early development Flashcards
what endoderm further develops
GI tract
live, pancreas
lungs
thyroid
what ectoderm further develops
CNS, neural crest,
skin epithelia , tooth enamel
what mesoderm further develops
blood (endothelial cells, red and white blood cells)
Muscle (smooth, skeletal and cardiac)
gonads, kidney, adrenal cortex
bone, cartilage
when does neural tube close at head end
day 23
when does neural tube close at tail end
day 27
failure of neural tube closure at head end
anencephaly
failure of neural tube closure at tail end
spina bifida
once neural tube is formed, what does neural crest cells do
migrate from neural folds to different locations and differentiate into different cell types within embryo
e.g
cranial
vagal
trunk
sacral
steps of gut tube formation
ventral folding - cranial and caudal end fold over
lateral folding- lateral sides of embryo fold over
what is somitogenesis
formation of somites
set of bilaterally paired blocks of paraxial mesoderm along head to tail axis of embryo
what does somites form
sclerotome (vertebrae and rib cage)
dermomyotome
miscarriage define and subtype
loss of pregnancy prior to 24weeks gestation
early clinicial pregnancy loss (less than 12 weeks )
late clinical pregnancy loss (less than 24 weeks )
recurrent miscarriage=
3+ pregnancy loss
examples of cohesion protein
REC8
SMC2
define ectopic pregnancy
when embryo implants at a site other than uterine lining (endometrium)
