2What happens in Bilaminar Germ Disk Period?

A

Embryoblast differentiates into Epiblast ( dorsal cells) and Hypoblast ( ventral cells)

25
Q

What happens in patterning Period?

3

A

1) Axial specification
2) Segmentation (what forms b/w each end)
3) Development of dentition

26
Q

What happens in Primitive Streak Period

4

A

1) Groove of epiblast cells is formed
2) Defines future bilateral symmetry
3) Prochordial Plate formed at rostral end
4) Cecal Plate at caudal end

27
Q

What happens in Post Gastrulation Period

A

1) Differentiation of nervous system
2) Formation and migration of NC Cells
3) Embryo Folding. Head lateral, and tail fold
4) Neural Tube closure

28
Q

Induction Definition

A

Wen one group of cells tells other group (competent group) to do something

29
Q

When in timeline does gastrulation take place?

A

Around week 3

30
Q

How is the mesoderm formed?

A

Proteins in cell attachment change from E to N and they lose their cell-cell adhesions.
They cave inward

4

A

Nervous system
Epidermis & appendages (hair, nails, etc)
Epithelium of mouth & nose
Tooth enamel

32
Q

What does the Endoderm give rise to?

2

A

Epithelial lining of Respiratory and GI Tract

33
Q

What does mesoderm give rise to?

2

A

1) Muscles

2) All structures derived from Connective Tissue

34
Q

What gives rise to dentin, cementum pulp and PDL?

A

NC Cells

35
Q

How does the neuroectoderm form?

A

From specialized cells from Ectoderm

36
Q

What happens if neural tube doesn’t close?

A

spina bifida

37
Q

Parts of mesoderm

A

1) Paraxial
2) Intermediate
3) Lateral PLate

38
Q

What does paraxial give rise to?

A

cartilage

Segmented Muscle

39

A

Kidney

Gonads

40

heart

Gut

41
Q

What does neural tube expand to form?

A

Forebrain
Midbrain
Hindbrain

42
Q

Hindbrainsegments into what?

A

Rhombomeres

43
Q

Where do NC Cells come from?

A

From neuroectoderm

44
Q

When do NCC Differentiate?

A

During week 3

45
Q

Physically and spatially where do NCC come from?

A

From dorsal edges of neural plate (thus NC)

46
Q

Cause of Treacher Collins Syndrome

A

Failure of NCC to migrate to facial region

47
Q

Where in timeline is the fetal period?

A
