Q

Once the Blastocyst adheres to endometrial epithelial, what begins to differentiate into cytotrophoblast and Syncytiotrophoblast?

A

TROPHOBLAST - SYNCYtiotrophoblast erods the endometrial blood vessels –> uteroplacental circulation formed

Q

What are the three types of Decidua and describe each

A
  1. Decidua BASALIS = between embryonic pole of blastocyst and myometrium 2. Decidua CAPSULARIS = covers the rest of the embryo 3. Decidua PARIETALIS = lines uterine cavity
18
Q

List the four types of fetal membranes (Fetal is FOUR)

A
  1. Amnion 2. Yolk Sac 3. Allantois 4. Umbilical Chord
19
Q

What is the function of the amniotic fluid?

A

Three main: - protective buffer for fetus -room for fetal movement -assist in regulation of fetal body temp

20
Q

MZ and DZ twins are how many chorions, amnions, and placenta?

A

a) MZ (one oocyte and one zygote) = one chorion, two amnions, one placenta b) DZ (*think TWOS - 2 oocytes and 2 zygotes) = two chorions, two amnions, and two placenta

21
Q

What structures arise from the Ectoderm once it forms from the epiblast?

A
  • epidermis, hair, nails, glands of skin - NEURAL CREST and derivatives ( cranial, spinal, sympathetic ganglia and assoc. nerves, PIGMENT cells of the skin)
22
Q

What structures arise from the Endoderm once it forms from the epiblast?

A
  • epithelial lining and glands of digestive and respiratory tracts
23
Q

What structures arise from the MESODERM once it forms from the epiblast? *MESO is MASSIVE*

A

1. Notochord

2. Somite a) sclerotome- vertebrae b)dermatome - dermis of DORSAL body region c) myotome - trunk and limb muscles

3. Intermediate Mesoderm (kidney +gonads)

4. Lateral Plate Mesoderm

a) Somatic

i. Parietal Serosa
ii. Derma of VENTRAL body
iii. Connective tissue of limbs (bones, joints, ligaments)

b) Splanchic Mesoderm

i. Wall of digestive and resp. tracts
ii. visceral serosa
iii. heart iv. blood vessels

24
Q

What must be degenerated in order for blastocyst implantation to occur?

A

Zona Pellucida

25
Q

During the later stages of pregancy maternal blood is separated from fetal blood by what?

A

Syncytiotrophoblast and Fetal Endothelium

26
Q

Prechordal Plate marks the site of future what?

A

Mouth (oropharyngeal membrane)

27
Q

What is the first indication of gastrulation in the embryo? (Trilaminar Disc)

A

Formation of the Primitive Streak

28
Q

Limb buds develop during what time period of development?

A

Weeks 4 - 8

29
Q

What promotes growth and development of the limbs?

A

AER - Apical Ectodermal Ridge –> inductive influence on the limb MESENCHYM

30
Q

What arises from the Paraxial Mesoderm?

A

*Somites

  • Dermatome (dermis)
  • Myotome (limb muscles)
31
Q

Bones and Blood vessels form from which limb element?

A

Lateral Plate Mesoderm

(intermediate = kidney and gonads ** DON’T MIX UP)

32
Q

What forms from the neural crest cells?

A

Schwann cells + Melanocytes

33
Q

What are the steps of limb patterning?

A
  1. Limb buds
  2. Paddle like buds develop from ventrolateral body wall
  3. Circular Groove appears - separated hand plate from upper limb and foot plate from lower one
  4. Digital Rays - mesoderm condensations in the hand and foot
  5. **Notches **- thin membrane separates the rays and digits become separated
  6. 2nd corcular constriction appears dividing UPPER LIMB (these buds developed 2 days b4) and LOWER LIMB
34
Q

What are the three axes that limb buds grow in?

A
  • proximal -distal
  • anterior - posterior
  • dorsal-ventral
35
Q

Pre-axial (cephalic) will be future _____.

Post axial (caudal) will be future _______.

A
  1. Flexor
  2. Extensor
36
Q

Proximal to distal growth of the limb buds (from the humerus/femur to the ulna/tibia) is dependant on what type of signaling from the AER?

A

FGF signaling from the Apical Ectodermal Ridge (AER)

37
Q

The upper limb rotates in what direction? The lower limb?

A

upper = 90 degrees LATERALLY (think elbows point out to sides = lateral)

lower = 90 degrees MEDIALLY

38
Q

What is a dermatome?

A

Area of the skin supplied by a single spinal nerve and its spinal ganglion

39
Q

Define:

  1. Amelia
  2. Meromelia
  3. Phocomeila
A
  1. Amelia = absence of an entire limb
  2. Meromelia = absence of part of a limb
  3. Phocomeila = short, poorly formed limb
40
Q

Define:

  1. Polydactyly
  2. Syndactyly
  3. Lobster Claw Deformity
A
  1. Polydactyly - extra digit
  2. Syndactyly - fusion of digits
  3. Lobster claw deformity - middle finger is absent
