Embyrology and Reproductive anatomy Flashcards
mutation in what gene can cause holoprosencephaly?
sonic hedgehog
Involved in patterning along anterior-posterior axis; CNS development; produced at base of limbs
sonic hedgehog
Necessary for proper dorsal-ventral axis organization. produced at apical ectodermal ridge
Wnt-7
Lengthening of limbs, stimulates mitosis of underlying mesoderm; Produced at apical ectodermal ridge
FGF
Involved in segmental organization of empbryo
Hox
Bilaminar disk forms
2 weeks
Trilaminar disk forms
3 weeks
Gastrulation
3 weeks
hCG secretion begins
within 1 week
limb buds begin to form
4 weeks
Can differentiate genitalia
10 weeks
Most susceptible to teratogens
3-8 weeks
Layers of bilaminar disk
epiblast, hypoblast
3 sections of ectoderm
surface, neuroectoderm, neural crest
Craniopharyngioma
benign rathke pouch tumor with cholesterol crystals, calcifications
Adenohypophysis origin
