Foundations 1 Flashcards
Structure of blastocyst
Inner cell mass
Trophoblast
What day does implantation take place
~Day 6
What does trophoblast become
Placenta
What does ICM become
Fetus
What does trophoblast further specialize into
Inner cytotrophoblast
Outer syncytiotrophoblast
What secretes hCG
Syncytiotrophoblast
What does trophoblast form after implantation
Chorion - grows vili that grow into endometrium and become fetal component of placenta
What is the decidua basalis
Maternal component of placenta
What happens to the inner cell mass in week 2
Becomes a two layer structure of epiblast and hypoblast
What happens to epiblast in week 3?
Becomes a trilaminar disc w/ecto meso and endoderm
What is weeks 3-8 called
Embryonic period
What does neural crest arise from
Ectoderm, from neural tube
What forms the notochord
At end of 3rd week w/3 layers, Some mesoderm forms a dense core called notochord
What does notochord do
Induces some ectoderm above it to form neural plate
What neural crest derivatives are found in peripheral nervous system
Autonomic NS (CN X, sympathetic ganglia), dorsal root ganglia, sensory nerves, schwann cells, CNs
What neural crest derivatives are found in ear
Ossicles of middle ear
What neural crest derivatives are found in eye
Anterior chamber (cornea, sclera, ciliary muscle, iris)
What neural crest derivatives are found in adrenal gland
Chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla
What neural crest derivatives are found in mouth
Odontoblasts (development of teeth dentin)
What neural crest derivatives are found in heart
Aorticopulmonary septum
What neural crest derivatives are found in digestive system
Enteric nervous system, celiac ganglion, enterochromaffin cells
