PTX2
what weeks does organogenesis happen?
3-8
what are the 3 phases of embryonic development?
growth and proliferation
morphogenesis
differentiation
what is growth and proliferation
cell division and elaboration of products
what is morphogenesis?
development of shape, size of a particular organ or part of the body
what is differentiation
maturation of physiological processes
when does exposure to teratogens occur?
week 4-8
what happens during gastrulation?
bilaminar embryonic disc is converted inti trilaminar disc
what are examples of embryonic ectoderm
Skin (epidermis, hair, nail), CNS,PNS, sensory epithelia of the eye, ear, nose & other structures (pituitary, mammary, sweat glands, enamel of teeth), liver (except the parenchyma), adrenal medulla etc.
what are examples of embryonic endoderm?
Epithelial lining of RS, GIT, glands, liver, pancreas, thyroid, parathyroid parenchyma, urinary bladder etc.
what are examples of embryonic mesoderm?
muscle, bones, cartilage, dermis, vascular system (most of the CVS connective tissues, muscles, blood cells and bone marrow, vessels associated with organs and tissues), urogenital system except bladder, spleen, suprarenal gland cortex etc.
what gives rise to the parietal and visceral mesoderm?
lateral plate mesoderm
what weeks does the gut tube form?
3rd and 4th
what is the gut tube closed by?
oropharyngeal membrane at cranial and at the caudal end by cloacal membrane
where does the esophagus develop from?
cranial part of the primitive gut tube
where does the Laryngo-tracheal diverticulum (lung bud) develop from?
ventral wall of the foregut
what does the trachea-esophageal septum divide the foregut tube into?
trachea and esophagus
at what week does the foregut dilate to form the stomach into?
4th week
what does the differential growth of the stomach wall create?
greater and lesser curvatures
why does the stomach rotate and adapt?
to fit with the other developing organs
what kind of rotation does the stomach undergo to create the final adult position?
90 degrees and anterior-posterior roation
what is the mesentery that attaches the dorsal and ventral wall of the stomach?
mesogastrium
what does the rotation along the longitudinal axis that pulls the dorsal mesentery to the left create?
omental bursa
where is the duodenum formed from?
caudal part of the foregut and the cranial part of the midgut
where is the blood supply of the duodenum?
coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery
