Final Exam 2 Flashcards
What is the embryonic origin of the mesoduodenum?
Dorsal mesentery
The intraembryonic coelom forms where?
between somatic and splanchnic mesoderm
Which feature do the parietal pleura, parietal pericardium and parietal peritoneum share in common?
derive from somatic mesoderm
Which structure does not contribute to diaphragm development?
pleuropericardial folds
Delayed/failed closure by which structure typically accounts for diaphragmatic hernia formation?
pleuroperitoneal membranes
An organ that develops in the peritoneal cavity and is then displaced outside of the parietal peritoneum is referred to as?
secondary retroperitoneal
Which two chick embryo “extraembryonic” membranes derive from somatopleure?
amnion and chorion
Which term best describes the human placenta?
hemochorial
The maternal portion of the placenta develops in which area?
decidua basalis
Which extraembryonic membrane actually covers the umbilical cord?
amnion
The somatopleure is a membrane comprised of which two tissues?
ectoderm and somatic mesoderm
The placental barrier “thins” during gestation to improve exchange. How does this occur?
loss of mesenchyme and cytotrophoblast within the placental villi
What is the primary source of amniotic fluid after 12 weeks of gestation?
fetal urine production
Where does the allantois originate?
embryonic endoderm
Why is the allantois important?
umbilical cord blood vessel formation
Which layer disappears during gestation?
decidua capsularis
Based on amnion/chorian arrangement, which situation would most likely produce conjoined twins?
monochorionic, monoamniotic twins
Splitting of the embryo at the inner cell mass stage would result in which membrane arrangement?
monochorionic, diamniotic twins
Differentiation of mesoderm-derived angioblasts into endothelial cells is an example of which process?
vasculogenesis
Where is the first site of intraembryonic blood cell formation?
AGM (aorta-genial-mesonephric region)
The “fetal” hemoglobin contains which two pairs of globin molecules?
2 alpha, 2 gamma
Which cell is the immediate precursor to erythrocytes?
reticulocyte
The Rh-incompatibility syndrome (hemolytic disease of the newborn) occurs when?
Rh- mother has a Rh+ fetus
What is the source of the mesothelium that makes up the parietal pericardium?
lateral somatic mesoderm
