Q

How is definitive endoderm formed

A
  • epiblast cells move towards PS
  • detach from epiblast
  • insert into hypoblast —> replace hypoblast cells
  • new cells formed —> definitive endoderm

21
Q

What does paraxial mesoderm form

A
  • majority of skeleton
  • skeletal muscles
  • dermis of skin
22
Q

What does intermediate mesoderm

A
  • glands
  • internal reproductive tracts
  • kidneys
23
Q

What does lateral plate mesoderm form

A
  • lining of body cavities
24
Q

Which cavity does the primitive streak form

A

Amniotic cavity

25
Q

When do somites form

A

Day 20 post fertilisation

26
Q

How do somites form

A

Paraxial mesoderm starts dividing into blocks

27
Q

Where do somites begin

A
Cranial region 
|
|
|
|
|
Caudal region
28
Q

How many somites are formed

A

42-44 pairs

29
Q

What is the rate of somite formation

A

3 or 4 pair per day

30
Q

Why is somites formation’s predictability useful

A

Estimate embryo’ s age

31
Q

Name two disorders of abnormal gastrulation

A
  • Sirenomelia - Mermaid syndrome

- Sacrococcygeal Teratoma - SCT

32
Q

What are the causes of sirenomelia

A
  • not enough migration of epiblast cells

- insufficient mesoderm is formed in caudal region

33
Q

What does Sirenomelia cause

A
  • abnormalities of urogenital system

- lower limbs

34
Q

What causes SCT

A

Remnants of primitive streak

35
Q

What is the most common tumour in newborn babies

A

SCT - 1 in 35-40,000

36
Q

How common is SCT in females

A

80%

37
Q

What does the primitive node form whilst the primitive streak is regressing

A

Notochordal process

38
Q

How is notochordal plate formed

A

Notochordal process fusing with endoderm

39
Q

How is notochord formed

A
  • Notochordal plate separates from endoderm

- fuses

40
Q

What is the first event in the development of the CNS

A

Initiating neurulation

41
Q

What does notochord initiate

A
  • nurulation

- formation of vertebrae from somites

42
Q

How is the induction of nurualation done

A
  • initiated by signals from notochord
  • overlying ectoderm thickens
  • Nepal plate formed
43
Q

What does notochord induce somites into

A
  • scleromote
  • myotome
  • dermatome
44
Q

What does sclerotium develop into

A
  • bone

- cartilage

45
Q

What does myotome develop into

A

Skeletal muscle

46
Q

What does dermatome develop into

A

Dermis

47
Q

How do sclerotium cells form the vertebrae

A
  • surround notochord —> vertebral body

- surround neural tube —> vertebral arch

48
Q

What is the fate of notochord

A
  • majority degenerates

- remnants persist as nucleus pulposus of intervertebral discs

49
Q

What can abnormal induction of sclerotomes cause

A

Spinal defects

50
Q

Give examples of spinal defects

A
  • A. Spina bifida
  • B. Meningocele
  • C. Myelomeningocele
