embryo 2 (wk8) Flashcards
what axis does the notochord develop
longitudinal axisw
what structure does notochord contribute to
intervertebral discs
what does the notochord provide signals for
Providessignalsfor the development of axial MSK structures and the CNS
how is the notochordal process formed
mesenchymal cells dive
into the primitive pit and migrate cephalad
what is the lumen in the notochordal process called
Notochordal canal
how does the notochordal process become the notochordal plate
notochordal process approaches the prechordal plate, the floor of the process “fuses” with the endoderm
how can the amniotic cavity and umbilical vesicle communicate through
an opening (the neurenteric canal)
– this opening is where the primitive pit opened into the notochordal canal
what happens to the notochordal plate to form the notochord
cells proliferate and fold inwards
-no canal present
▪ Notochordal plate! notochord transition starts cranially (cephally) and progresses caudally
- After the notochord is fully-developed, the neurenteric canal is obliterated
what layer is absent in the floor of the plate where the neurocentric canal is
endoderm
what do the notochord and its preceding structures (process, plate) help organize?
-induce overlying ectoderm to develop into neural plate
-acts as central axis (divide left and right)
what thing does the notochord structures approach but not go beyond
the prechordal plate
what does the prechrodal plate organzie
cranial structures
what does the prechordal plate act as a stop signal for
notochord; prevent it from going to far anteriorly
what does the prechordal plate develop into
the oropharyngeal membrane
oropharyngeal membrane; how many layers and where is it found
2 layers; ecto and endoderm
cardiogenic mesoderm found anteriroly
where does the cloacal membrane form
caudal to the primitive streak
how many layers in cloacal membrane and what does it become
2; ecto and endoderm
future site of anus
what is the allantois
Small, vascularized diverticulum (outpouching) from the caudal wall of umbilical vesicle, extending into connecting stalk
what does the allantois function in
early blood formation and bladder development
▪ Blood vessels become umbilical arteries
▪ Small portion persists as urachus that extends from bladder to umbilical region
- Becomes median umbilical ligament in adults
how does neuroectoderm form
Notochord induces overlying ectoderm to form the neural plate
what does neuroectoderm give rise to
Gives rise to the CNS, retina, and the tissues that arise
from the neural crest
on day 18, what does neural plate invagination cause formation of
On day 18, the neural plate invaginates to form the neural groove – neural folds are found on either side of the groove
how is neural tube made
The neural folds eventually fuse together, and form the neural tube
what is the structure the neural tube makes
is the primordium of the CNS
