Layers And Their Derivatives Flashcards
Mesoderm
All skeletal and connective tissue, blood and muscle
Prechordal, paraxial, axial, intermediate and lateral plate
Ectoderm
Skin and CNS
Endoderm
Gut tube, pharynx and respiratory tube
Neural crest cells
Melanocytes, Schwann cells, dorsal root ganglia, enteric nervous system, noradrenaline neurones, cholinergic neurones
Non-neuronal ectoderm
Skin, nails, tooth enamel + associated structures
Axial mesoderm (notochord)
Basis of midline axial skeleton
Source of neural-inducing and patterning signals
Paraxial mesoderm
Somitomeres (head)
Somites (trunk, 37 pairs)
Somitomeres
Head mesenchyme
Somites
Sclerotome
Dermamyotome
Sclerotome
Vertebral body - surrounding notochord
Vertebral arch - surrounding neural tube
Dermamyotome
Dermatome
Myotome
Dermatome
Contributes to dermis - fat and connective tissue of the neck and back
Myotome
Muscles - dorsal epimerise and ventral hypomere
Intermediate mesoderm
Urogenital structures
Lateral plate mesoderm
Divides to line the intra-embryonic coelum (primitive body cavity) forming:
Somatic (parietal) mesoderm
Splanchnic (visceral) mesoderm
