whether organs are set properly or back to front
what is the neural crest
the cells at the point of fusion of the neural tube
what is the yolk stalk
that part of the yolk sac that is still connected to the gut lumen that persists until it is finally pinched shut
what happens to the urorectal septum
it extends towards the cloacal membrane to divide the rectum from the urogenital tract
order of endoderm, ectoderm and mesoderm from top to bottom of the blastocoele
ectoderm mesoderm endoderm
two cell populations in the blastocyst
inner cell mass
trophoblast
what structural feature determines morula from blastocyst
blastocyst undergoes cavitation to form a cavity = blastocoele
what is the morula
16 cell stage of the embryo
what is the cause of congenital hip dislocation
the acetabulum is malformed
- can be due to genetic or mechanical problems in utero
fate of the neural crest?
cells migrate off and leave the neural tube to form elements of the nervous system that dont form the CNS, and the other random things
what happens to the inner cell mass
- first splits into epiblast and hypoblast
- then epiblast will splits into 3 layers - ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm
what lies between the allantois and the hind gut
urorectal septum (part of the mesoderm)
how many live births have a birth defect
1:33
how do the trachea, lungs, liver and pancreas initially appear
as endodermal out-pocketings interacting with the mesoderm
how many pharyngeal arches are there
4
what is amelia and meromelia
amelia - absent limbs
meromelia - reduced limbs
how is the gut tube made
yolk sac separates from the embryo –> due to this some of the endoderm is pinched off
which tissues does the intermediate mesoderm give rise to
urogenital system
where does the heart develop from
the lateral splanchnic mesoderm
what causes VSD
when the intraventricular foramen is not filled by membranous part of IVS
what are somitomeres
swellings of the flat sheet of paraxial mesoderm lateral to the neural tube on both sides
components of the mesonephros
pronephric duct of the pronephros becomes the mesonephris duct with mesonephric tubules
what is the zygote
the single fertilized egg
how does the large intestine get to the right position in the body
it is pulled there by the rotation and lengethening of the small intestine
at what time of genstation does the mouth open to the outside
at 3 weeks –> ectoderm meets ectoderm (still present in humans - stratified squamous of mouth to respiratory epithelium that linkes pharynx)
what does the rest of the epiblast (that doesnt contribute to the embyro) and all of the primitive hypoblast give rise to
extra embryonic tissue
what happens to the mesonephric duct
- males –> redeployed and becomes the vas deferences
- females –> throw it away
which tissues does the lateral mesoderm give rise to
- ventrolateral body wall
- limb skeleton
- visceral pleura and peritoneum
- blood vessels and blood forming tissue
- heart
- wall of gut and respiratory tissues
what does mesenchyme refer to
ells that are isolated from each other, that are freely moving, and often have CT between cells
associations of the somatic and splanchnic mesoderm
somatic mesoderm associated with the ectoderm
splanchnic mesoderm associated with the endoderm
