Q

AS blastocyst gets to endometrium, the trophoblast attaches to endometrium and start to differentiate. The trophoblast gives rise to two structures:

A
  1. cytotrophoblast: surround the embryo
  2. syncytiotrophoblast: multinucleated mass of cells; produces the main protein we use in pregnancy tests and is responsible for producing human chorionic GnRH. (HcG)

Q

what gives rise to embryo

A
  1. amnion

26
Q

What is the primitive streak

This is the first sign of gastrulation starting (how you get mesoderm); A double line that starts dev at caudal end of embryo at epiblast and starts lengthening. You cut embryo from top down and look at it from the side.

27
Q

what is gastrulation

A

Organizing and differetiating the 3 germ layers. Get intraembryonic mesoderm in dev embryo.

A

primitive node; mesoderm

29
Q

A

embryonic

30
Q

From the top part of primitive node, cells that migrate into underlying layers, they migrate down and grow forward to prechordal plate. They keep to themselves and form a tube filling in the space between. This is called the _____

A

notochord.

31
Q

migration of mesenchymal cells from the primitive streak form _____ that organizes to form the ______ mesoderm. Most of the embryonic endoderm arises from the ______

Q

What does the ectoderm give rise to

A
  1. epidermis
  2. CNS
  3. PNS
  4. eyes
  5. internal ears
  6. neural crest cells

Q

What does the endoderm give rise to

A
  1. epithelial lining of respiratory and digstive tract
  2. glands opening into the GI tract
  3. glandular cells of associated organs such as the liver and pancreas
34
Q

What does the mesoderm give rise to

A
  1. skeletal muscle
  2. blood cells and lining of bv’s
  3. lining of body cavities
  4. ducts and organs of the reproductive and excretory systems.
  5. most of the cardiovascular system
35
Q

Gastrulation begins at ____end with formation of _____ ____ in epiblast, but the cranial end begins to differentiate first causing the embryo to develop ______

A

caudal (anterior); primitive streak; cephalocaudally

36
Q

notochordal process lengthens by migration of cells from the ____ ____. As the notchordal process elongates, the ___ ___ shortens. At the end of the 3rd week the notochordal process is transformed into the notochord

primitive node; primitiive streak

37
Q

prechordal plate and cloacal membrane are the only two areas that stay ______. No mesoderm here. They end up disentragating forming the mouth and anus. Prechordal plate Forms the ____ membrane

A

bilaminar; oropharyngeal

38
Q

The notochordal processes and adjacement mesoderm indude the _____to form the neural ____

39
Q

Thickened area on top of notochord =

A
