Embryology 2 Flashcards
What happens during week 3?
How is the primitive streak formed?
Formed in the midline of the epiblast by the dipping in of cells (invagination)
What is formed after the primitve streak is formed?
The axis of the embryo is formed
Where do epiblast layers migrate to?
Space between epiblast and the hypoblast layers, cells then displace the hypoblast
From the original epiblast, what three layers are formed?
What are the names of this TRILAMINAR disk?
What is gastrulation?
Formation of three germ layers
Ectoderm - blue
Mesoderm - red
Endoderm - ?
Yellow
What layer does the primitive streak form from?
Ectoderm
What is the name given to the solid tube of cells formed from the ectoderm called?
The notochord
What induces the ectodermal cells in the midline to form a neural tube?
The notochord
What is the precursor for the neural tube?
The neural plate
What is neurulation?
What is the effect of the neural tube on the mesoderm?
Causes the mesoderm to thicken
What happens after the mesoderm thickens?
It splits into three parts
