Embryo USMLE Flashcards
give the day/week in a pregnancy– fertilization by sperm, initiating embryogenesis
day 0
give the day/week in a pregnancy –implantation (as a blastocyst)
w/in week 1
give the day/week in a pregnancy– bilaminar disk
w/in week 2
give the day/week in a pregnancy– gastrulation, primitive streak, notochord, and neural plate begin to form
w/in week 3
give the day/week in a pregnancy–neural tube formed. Organogenesis. Extremely susceptible to teratogens
Week 4
give the day/week in a pregnancy-heart begins to beat. Upper and lower limb buds begin to form
week 4
give the day/week in a pregnancy–genitalia have male/female characteristics
week 10
rule of 2s for 2nd week
2 germ layers (bilaminar disk): epiblast, hypoblast.
2 cavities: amniotic cavity, yolk sac
2 components to placenta: cytotrophoblast, syncytiotrophoblast
rule of 3s for 3rd week
3 germ layers (gastrula) ectoderm, mesoderm, endodderm
the epiblast (precursor to ectoderm) invaginates to form this.
primitive streak
cells from the primitive streak give rise to what
both intraembryionic mesoderm and endoderm
give some adult sxs that arise from the surface ectoderm
adenohypophysis, lens of eye, epithelial linings, epidermis
give some adult sxs that arise from the neuroectoderm
neurohypohyisis, CNS neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, pineal gland
give some adult sxs that arise from the neural crest cells
ANS, dorsal root ganglia,, cranial nerves, melanocytes, chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla, enterochromaffin cells, pia and arachnoid, celiac ganglion, schwann cells, odontoblasts, parafollicular (C) cells of thyroid, laryngeal cartilage, bones of the skull
give some adult sxs that arise from the mesoderm
dura mater, CT, mm, bone, CB sxs, lymphatics, blood, UG sxs, serous linings of body cavities (e.g., peritoneal), spleen, adrenal cortex, kidneys.
give some adult sxs that arise from the endoderm
gut tube epithelium and derivitives (e.g., lungs, liver, pancreas, thymus, parathyroid, thyroid follicular cells).
give some adult sxs that arise from the notochord
induces ectoderm to form neuroectoderm (neural plate). Its postnatal derivitive is the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disk
when are babies most susceptible to the effects of teratogens
3rd-8th weeks (organogenesis)
given the teratogen give some possible effects on the fetus:
etoh
birth defects and mental retardation (leading cause); FAS
given the teratogen give some possible effects on the fetus: ACE inhibitors
renal damage
given the teratogen give some possible effects on the fetus: Cocaine
abnormal fetal dvlpmt and fetal addiction
given the teratogen give some possible effects on the fetus: DES
vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma
given the teratogen give some possible effects on the fetus: iodide
congenital goiter or hypothyroidism
given the teratogen give some possible effects on the fetus: 13-cis-retinoic acid
extremely high risk for birht defects
given the teratogen give some possible effects on the fetus: thalidomide
limb defects (“flipper” limbs)
given the teratogen give some possible effects on the fetus: tobacco
preterm labor, placental problems, ADHD
given the teratogen give some possible effects on the fetus: warfarin, X-rays
multiple anomalies
what else can cause congenital malformations
fetal infections (TORCH)
the umbilical cord contains 2 umbilical artieries which do this
and 1 umbilical vein which does this
return deoxygenated blood from fetal internal illiac arteries
supplies oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus
this sx in the umbilical cord removes nitrogenous waste from the fetal bladder (lika a urethra)
allantoic duct
what does the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk arise from embryologically
truncus arteriosus
what do the smooth parts of left and right ventricle arise from embryologically
bulbus cordid
what do the trabeculated parts of left and right ventricle arise from embryologically
primitive ventricle
what do the trabeculated parts of left and right atrium arise from embryologically
primitive atria
what does the coronary sinus arise from embryologically
Left horn of sinus venosus (SV)
what does the smooth part of right atrium arise from embryologically
right horn of SV
what does the SVC arise from embryologically
right common cardinal vein and right anterior cardinal vein
fetal erythropoeis occurs in these 4 places (give them in correct order
1) Yolk sac (3-8 wk)
2) Liver (6-30 wk)
3) Spleen (9-28 wk)
4) Bone Marrow (28 wk onward)
mneu : Young Liver Synthesizes Blood
adult hemoglobin sx
α2β2
fetal hgb sx
α2γ2
bloood in umbilical vv is _____ saturated w/ O2
80%
fetal circulation involves 3 important shunts because this organ is not yet in use
lungs
Shunt 1: Most oxygenated blood reaching the heart via the IVC is diverted through this sx and pumped out of the aorta to the head
foramen ovale
Shunt 2: Deoxygenated blood from the SVC is expelled into the pulmonary artery and _________ to the lower body of the fetus
ductus arteriosus
Shunt 3: Blood entering the fetus through the umbilical vv is conducted via this into the IVC
ductus venosis
describe what happens at birth when the infant takes a breath
decreased resistance in pulmonary vasculature causes increased L atrial presure v. right atrial pressure; foramen ovale closes. Increased O2 leads to decrease in prostaglandins, causing closure of ductus arteriosis
