development of GI tracts Flashcards
what is the blastocele ?
refers to the ball of cells containing zygote to uterine wall
what is the trilaminar disk ?
what layers make up the disk ?
- cells at the early stage of development
- upper layer = ectoderm
- middle layer = mesoderm
- bottom layer = endoderm
where does the trilaminar disc sit between ?
amniotic cavity
yolk sac
what is organogenesis ?
the differentiation of the cells into tissues of the body + organs
what does the ectoderm become ?
skin + nervous system
what does the mesoderm become ?
muscles
vascular system
connective tissue
kidneys
what will the endoderm form ?
the gut
the lungs
the liver
the hepatobiliary system
what does intrauterine life refer too ?
the interval of life between conception + birth
at what point of intrauterine life does the gut begin to develop ?
week 3
what does the yolk sac do ?
helps transfer of nutrients to the embryo before placental circulation
what triggers the development of the fetal vasculature ?
when does this happen ?
week 3
mesoderm invades the yolk sac
what part of the yolk sac gives rise to the gut ?
the dorsal side
what is embroynic folding ?
when does this take place ?
4th week of development
embryo changes shape from flat trilaminar disk into cylinder
why does folding occur in 2 planes ?
what are these planes ?
- horizontal + median plane
- different rates of growth of the embryonic structures
what does folding of the horizontal plane lead to ?
development of the 2 lateral body folds
what does folding in the median plane result in ?
development of the cranial + caudal folds
what happens to the endoderm during embryonic folding ?
- moves towards the midline + fuses with dorsal part of yolk sac
- this creates the primitive gut tube
what 3 parts does the primitive gut tube differentiate into ?
- foregut
- midgut
- hindgut
where is the foregut found in early development ?
at head of embryo
what temporarily closes the foregut ?
what does rupture of this structure give rise too ?
- oropharyngeal membrane
- forms the mouth
where is the midgut found ?
between the fore + hind gut
what is the vitelline duct ?
the narrowing of the yolk sac into a stalk
where is the hindgut found ?
tail of the embryo
what temporarily closes the hindgut ?
what does rupture of this structure lead to ?
- cloacal membrane
- urogenital + anal opening
what is the coelomic cavity ?
what does it give rise to ?
trapped space of the gut
- peritoneal cavity
where does the gut tube come from ?
posterior + anterior walls by a double folded membrane
