Lect 3 Flashcards
What events occur in week three?
Week three is the embryonic period. - 1- gastrulation: forms trilaminar disc 2- neuralation : forms neural tube 3- body folding : embryonic disc folds into more complex shape
What occurs during the embryonic period?
Formation of germ layers and organogenesis
When does gastrulation, neuralation, and body folding end?
Begin week three! End in week 4!
Which cell types are used in gastrulation?
Epiblast
What does gastrulation form?
Three germ layers ( trilaminar disc) using epiblasts only!!
1- ectoderm : outer surface
2- mesoderm: migrating middle
3- endoderm: inner cell layer / displace hypoblast
Where is the site of epiblast invagination ( gastrulation) ?
Primitive node
What are the functions of the primitive node and primitive streak?
Epiblast invagination ; organise layers; determine body axes
Which element is the primary migration organiser? ( during gastrulation)
Primitive node
What is the function and future feature of the oropharyngeal membrane?
On cephalic end/ future mouth
What are the cell migration routes in the trilaminar disc?
Caudal to cephalic ( but get better in cephalic to caudal)
During gastrulation what happens to the epiblast?
Epithelial- mesenchymal transformation
Formation of undifferentiated migratory cells : mesenchymal cells
Epithelial : tightly adhered
Mesenchymal : loose, non adherent
Explain regression of the primitive streak?
Cephalic to caudal development. Migration is caudal to cephalic so the streak remains the same as the remainder of the organism grows. Tissue proliferation extends to the cephalic end. Matures in cephalic to caudal direction
What event contributes to CNS development?
Neuralation ( wk 3-4 )
Where is the notochord located?
The notochord ( used in neuralation) is found at the invagination of the primitive node pit ( going toward to oropharyngeal membrane) migrates along midline and stops at pre chordal plate
What cells surround the amniotic cavity in wk 3
Ectoderm
Endoderm surrounds the sYS
