Embryology (week 3, week 4-8, and abnormal development) Flashcards
What is the formation of the germ layer called
Gastrulation
Where is the primitive streak found
formed in the midline of the epiblast by the invagination of cells
When can the axis of the embryo be determined
by the formation of the primitive streak
The epiblast cells displace to between the hypoblast around day 15 and from what
a trilaminar disc - specialised germ layers
What is the three layers of the trilaminar disc
Endoderm
Mesoderm
Ectoderm
What is NEURULATION
neural tube formation
What is the formation of the notochord
Cells sink down from primitive streak in the ectoderm and sit below the mesoderm
What does the notochord induce and how?
The formation of the neural tube
sends signal up for the ectoderm to thicken forming a neural plate, the neural plate then sink down forming a neural tube
What induces the mesoderm to thicken
the neural tube
What three parts does the mesoderm separate into
in order of the closest to the neural tube to the furthest away
Paraxial mesoderm
Intermediate plate mesoderm
Lateral plate mesoderm
What does the paraxial mesoderm segment to from
somites
What does the intermediate plate mesoderm go on the develop
urogenetial system (reproductive and urinary)
The lateral plate mesoderm splits to from what
somatic mesoderm
splanchnic mesoderm
What does the lateral plate mesoderm go on to develop
The body cavities
The pleura
The peritoneum - forms the lining of the abdominal cavity
What is the space between the splanchnic and the somatic mesoderm in the later plate called
intraembryonic coelom
