Lecture 3 Flashcards
the embryo is a trilaminar germ disc at the beginning of wk ______.
4
Day 22 the embryo begins to:
fold.
By days 26/28, fold is complete and the embryo has _________ and is enclosed in:
intraembryonic coelom
amniotic sac
What beings dorsal to the notochord at day 22?
neurulation
which neuropore closes first?
cranial
Which neuropore closes second? what disappears after this?
caudal
the primitive streak disappears
What surrounds the neural tube and notochord by days 26/28?
sclerotome cells
When does the uteroplacental circulation begin to develop? describe how.
day 11-13
cytotrophoblasts bud into the syncytiotrophoblasts
What constitutes the formation of secondary stem villus? when does this happen?
day 16
extraembryonic mesoderm begins to proliferate and invade the center of primary stem villus
What constitutes the formation of tertiary stem villus? when does this happen? What’s the result?
day 21
the mesodermal core of secondary stem villus diff. into connective tissue and blood vessels
gases, nutrients, and wastes diffuse btwn maternal and fetal blood
What four tissues must the things that pass btwn maternal and fetal blood?
- endothelium of villus capaillaries
- extraembryonic mesoderm
- cytotrophoblasts
- syncytiotrophoblasts
What morphogen concentrations would we see in the ectoderm that will become the fore/midbrain on days 17-19?
increased FGF and decreased BMP
What morphogen concentrations would we see in the ectoderm that will become the hindbrain and spinal cord on days 17-19?
increased FGF and WNT
Neurulation takes place btwn what days?
17 and 30
What are the four steps of neurulation?
- neural plate forms neural groove
- hinge points are formed and facilitate the movement of cells
- neural crest cells guide endoderm cells at top of neural fold
- neural crest cells are ejected and remain outside of closed neural tube
In neurulation, what produces BMP? Noggin? SHH?
BMP: surface ectoderm
Noggin: dorsal neural folds
SHH: notochord and floor plate
In neurulation, why is Noggin necessary?
Noggin inhibits BMP (which inhibits DLHP)
DLHPs facilitate folding of neural tube so this allows process to continue correctly
In neurulation, why is SHH necessary?
prevents premature and unusual hinges from forming in neural plate
BMP forces surface ectoderm to differentiate into ->
skin cells
Neural plate is induced in what direction?
cranial-to-caudal
