Lecture 30: Development of the nerve system3 Flashcards
whats a 16 celled human embryo called?
morula
what day is fertilisation?
Day 0
what happens in Day 1 of the embryo ?
first cleavage
what happens in Days 2, 3 , 4 ?
2 - two cell stage and4 cell stage
3 - 8 cell uncompacted morula
4- 8 cell compacted morula
when is an early blastocyst formed?
Day 5
what happens in days 6 - 7?
late stage blastocyst
In day 5 what forms in the embryo?
inner cell mass
by days 6 - 7 what can be found in the embryo?
polar trophectoderm
epiblast
primitive endoderm
mural trophectoderm
what happens to a 7.5 day blastocyst?
Endometrium erodes
cells of embryonic disk separated from amnion by a fluid filled space
what happens to a 12 day blastocyst ?
This is when implantation is complete, extra embryonic mesoderm is forming a discrete layer beneath the cytotrophoblasts.
what happens to a 16- day embryo?
cytotrophoblast and mesoderm = chorion, chorionic villi elaborate.
embryo contains three germ layers, yolk sac, and allantois, which forms basis of umbilical cord
what forms the embryonic disc?
epiblast (ectoderm)
mesoderm
prospective endoderm
endoblasts
what does the endoderm layer become?
- digestive system
- liver
- pancreas
- lungs (inner layers)
what does the mesoderm layer become?
- circulatory system
- lungs (epithelial layers)
- sekeltal system
- muscular system
what does the ectoderm layer become?
hair
nails
skin
nervous system
what three things also occur during development?
cells differentiate
cells migrate and aggregate
cells form functional relationships
what does it mean when cells differentiate?
Some become muscle cells, some become neurones, and so on.
what happens when Cells Migrate & Aggregate
?
They make their way to appropriate sites and to form structures.
what happens when Cells form Functional Relationships?
They form integrated and interconnected systems that mediating complex tasks.
