general Flashcards
at base of limbs, ant-post patterning, CNS development?
sonic hedgehog
** mutation –> holoprosencephaly
at apical ectodermal ridge, dorsal-ventral patterning?
wnt-7
at apical ectodermal ridge, mesoderm mitosis, limb lengthening?
FGF
segmental patterning, cranio-caudal, transcription factors?
Hox
** mutation –> appendages in wrong locations
when does hCG secretion and blastocyst implantation happen?
day 6 (or w/in week 1)
when is the embryo a bilaminar disk?
within week 2
when is the embryo a trilaminar disk?
within week 3
** gastrulation makes bilaminar –> trilaminar
formation of primitive streak, notochord, mesoderm, neural plate
when does neural tube close?
week 4
when is the embryo most susceptible to teratogens?
weeks 3-8: when organogenesis is happening
when does the heart begin to beat?
week 4
when do the limb buds begin to form?
week 4
when can you see the heart on TVUS?
week 6
when do the genitalia have M/F characteristics?
week 10
what are derivatives of the surface ectoderm?
epidermis adenohypophysis (from Rathke's pouch) lens epithelial linings (oral, ear, olfactory) episdermis anal canal below pectinate line parotid/sweat/mammary glands
what are derivatives of the neuroectoderm?
CNS: CNS neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependyma, pineal gland
retina
optic nerve
spinal cord
what are derivates of the neural crest?
PNS: dorsal root ganglion, cranial nn, celiac ganglion, Schwann cells, ANS melanocytes chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla parafollicular cells pia and arachnoid skull bones odontoblasts aorticopulmonary septum
what are derivatives of the mesoderm?
mm bone connective tissue serous linings of body cavities spleen kidneys blood wall of gut tube etc
what does the notochord do?
mesodermal
induces ectoderm –> neuroectoderm (neural plate)
becomes nucleus pulposus
what are derivatives of the endoderm?
gut tube epithelium
anal canal above pectinate line
most of urethra
luminal epithelial derivatives - lungs, liver, GB, pancreas, eustachian tube, etc
what is a craniopharyngioma?
benign Rathke’s pouch tumor (surface ectoderm)
cholesterol crystals
calcifications
VACTERL?
mesodermal defects vertebra anal atresia cardiac tracheo-esophageal renal limb (bone and mm)
what is the difference bw agenesis and aplasia?
agenesis: primordial tissue absent
aplasia: primordial tissue present, but organ absent
what is the difference bw deformation and malformation?
deformation: extrinsic disruption
malformation: intrinsic disruption - happens during embryonic period
what is disruption?
secondary breakdown of normal tissue/structure
teratogenic effects - ACEis?
renal damage
teratogenic effects - alkylating agents?
absence of digits
multiple anomalies
teratogenic effects - aminoglycosides?
CN VIII toxicity
teratogenic effects - carbamazepine?
facial dysmorphism
developmental delay
NT defects
phalanx/fingernail hypoplasia
teratogenic effects - DES?
vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma
congenital Mullerian anomalies
teratogenic effects - folate antagonists?
NT defects
teratogenic effects - isotretinoin?
ALL OF THE THINGS. don’t get pregnant.
teratogenic effects - lithium?
Ebstein anomaly –> tricuspid into RV
teratogenic effects - methimazole?
aplasia cutis congenita
