Notochord becomes what in adult life?
Nucleus pulposus of intervertebral disc
Muscles of tongue derived from?
Occipital myotomes
1 and 2nd brachial arches make up anterior 2/3
3rd and 4th brachial arches make of posterior 1/3
Day 0 embryogenesis
Fertilization by sperm, forming zygote initiating embryogenesis
Day 3 Embryogenesis
Morula (at entry of uterus)
Day 2 embryogenesis
Zygote at ampulla of Fallopian tube
day 5 embryogenesis
Blastocyst
Within week 1 of embryogenesis
hCG secretion begins around the time of implanatation
Within week 2 of embryogenesis
Bilaminar disc (epiblast, hypoblast)
Within week 3 of embryogenesis
Trilaminar disc
Gastrulation
Primitive streak, notochord, mesoderm and its organization and neural plate begin to form
Weeks 3-8 of embryogenesis
Neural tube formed by neuroectoderm and closes by week 4
Organogenesis
Extermely susceptible to teratogens
Week 4 of embryogenesis
Heart begins to beat
Upper and lower limb buds begin to form
4 weeks=4 limbs
Week 6 of embryogenesis
Fetal cardiac activity visible by transvaginal ultrasound
Week 10 of embryogenesis
Genitalia have male/female characteristics
Surface Ectoderm
Adenohypophysis, lens of eye, epithelial linings of oral cavity, sensory organs of ears, and olfactory epithelium
Epidermis
anal canal below the pectinate line
parotid, sweat and mammary glands
Neuroectoderm
brain (neurohypophysis, CNS neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, pineal gland)
retina and optic nerve
Spinal cord
Neural Crest
PNA (dorsal root ganglia, cranial nerves, celiac ganglion, Schwann cells ANS)
melanocytes, chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla
Parafollicular cells of thyroid, pia and arachnoid, bones of skull, odontoblasts, aorticopulmonary septum
Mesoderm
Muscle, bone, CT, serous linings of body cavities, spleen, cardiovascular structures, lymphatics, blood, wall of gut tube, vagina, kidney, adrenal cortex, dermis, testes, ovaries
Notochord (in mesoderm)induces ectoderm to form neuroectoderm (neural plate)
VACTERL defects
Vertebral, Anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheo-esophageal fistula, renal defects, limb defects
Endoderm
Gut tube epithelium (anal above the pecitnate line), most of urethra,
luminal epithelial derivates (lungs, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, Eustachian tube, thymus, parathyroid, thyroid follicular cells)
Allantois derives into
Umbilical arteries and vein
Urachus (duct between fetal bladder and yolk sac forms about the 3rd week)
Patent Urachus
Failure of urachus to obliterate
Urine discharge from umbilicus (exacerbated by crying, starving, voiding and prone position)
Urachal sinus
Failure to close distal urachus
Presents with periumbilical tenderness, and purulent discharge from umbilicus and recurrent infections
Urachal cyst
partial failure of central urachus to obliterate
Fluid filled cavity lined with uroepithelium between umbilicus and bladder
Can lead to infection or adenocarcinoma
Vitelline duct
Obliterates in 7th week
Connects yolk sac to midgut lumen
Vitelline fistula
Failure of vitelline duct to close
Meconium discharge from umbilicus
Meckel Diverticulum
Failure of vitelline duct to close completely
Patent portion attached to ileum-fibrous band from diverticulum to umbilicus (true diverticulum)
Presents with: ectopic gastric mucosa and/or pancreatic tissue-melena, periumbilical pain and ulcers
1st aortic arch
part of maxillary artery
2nd aortic arch
stapedial artery and hyoid artery
3rd aortic arch
Common carotid artery and part of internal carotid
4th aortic arch
left=aortic arch
Right: right subclavian artery
6th aortic arch
Proximal part of pulmonary arteries and ductus arteriosus
Clefts, arches and pouches
CAP
Clefts=ectoderm
Arches=mesoderm and neural crest cells
Pouches=endoderm
1st brachial cleft derivative
External auditory meatus
2nd through 4th brachial cleft
temporary cervical sinuses which are obliterated
if persist lead to brachial cleft cyst within lateral neck
