Head and Neck: Neuroembryology Flashcards
Trilaminar Embryonic Disc forms because of which process?
Gastrulation - invasion of the epiblast cells
Formation of 3 layers; ecto, endo and mesoderm
Notochord induce what change in embryo?
Notochord + paraxial mesoderm induce ectoderm–> neural plate
Epidermis and derivatives
Ectoderm
Epithelial linings of mouth/rectum
Ectoderm
Cornea and lens
Ectoderm
Nervous system
Ectoderm
Renal medulla
Ectoderm
Tooth enamel
Ectoderm
Epithelial linings of pituitary and pineal
Ectoderm
Epithelial linings of gut, allantois, respiratory tract, urinary bladder/urethra, tympanic cavity and auditory tube
Endoderm
Parenchym of thyroid, parathyroids, liver and pancreas
Endoderm
Reticular stroma of tonsils and thymus
Endoderm
Connective tissue, bone, cartilage
Mesoderm
Smooth and striated muscle
Mesoderm
Blood and lymph cells/vessels
Mesoderm
Kidneys and Gonads
Mesoderm
Cortex of adrenal gland
Mesoderm
Spleen
Mesoderm
Neurulation
Neural plate bunches up and begins to fold first into neural groove and then neural tube + production of neural crest cells
How does the neural plate form the neural tube
Due to cadherins and their association to the cytoskeleton of the cell
Cadherins
Homophilic binding partners; use Ca2+;
