Embryology III Flashcards
During the 4th week, folding of the _____ occurs
Embryonic Disk
- In what two directions does folding of the embryonic disc occur?
- Craniocaudally
- Laterally
Folding of the embryonic disc occurs due to growth of 2 things..
- Embryo
- Amnion
During embryonic folding, this is the connection between the yolk sac (which is being pinched off) and the developing gut
Vitelline Duct
- In the developing embryo, which tissue is most dorsal?
- It causes folding, but stays put. Why does it stay where it is?
- The ectoderm
- It is anchored by the notochord
While it is ectoderm that expands during folding of the embryonic disc, what is really expanding?
Neural Plate
Identify the structures in the picture
Identify the structures in the picture (different angle)
- The gut tube is formed by
- The body wall is formed by
- Slanchnic Mesoderm
- Somatic Mesoderm
What happens to the yolk sac?
It degenerates and disappers in the fetal period
When does the primitive streak disappear?
By the end of the 4th week
Identify what NC and what the green arrow are
Green arrow = surface ectoderm, NC = neural crest cells
- The pharyngeal arches evolved from what?
- What are they in humans?
- Gill arches
- Lower jaw, face, and neck structures
- How many arches are there and what are their numbers?
- How do they develop?
- 5 (1,2,3,4,6)
- Craniocaudally
When do the pharyngeal archces begin to form and stop forming?
Day 22; ends early 5th week
The grooves between arches are called…
Clefts
Name the structures
What cells migrate to the pharyngeal arches?
Neural Crest Cells
Each pharyngeal arch is surrouned by:
Mesenchyme
- Within the pharyngeal arches is what tissue?
- Outside of them is…
- Endoderm
- Ectoderm
What 4 things do pharyngeal arches contain?
- Cartilage Element
- Striated muscle
- Cranial Nerve
- Aortic Arch Artery
Identify the pharyngeal cleft, pouch, pharynx floor, and pharyngeal membrane
Membrane is tissue between pouch and cleft
The cartilages in the pharyngeal arch is formed from
Neural Crest Cells
- In arch 1, this forms the incus and the alisphenoid
- Is this maxillary or mandibular?
- Palatopterygoquadrate bar
- Maxillary
