Q

Where does the head start? What determines this?

A

It is debatable as it could start from the midbrain where hox genes are not expressed OR it could start from the hindbrain where the somites are the beginning on non-brain neural tissue

23
Q

How does secondary neurulation form a neural tube?

A

A rod like condensation of mesenchymal cells beneath the dorsal ectoderm (ectoderm on the back of the embryo) in the tail bud forms and a cavity opens up in the centre of the rod

24
Q

How does primary and secondary neurulation differ?

A

Primary starts at rostral end and ectoderm folds over itself to form a tube, secondary starts at caudal and is a rod the then develops a central canal throughout he rod

25
Q

How does the neural tube produced by primary and secondary neurulation combine? Is secondary neurulation a prominent process?

A

The two central canals in the primary and secondary neural tubes become continuous with each other It is in some species, in humans no but in chickens it forms the spine form the hips backwards and in fish is the main process for neural tube formation

26
Q

Where does the tissue for the secondary neurulation come from?

A

The ectoderm from above migrates downwards

27
Q

What is the significance of the location of the point where the neural tubes from primary and secondary neurulation come together?

A

It is about the location where spina bifida originates

28
Q

What is the neural crest? How is it formed?

A

Small group of cells on the outside edge o the neural plate that becomes the tip of the neural folds As the neural folds rise the cells move to the outside edge

29
Q

What do the cells in the neural crest form? What do they do?

A

They give rise to the peripheral nervous system by producing the neurons and also produce the hormone secreting cells of the adrenal gland and melanocytes (melanin cells), in the cranial region they also form cartilage, bone and muscles of the face and neck They become mesenchymal and migrate out of the lateral edges

30
Q

How does the the brain develop similarly and differently among different vertebrate?

A

The forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain and spinal chord are all present in early development, however the different species will have disproportionate growth in each of three brain vesicles

31
Q

What is the relative growth of each of the three vesicles in humans?

A

Forebrain: most growth Midbrain: very little growth Hind brain: middle growth

32
Q

What does the forebrain develop into in humans/apes?

A

The cerebral hemispheres and thalamus

33
Q

What is the function of the midbrain in humans/apes?

A

Reflective actions

34
Q

What does the hindbrain develop into in humans/apes?

A

Pons, medulla and cerebellum

35
Q

What is the names of the vesicles that are the precursor for the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain?

A

Forebrain = telencephalic vesicle Midbrain = mesencephalic vesicle Hindbrain = rhombencephalic vesicle

36
Q

Label the diagram

(FYI what do the vessels that connect to)

A
37
Q

What does the pharyngeal arches give rise to on fish vs terrestrial animals?

A

Fish = gills Terrestrial = specific structures on the head and neck

38
Q

Where do the pharyngeal arches form on a human embryo?

A

At the level of the future head and neck regions

39
Q

What does each pharyngeal arch develop into?

A

Derivatives of the three embryonic germ layers

41
Q

What is each pharyngeal arch covered in? What germ layer is inside them?

A

On the outside by ectoderm, inside by endoderm and mesoderm and the neural crest (it migrates down into arches) in the middle

42
Q

How many pharyngeal arches are there in humans?

A

5

43
Q

How are the pharyngal arches separated?

A

By pharyngeal pouches on the inside and pharyngeal clefts on the inside

44
Q

What structure does the first pharyngeal arch divide into? What function are these involved in? What tissue do these structures form from?

A

The bones, muscle and nerves of the jaw Mastication (chewing) Formed by the cranial neural crest migrating downwards

48
Q

By the end of the fourth week of development, what does the face of the embryo have on it? What are they formed by?

A

5 initial swellings called facial prominences Formed b the neural crest and by some mesenchyme that originates from the cranial somitomeres corresponding to the first pharyngeal arch

49
Q

Label the different types of facial prominences on the diagram and where they go on the embryo as it develops

A
50
Q

Where is the eye on the developing embryo at an early stage?

A

On the side of the head

51
Q

Are abnormalities in the fusion of facial prominence common? Give an example

A

Yes e.g. cleft lip occurs in 1 in 1000 births

52

What does defects in the first pharyngeal arch lead to?

A

Abnormalities in the outer and middle ear

53
Q

What is the process shown in this diagram? Label the diagram and what order the process is being undertaken

A

Heart looping sv = sinus venosus, pA = primitive atrium, pV = primitive ventricle, BC = bulbs cordis, RSV/LSV = right / left sinus ventricle

54
Q

A challenge for the embryo is to get access to gases and nutrients without functional lungs and intestines, what structures have evolved to get gases and nutrients?

A

Intraembryonic embryo circuit, vitelline circuit and allantois circuit

55
Q

Label the diagram

A

UNLABELLED BLOOD VESSELS OF EMBRYO

56
Q

What does the intraembryonic circuit do?

A

Provides nutrients to the tissue of the embryo

What does the vitelline circuit do?

A

Gathers nutrients from the yolk sac

Q

What does the allantois circuit do?

A

Gets rid of nitrogenous waste

59

A

The pharyngeal arches One aortic arch in each pharyngeal arch

60
Q

In mammals, what circuit brings the nutrients into the embryo?

A

The allantois circuit (aka the umbilical chord FYI)

61
Q

What does the umbilical vein and artery transport?

A

The umbilical vein transports oxygen and nutrient rich blood into the embryo The artery transports waste
