Development/Developmental Disorders Flashcards
1
Q
Gastrulation
A
- phase in development during which the single layered blastula is reorganized into three germ layers (trilaminar)
- begins with formation of Primitive Streak (13-14 days)
2
Q
3 Germ Layers
A
Ectoderm (nervous tissue, skin)
Mesoderm (CT, musculoskeletal)
Endoderm (visceral linings)
3
Q
Neurulation (creates 3 things)
A
- Starts at 18 days
- Begins with formation of a neural plate
- Accomplishes 3 things: 1. Creates neural tube 2. creates neural crest 3. creates epidermis
4
Q
Neural Plate
A
- thickening of ectoderm caused when cuboidal epithelial cells become columnar (formation of neural plate is beginning of neurulation)
- invaginates into mesoderm and edges approximate to form neural tube
5
Q
Neural Tube
A
- formed from neural plate, gives rise to CNS
- formed by day 20
6
Q
Neural Crest (6 things)
A
- migrates away from dorsal surface of neural tube, gives rise to diverse set of cell types
- becomes DRG, ANS ganglia, adrenal medulla, pigmented cells of skin/retina, pia matter, post lobe pituitary
7
Q
Epidermis
A
covers neural tube once created
8
Q
Implantation of the blastula occurs on Day ___
A
6
9
Q
Primitive Streak
A
- 13-14 days
- invagination of cells to form the 3 germ layers
- Beginning of gastrulation
10
Q
Primary Vesicle Stage
A
- begins when neural tube is fully closed (28 days)
- formation of prosencephalon, mesencephalon, rhombencephalon
11
Q
Rhombencephalon
A
hindbrain
12
Q
Mesencephalon
A
midbrain
13
Q
Prosencephalon
A
forebrain
14
Q
Cervical flexure
A
when mesen folds onto rhomben
15
Q
Secondary Vesicle Stage
A
- 6 weeks
- prosencephalon becomes telencephalon (cerebral hemisphere) and diencephalon (thalamus)
- mesencephalon stays the same
- rhombencephalon becomes metencephalon (cerebellum, pons) and myelencephalon (medulla oblongata)
