Lecture 2 Embryology of the GI Flashcards
How long is the time between fertilisation and implantation
1 week
When does the bilaminar germ layer arise
Week 2
What gene is responsible for establishing left sidedness
PTX2
What week does the trilaminar disc arise
Week 3
Define Gastrulation
This is when the bilaminar disc is converted into a trilaminar disc. Going from amnion sac and yolk sac to ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm
What is the primitive streak
Dip in epiblast where cells have started to divide
What structures are the ectoderm layer responsible for
Skin, nervous system, ear, nose, adrenal medulla
What structures are the mesoderm layer responsible for
Skeleton, muscle, kidney, heart, blood, conceive tissue
What structures are the endoderm responsible for
Gut, liver, lungs, pancreas, urinary bladder
Describe Notochord formation
Some cells continue to proliferate and lose contact with ectoderm from primitive streak. The cells sunk down and form a solid tube
What is Neurulation
Notochord sends out a signal which acts on ectoderm and induces cells to form neural tube. neural plate sinks down and edges come together to form a tube once it loses contact with ectoderm
When does Organogenesis occur
Week 3 to 8
What are he 3 phases of embryo development
- Growth/proliferation
- Morphogenesis
- Differentiation
What is growth/proliferation during embryo development
Cell division and elaboration of products
What is morphogenesis during embryo development
Development of shape, size of a particular organ or body part
What is differentiation during during embryo development
Maturation of physiological processes
Exposure to teratogens during what weeks may causes congenital anomalies
Week4-8
The lateral plate of the mesoderm gives rise to what
Parietal and visceral mesoderm
When does the gut tube form from the endoderm lining of the yolk sac
3rd and 4th week
The gut tube is closed by what at its cranial end
Oropharyngeal membrane
The gut tube is closed by what at its caudal end
Cloacal membrane
What gene is secreted from the endoderm and what does it induce in the gut
SHH and HOX
What does the foregut consist of
Pharynx,Oesophagus Stomach and upper duodenum
Where does the foregut develop from
The cranial part of the primitive gut
Where does the Laryngo-tracheal diverticulum (lung bud) develop from
The ventral wall of the foregut
What divides the foregut tube into the trachea and oesophagus
Tracheo-oesophagel septum
What week does the foregut dilate an form the stomach
4th
What creates the greater curve and lesser curve
Differential growth
What side is the greater curvature
Posterior
What side is the lesser curvature
Anterior
