Embryology Flashcards
Urinary bladder and urethra are embryologically derived from
Primitive urogenital sinus
Persistent yolk sac lead to what condition
Meckels diverticulum
6th pharyngeal arch gives rise to
Intrinsic muscle of larynx
A Bicornuate uterus is due to
Abnormal fusion and reabsorption of the paramesonephric ducts

400 000
The vitelline veins give rise to
the hepatic veins
the inferior part of the inferior vena cava
the superior mesenteric vein
the portal vein.
β The inferior mesenteric vein is not a derivative of the vitelline vein. π
What is the best indicator of gestational age on a dating scan in the first trimester?
Crown rump length
Omphalocoele is an abnormal herniation of
Midgut and yolk sac
Passage of sperm through epidydmis takes how many days?
8-14 days
C cells of thyroid derived from
Pouch of the 4th pharyngeal arch
The cells of which structure form the chorionic villi?
Extraembryonic mesoderm
Equivalent to vagina in males
Prostatic utricle
P.s The prostatic utricle is a small, epithelium-lined diverticulum of the prostatic urethra.
From which structure is the external auditory meatus derived?
Cleft of 1st pharyngeal pouch
Origin of urogenital sinus
Endoderm
Protective layer of graafine follicle
Theca externa
P.s. zona pellucida is the protective layer of oocyte
The renal tubules develop from
metanephrons
Derivatives of 1st Pharyngeal Pouch
-Tubotympanic recess
-Middle Ear
-Auditory tube
-Tubal Tonsil
Derivatives of 2nd Pharyngeal Pouch
Palantine Tonsil
Derivatives of 3rd Pharyngeal Pouch
Dorsal: Inferior Parathyroid Gland
Ventral: Thymus gland
Derivatives of 4th Pharyngeal Pouch
Dorsal: superior parathyroid gland
Ventral: Ultimobranchial body
Derivatives of 5th Pharyngeal Pouch
-Ultimobranchial body (fuses with lateral lobe of thyroid gland)
-Parafollicular cells
embryological origin of perineal body
Tip of Urorectal septum
At what stage of meiosis is the oocyte after ovulation?
Metaphase 2
At what age does meconium first appears in fetal terminal ileum?
10-16 weeks
the origin of renal tubules
Mesonephric blastema
At what gestation does physiological gut herniation occur?
6 weeks return at 10 weeks
From which germ layer does the kidney develop?
Intermediate mesoderm
Cells type present in human corpus luteum?
Granulosa Cells
Cells of pituitary gland secreting growth hormone are located in
Pars Distalis
Intraembryonic coelom forms within which structure?
Lateral Plate mesoderm
Which best describes the process of compaction?
It leads to the formation of the morula after the 16 cell stage
Embryology of bladder trigone
Intermediate Mesoderm
Approximately how many oocytes are present in ovaries at birth?
1 million
How many days after fertilization does the blastocyst form?
5 days
Approximately how many oocytes are present in ovaries at 20 weeks of gestation?
6-7 millions
How many days after fertilization does the morula form?
4 days
In which phase of oocyte development does zona pellucida appears around the ovum
Primary Oocyte
Layer surrounding the zona pellucida
cumulus oophorus
Embryological origin of Anal canal
The upper part of the anal
canal is derived from endoderm
The lower part is derived from ectoderm.
The lining and blood supply of anal canal
The upper two-thirds are lined with
columnar epithelium and derive their blood supply from the superior rectal artery (which is a branch of the inferior mesenteric artery).
The lower third, however, is lined with
stratified squamous epithelium and derives its blood supply from the inferior rectal artery (which is a branch of the Internal pudendal artery).
When does oocytogenisis complete
Birth
When does 1st meiotic division of oocyte is completed
Puberty
When does 2nd meiotic division of oocyte is completed
Fertilization
The forst mitotic division of the zygote is achieved at
30 hours post fertilization
What is gastrulation process
Itβs formation of three germ layers
External carotid derived from which aortic arch
1st (debatable 3rd)
When does fertilization occur
24 hour after ovulation
What is blastocyst composed of?
Inner cell mass (embryoblast)οΏΌ: later forms embryonic tissue
Outer layer (Trophoblast): later forms extra embryonic tissue i.e placenta
When does implantation occur
Day 6 of fertilization
Phases of Embryogenesis
- Fertilization (in ampulla, 12-24 hrs after ovulation)
- Gastrulation: formation of three germ layer (3rd week of IU life)
- Organogenesis
The neural plate may be seen by which day
Day 18
The neural tube may be seen by which day
Day 22
When cranial and caudal neuropores closes?
What is the result of their closure failure?
The cranial neuropore closes at day 24, failure of its closure leads to anencephaly
The caudal neuropore closes by day 26, failure of its closures leads to spina bifida.
When does primitive heart begins to beat?
from day 21
Week 3
The primitive cloaca is connected to the umbilicus by
the allantois
While urinary bladder grows, the allantois constricts and become thick fibrous cord called
the urachus (represented in adults as the median umbilical ligament)
The anal canal is derived from two embryological tissues
The upper part of the anal canal is derived from endoderm.
While the lower part is derived from ectoderm.
Demarcated by the pectinate line.
