Embryology Flashcards
When does gastrulation occur?
Third week of development, marking the start of the embryonic period
What is gastrulation
Bilaminar disc, epiblast and hypoblast Converted into a trilaminar disk Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
How does gastrulation occur
Primitive streak forms in the epiblast, leading to migration and invagination of epiblast cells
Why does gastrulation occur
To ensure the correct placement and precursor tissue to allow subsequent morphogenesis to take place
How many weeks after fertilisation is the embryonic period
3 to 8
teratogenesis Effects which stage of development the most and why
Pre-embryonic - lethal effects
embryonic - the most sensitive - As this period where systems were developed
fetal - less sensitive - period about growth and function maturation of systems
What structure appears on epiblast layer during gastrulation
Primitive streak, with no laptop
What happens to hyperblast layer in the formation of trilaminar disc
Is displaced, does not form any of the three layers of the trilaminar disc
Name the three layers the epiblast differentiates into
Ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm
Which two parts of the trilaminar disc which are not 3 layers
Future anus and future mouth
Ectoderm will feature develop
ecto= outside
Organs and structures that maintain contact with outside world
such as the nervous system and the epidermis
Mesoderm future develop
Supporting tissues, muscle cartilage and bone vascular systems including heart and vessels
Endoderm will future develop
Internal structures, epithelial lining of GI track, respiratory tract
Immotile cilia can result in
situs inverters
Howard left and right asymmetry produced
Ciliated cells at the node result in leftward flow of signal molecules. Site-specific signalling cascade initiated. Absence of signal results in right sidedness
Which layer does the notochord form in
Mesoderm
Notochord in neurulation leads to
Solid model cells running down the midline. Send signal to overlying ectoderm to differentiate into neur ectoderm.Electrical signal causes overlying ectoderm to thicken. Slip a shape neural plate Edges elevate out of the pain of the disc and card towards each other creating the neural tube
Name of first cavity inside embryo
Intra embryonic coelom
What do somites derived from
Pariaxial mesoderm
Total number somites
31
