Lecture 1/26 Flashcards
3-4 in uterus, the morula turns into the
blastocyst
blastocyst cavity called
blastocoele
blastocyst outer layer called
trophoblast (eventually becomes placenta)
blastocyst inner layer called
inner cell mass, about 100 cells (embryo develops from this)
blastocyst gets lodged onto ____ in first 3-4 days
endometrium
what occurs in 2nd week
implantation, formation of 2 germ layers
2nd week: inner cell mass develops to have a
cavity (called amniotic cavity)
2nd week: lining of the cavity closer to trophoblast and then forms the
yolk sac
amniotic cavity will become what germinal layer
ectoderm
yolk sac will become what germinal layer
endoderm
amniotic sac and yolk sac meet, and the layer is called
embryonic disk
what occurs in the 3rd week
development of 3rd germinal layer (mesoderm)
3rd week: mesoderm arrives from
embryonic disk
tail and head of embryonic disk are called
tail: caudal end
head: cranial end
midline of the embryonic disk called
primative streak
where do mesodermal cells arise from
the primitive streak cells spreading out
segmented mesoderm called
somites
thickened ectoderm is called the
neural plate
neural groove formed when
the neural plate’s edges start to curve up
neural groove ->
neural fold
neural folds keep growing and form a
neural tube
neural tube cross section has 3 layers
- ependymal layer
neural tube ependymal layer is:
the inner most layer of non-specialized stem cells (cuboidal cells
which layer has the highest rate of mitosis in the neural tube
ependymal layer
neural tube mantle layer is:
nucleated cell layer which were formed in ependymal layer and migrated out
which layer of the neural tube will eventually form the grey matter of the nervous system
mantle layer
neural tube marginal layer is:
the outermost layer formed by extensions of fibrous processes from the mantle layer
which layer of the neural tube will eventually become the white matter of the nervous system
marginal layer (when fibrous processes are myelinated)
primary enlargements occurs after
closure of the head end (anterior end) of the neural tube
