Become linings of digestive, resp, urogen, and phyrangeal pouches of head and eck

36
Q

Mesoderm cells and what they develop to

A

Migrate through primitive streak and sandwich between endoderm and ecotderm layers

37
Q

Mesoderm layer also called

A

Intraembryonic mesoderm

38
Q

Notochord

A

Midline specialized cells in the region of the endoderm and mesoderm

39
Q

Ectoderm cells

A

Remaining epiblast cells once mesoderm and endoderm cells have migrated through
Develop into nervous system and epidermis

40
Q

All germ layers derived from

A

Epiblast

41
Q

Direction of epiblast migration

A

The more caudal the cells, the more laterally they move

Caudal cells form more lateral structures while cells from the node form more midline structures

42
Q

What layer doesn’t exist at body cavities?

A

Mesoderm

43
Q

Notochord, what it forms and what are remnants

A

Basis of vertebral column
Mesoderm cells between ecto and endo layers that migrate in cephalic direction
Induces CNS
Nucleus pulposus

44
Q

Prechordal plate

A

Head organizer

45
Q

Neurulation

A

Results in formation of primitive nervous system

46
Q

Mechanism of neurulation

A

Notochord secretes inducing factors which cause the overlying ectoderm to proliferate and thicken into the neural plate
Begins at cranial end

47
Q

why does Neural groove form?

A

Forms in midline due to proliferation of cells on lateral edge of neural plate

48
Q

Neural folds

A

Continued overgrowth of neural plate results in the neuroectoderm becoming more elevated along laterla margins

49
Q

Neural crest cells

A

At the crest of neural folds…will eventually migrate from neural ectoderm to deeper mesoderm

50
Q

Nerual tube formation

A

Neural folds approach one another and fuse in the region of the future neck…grow toward both ends

51
Q

Anterior and posterior neuropores

A

Cranial and caudal ends of the neural tube still open to the amniotic cavity

52
Q

Exencephaly and other name

A

Failure of anterior neuropore to close

Q

Spina bifida cystica

A

More severe…meninges or spinal cord protrude through skin

56
Q

Meningomyelocele vs. meningocele
