Embryology 3: Derivative of germ layers Flashcards
What are the cells of the bilaminar
- hypoblast
- epiblast
What happens in gastrulation
Bilaminar —> trilaminar
When does gastrulation commence
- week 3
- as primitive streak (PS) is formed
What is established by the time gastrulation commences
- cranial/ caudal
- right/left
What is the name of the condition where the R to L asymmetry is reversed
Inversus
How common is inversus
1 in 10000
How harmful is complete situs inversus
Often harmless
How common is Kartagene syndrome
20% of patients
Give example of partial situs inversus
Dextrocardia
How is definitive endoderm formed
- epiblast cells move towards PS
- detach from epiblast
- insert into hypoblast —> replace hypoblast cells
- new cells formed —> definitive endoderm
How is mesoderm formed
- epiblast cells continue moving down PS
- middle layer between epiblast & definitive endoderm —> mesoderm
How is ectoderm formed
- remaining epiblast become ectoderm
What completes gastrulation
Formation of ectoderm
What does trilaminar embryonic disc contain
- ectoderm
- mesoderm
- endoderm
What are the two types of mesoderm that are continuous with each other
Intraembryonic & extraembryonic
Where does every body system come from
The 3 germ layers
What does Ectoderm develop into
- CNS
- PNS
- Epidermis of skin
What does Mesoderm develop into (Day 16)
- Skeletal & smooth muscles
- Heart
- Urinary system
- Reproductive tract
- Kidneys
What does Endoderm develop into (Day 14-15)
- Epithelial lining of GI tract
- Glands
- Bladder
What are the three levels of mesoderm organisations
- Paraxial (close to middle)
- Intermediate
- Lateral plate
