Embryology Flashcards
From what does the intraembryonic coelom develop?
lateral plate mesoderm
The intraembryonic coelom splits the mesoderm into what 2 portions?
Somatic (parietal) mesoderm - lines body wall
Splanchnic (visceral) mesoderm - lines gut tube
What 2 locations have endoderm and ectoderm directly connected?
Stomodeum (primordial mouth) & cloacal membrane (primordial anus)
What is pulled anteriorly during embryonic head folding?
septum transversum, primordial heart, pericardial coelom, and oropharyngeal membrane
What is pulled anteriorly during embryonic tail folding?
allantois, connecting stalk, cloacal membrane, and primitive streak
What occurs to the dorsal and ventral mesenteries?
Dorsal remains surrounding ABD organs; Ventral disappears
What is the outcome of lateral body folding?
a uniform body wall is created anteriorly except at the connecting stalk (umbilical cord)
What 3 body cavities does the intraembryonic coelom divide into?
pericardial cavity
pleural cavity
peritoneal cavity
What do the pleuropericardial folds separate?
Separate pleural cavities and pericardial cavity (separates heart from lungs and lungs from each other)
What do the pleruoperitoneal folds separate?
separate pleural cavities from peritoneal cavity
How is the pleuropericardial membrane formed and what does it create?
formed by enlarging pleuropericardial folds squeezing together in the midline; leads to formation of primitive mediastinum and fibrous pericardium
Explain how the pleuroperitoneal membrane grows and closes?
attach to the posterior body wall and grow forward; right fold slightly smaller due to liver growth; myoblasts (precursor to muscle) complete closure process
What makes up the diaphragm?
septum transversum - central tendon pleuroperitoneal membrane - primordial diaphragm Dorsal mesentery Myoblasts (crura - 2 arms of diaphragm) Phrenic N.
What will form from the laryngotracheal groove?
primordial of the tracheobronchial tree and laryngotracheal diverticulum (lung bud)
What is the purpose of the tracheoesophageal folds?
to create the tracheoesophageal septum that will divide the laryngotracheal tube (trachea) and the esophagus
What parts of the respiratory system stem from splanchnic mesoderm and NCC?
larynx cartilage is NCC and the rest of the respiratory system is splanchnic mesoderm
Define recanalization
laryngotracheal groove is converted into a T shaped inlet by arytenoid swellings and then covered by layngeal epithelium; 10th week - the epithelium is removed and subsequent structures develop (recanalization)
