Q

Neural tube formation

A

a few days after gastrulation
notochord produces factors that drive ectoderm to form neural plate. Mesoderm and ectoderm rise up to form neural folds while neural groove sinks down between
Neural folds reach out and contact each other. Neural tobe separate from surface ectoderm and descends into embryo. Neural tube cavity joins with amniotic cavity through rostral and caudal neuropore. These close about 1-2 days after cardiovascular system is functional. Issues if no closure.
Closure can be in these stages all along the tube at the same time
Begins in cervical area and progresses in both directions (so abnormal segments can develop between normal segments)

Q

positional changes of the spinal cord

A

in early development, spinal cord completely fills vertebral column
sipinal nerves come out of vetebral column and come into contact with bundles of muscle (somites).
Vertebrae grows faster so spinal cord moves relatively cranially, causing spinal nerve roots to elongate. (Need to maintain contact with muscle to survive)

Q

development of cerebrum and diencephalon

A

cells in mantle layer divide and then are signaled to move through marginal layer to the outside. These cells continue to divide. Then there is a third migration of cells that move farther past this second layer. Cells are forming functional connections and communicating with the cells that have already migrated to make sure it is a good environment.
These migrations are why the grey matter is on the outside of the cerebrum, but inside of the spinal cord and allow for convoluted surface of the brain with sulcus and gyrus

89
Q

closure of umbilical arteries

A

dam chews off the umbilicus

90
Q

closure of umbilical vein

A

due to loss of blood pressure and less prostaglandin E2

91
Q

Fetal circulation

A

Umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from placenta to liver. Here it either goes through tissue of liver to caudal vena cava, or go through shunt to bypass parenchyma of liver to cauda vena cava. Blood is now purple because it is mixing with low O2 blood in CVC.
1st route from CVC: through oval foramen between septa 1 &2 to left atrium then left ventricle and aorta.
2nd route: goes to right ventricle mixes with more low O2 blood from cranial vena cava and goes to pulmonary trunk.
Ductus arteriosus joins blood from pulmonary trunk with aorta.
Aorta descends into umbilical arteries.

92
Q

which has more oxygen? umbilical vein or umbilical artery?

A

umbilical vein

93
Q

closure of ductus venosus

A

usually before birth, but can also close due to changes in blood pressure and less prostaglandin E2

94
Q

closure of oval foramen

A

left atrium has lower blood pressure than right atrium in vivo because right atrium is receiving more blood, As lungs expand the pressure on the left increases and right decreases because there is less placental return, pushing septum 1 into septum 2

95
Q

closure of ductus arteriosis

A

drop in blood pressure and less prostaglandin E2, takes the longest to close, starting at birth to about 1-2 days after

96
Q

Q

urogenital ridge

A

forms urinary and reproductive system, made from intermediate mesoderm and coelomic mesothelium

111
Q

Which early kidney becomes adult kidney?

A

Metanephros, but there is remnants of pronephros and mesonephros

112
Q

pronephros

A

7-8 tubules, non-functional, pronephric duct persists as the mesonephric duct, develops in cervical area/ embryologic neck

113
Q

mesonephros

A

consists of 70-80 tubules, tubules
look similar to pronephric tubules, have glomerulus at one end connected to the mesonephric duct at the other, rapidly degenerates from cranial to caudal

114
Q

derivatives of caudal tubules of mesonephros

A

caudal tubules and duct remain to form testicular channels, epididymis, ductus deferens and contributes to gonad development in both sexes

115
Q

metanephros

A

adult kidney, consists of metanephric diverticulum (ureteric bud) and metanephrogenic mass (mesenchyme). Metanephric diverticulum come off mesonephric duct and continues as the metanephrogenic mass

Q

derivatives of metanephric diverticulum

A

ureter, renal pelvis, calyxes and collecting ducts

117
Q

derivatives of metanephrogenic mass

A

nephrons: functional unit of kidney that produce urine. Production stops just before or just after birth and never restarts. Cannot be replaced in adult, lost with age

118
Q

variation in macroscopic apearance

A

unfused lobes in cow

variation resulting from interactions between metanephric diverticulum and metanephrogenic mass

119
Q

development of urinary bladder

A

Urinary bladder develops from expansion of the urachus and cranial end of the urogenital sinus

120
Q

urogenital sinus

A

cranial portion forms bladder along with urachus

Caudal portion forms pelvic and penile urethra in male, and pelvic urethra, vestibule and caudal vagina in female

121
Q

Duct incorporation and reorganization

A

metanephric diverticulum starts out not opening into the bladder, then bladder grows dorsally to incorporate these tubules so that mesonephric duct which becomes ductus deferens opens closer to the urethra and ureter opens into the bladder.
This swapping results in the trigone region

122
Q

A

normally, differential growth moves kidney from pelvis to sublumbar location.
ectopic kidneys remain in pelvis
doesn’t result in many issues until animal might become pregnant, putting a lot of stress on the kidney

127
Q

patent urachus

A

urachus does not degenerate, increased risk of umbilical infections

128
Q

Why is the urachus needed?

A

there is a membrane covering the urogenital sinus to prevent urine from leaving into amniotic cavity
Later this membrane breaks down and urine can leave into allantoic and amniotic cavities

129
Q

early reproductive development

A

mesonephric duct is retained in the male, paramesonephric duct associated with female development
gonad and external genitalia are able to develop into either sex at this point

130
Q

hormones in male differentiation

A

Testis produces Mullerian inhibiting substance from sertoli cell to suppress paramesonephric duct and testosterone from leydig cells so mesonephric duct is stimulated to form ductus deferens and epididymis. Testis also produces dihydrotestosterone that stimulates external genitalia to produce penis, scrotum, prostate, seminal vesicle, and bulbourethral gland

131
Q

hormones in female differentiation

A

ovary produces estrogens, including from maternal and placental sources to stimulate paramesonephric duct to form uterine tube, uterine horn, body, cervix, and cranial portion of vagina, and stimulates external genitalia to form labia, clitoris, and caudal portion of vagina

132
Q

Primordial germ cells

genital ridge

A

primordial germ cells undergo replications.

134
Q

136
Q

formation of testis

A

rete testis and efferent ductules are derived from mesonephric tubule.
Mesonephric duct becomes ductus deferens and epididymis

137
Q

Gubernaculum

A
mesenchymal tissue (embryologic connective tissue) between the testicle and scrotum. 
Influences extracellular matrix to produce hyaluronic acid to increase water and well to dilate inguinal canal and scrotum. Mesenchymal cells then decrease hyaluronic acid and water to make gubernaculum shrink and pull testicle into the scrotum
Tethers the testicle in location. Becomes ligament of the tail of the epididymis and the proper ligament of the testes
138
Q

ovarian development

A

gonadal cords break down to surround oocyte to form follicular cells
Ended by birth

139

Q

genital tubercle

A

forms Glans clitoris or penis, erectile tissue and the bulb of the vaginal vestibule

150
Q

cloaca

A

sewer, present in non mammals after birth
closed by cloacal membrane
Urorectal septum forms at junction of hindgut and urogenital sinus to divide the cloaca. Grows caudally and divides cloacal membrane into anal membrane and urogenital membrane, which both break down in normal development

151
Q

anogenital distance

A

distance between anus and glans, this is shorter in the female

152
Q

malformation of genitalia

Intersex conditions

153
Q

testicular feminization

A

not uncommon in pigs, XY chromosome but not enough testosterone produced in utero to cause differentiation or testosterone receptors are defective, anogenital distance is increased compared to female

154
Q

Does male or female differentiation occur earlier?

A

male differentiation beginning with paramesonephric duct

155
Q

Fee martin

A

Most commonly in cattle, dizygotic twins with one male and one female
Blood supplies of developing twins join together 95% of the time and hormones pass between. Female is most severely impacted because male differentiation begins first. Derivatives of paramesonephric duct are impacted the most.

rumen develops as an expansion of the fundus. Project to left body wall.
reticulum is cranioventral pocket of developing rumen. Also on the left
Omasum develops as a bulge along the lesser curvature, projects to right body wall.
Abomasum is the remainder of the stomach, location is variable

167
Q

development of midgut

A

supported by elongated dorsal mesentery and cranial mesenteric artery
Cecum forms as evagination of caudal limb of loop
Loops towards umbilicus and yolk sac, herniates into the yok sac because the liver is so large during development

168

A

depression that becomes nasal cavity

184
Q

cleft lip

A

failure to close fissure between medial nasal process and maxillary process

185
Q

oronasal cavity formation

A

oral and nasal cavities are freely communicating through oronasal cavity. Oronasal membrane breaks down. Nasal pits excavate caudally as well as medially to connect together. Primary palate forms from maxillary process to separate oral and nasal cavities and right and left nasal cavities.

186
Q

oronasal cavity separation

A

abnormally large tongue regresses in size so secondary palate can have more horizontal orientation and grow together. This is a small time window, so if it doesn’t close now, it stays open as cleft palate.
Nasal septum needs to grow down to contact secondary palate to separate right and left.
Secondary palates need to fuse with each other, as well as close primary palate.
Rostral 2/3 is soft membranous right after closure, then ossifies into hard palate.

187
Q

prognosis for cleft palate

A

difficult to manage with higher incidence of pneumonia, so euthanized.

188
Q

respiratory morphogenesis

A

esophageal and tracheal separation, Laryngotracheal groove is in ventral pharynx between pharyngeal arches 4 and 6. Trachea is being pinched off ventral part of esophagus
Sometimes separation does not occur

189
Q

lung development

A

alveoli are late developing structure. Greatest percentage develop in postnatal period.

190
Q

Why are there respiratory movements in utero?

A

If joint doesn’t move in development, it won’t move after birth. Also exercising respiratory muscles. These movements involve inhaling amniotic fluid that is expelled through lymphatics and capillaries

191
Q

Pulmonary transition to postnatal life

A

during birth, need to expel amniotic fluid from lungs, and start breathing through gas exchange. Relies on normal presentation.
Once on the ground, the umbilical connection is lost and the lungs and alveoli need to expand to increase surface area for gas exchange and get rid of fluid.
Note: hanging animal by rear legs hinders expansion of lungs.
