Embryology - RESP Flashcards
Define the stages of embryology
PRE-EMBYONIC 0-3 WEEKS EMBRYONIC4-8 WEEKS FOETAL 9-40 WEEKS - Postnatal, Childhood, Adolescence
Describe the formation of the gametes
TESTIS: SPERMATOGONIA CELLS (seminiferous tubules)
=> divide = sperm cells (diploid)
OVARY: OOGONIA (follicles)
=> ovum (diploid)
MEIOSIS
- 2 divisions, 4 daughter HAPLOID sperm cells
- arrest. after 1st division, 2nd division follicle develop adolescence: 1 ovum and 3 polar bodies
Describe fertilisation
sperm pronucleus. fuses w/ ovum pronucleus = ZYGOTE (DIPLOID)
Describe the formation of the blastocyst and its implantation into the uterine wall
- ZYGOTE MITOTIC DIVISIONS = MORULA (rapid succession)
- TROPHOBLAST (OUTER)
INNCER CELL MASS (CELL ACCUM.)
BLASTOCYSTIC CAVITY (CAVITY) -diffusion of nutrients - CILIATED EPITHELIA of UTERINE TUBE
- BLASTOCYST BURIES INTO ENDOMETRIUM
Formation of the placenta, placental villi and the general functions of the
placenta
WEEK 2
1. CHORION VILLI FORMATION (TROPHOBLAST DIVISION)
- TROPHOBLAST INVASION = IMPLANTATION
- PLACENTAL FORMATION @ POLAR REGION
- HCG SECRETION = ENDOMETRIUM ATTACHMENT
- WEEK 12 PLACENTA DEVELOPS = INDEPENDENT.
ENDOMETRIUM = DECIDUA & DECIDUA BASALIS + MATERNAL. VESSELS = NUTRIENT
Describe the formation of the bilaminar disc
INNER CELL MASS of BLASTOCYST (x2) = BILAMINAR DISC containing EPIBLAST (amniotic) & HYPOBLAST (yolk)
Describe the formation of the trilaminar disc
- PRIMITIVE STREAK EPIBLAST
- 15th day: STREAK MITOSIS and sinks forming layers between EPIBLAST AND HYPOBLAST
=> ECTODERM, MESODERM, ENDODERM (GASTRULATION)
Function of placenta
- Nutrient
- Transport waste & gases
- Immune
Smooth foetal part rough maternal part
Neuralation
- ECTODERM sinks to MESODERM = cluster of cells disconnect = NOTOCHORD sits below mesoderm
- NOTOCHORD INDUCES NEURALATION = NEURAL PLATE @ ECTODERM, replacing streak (sonic).
- NC disintegrates or remains as NUCLEUS PULPOSUS OF VERTEBRA - NEURAL PLATE = NEURAL CREST = NEURAL TUBE
- NEURAL TUBE sinks to MESODERM
> upper end divides = brain vesicles
> rest = spinal cord
SOMITE FORMATION
- MESODERM THICKENS AFTER NEURAL TUBE FORMATION. DIVIDES:
- PARAXIAL MESODERM
- INTERMEDIATE PLATE MESODERM
- LATERAL PLATE MESODERM (2 LEAVES) - Paraxial mesoderm = 44 pairs of SOMITES
=> DERMATOME (migrate under ectoderm: skin)
=> MYOTOME
=> SCLEROTOME (encircles NT)
- D.TOME M.TOME BRING NERVE SUPPLY AS MIGRATE - WEEK 4 EMBRYO FOLDING
EMBRYO FOLDING
WEEK 4-8 = MOST VULNERABLE
- LATERAL PLATE weighs down and FOLDS. Head and tail ends
- ENDODERM (GUT)
- LATERAL => SPLANCHNIC (VISCERAL), INTRAEMBRYONIC COELOM, SOMATIC (PARIETAL)
- ECTODERM ->amniotic sac surrounds
Describe the origin of the pleurae.
PLEURAE = lateral mesoderm
- visceral SPLANCHNIC
- pleural space INTRAEMBRYONIC COELOM
- parietal SOMATIC
Describe the origin of the lung buds.
Lung buds from the foregut from the endoderm gut tube at 4 weeks from the ventral wall
Respiratory formation & development
- W4: RESP DIVERTICULUM buds out from ventral wall = trachea. + lungs
- OESOPHAGOTRACHEAL SEPTUM
- LUNG BUDS ENLARGE push splanchnic towards somatic and surround. PERICARDIOPERITONEAL CANAL
- PERIPHERAL SOMATIC MESODERM FOLDS = PLEUROPERICARDIAL FOLD shutting off PERICARDIAL CAVITY
Stages of resp development
W4-7: embryonic. LUNG BUD
W7-17: pseudo glandular: conducting tree development
W17-27: canalicular. alveolar ducts, epithelium differentiation, pneumocyte differentiation
W27-40: saccular. alveolar sacs, primitive alveoli and surfactant. GAS EXCHANGE BEGINS.
POSTNATAL: alveolar profileration
