26
Q

Primitive Node

A

Swelling at one end of Primitive Streak

27
Q

Notochord

A

Epiblast cells that move through the primitive node migrate straight anteriorly. These mesodermal cells, along with a few cells from the underlying endoderm, form a rod. This rod defines the body’s axis (left/right). Extends the length of the body and is the site of the future vertebral column. Appears on day 16 and by day 18 reaches the future head region.

28
Q

Neurulation

A

As notochord develops it signals overlying ectoderm to begin forming the spinal cord and brain.

29
Q

Neural Plate

A

Ectoderm in the dorsal midline thickens.

30
Q

Neural Groove

A

Neural plate begins folding inward.

31
Q

Neural Tube

A

The neural groove deepens and hollow until tube is pinched off. Complete closure of tube occurs by the end of week four.

32
Q

Neural Crest

A

Cells that are pulled into the body along with the cells forming the neural tube. Originates from ectoderm cells on the lateral sides of neural plate. forms the sensory nerve cells.

33
Q

Induction

A

The ability of one group of cells to influence the developmental direction of other cells. Ex. Notochord’s influence on the formation of the neural tube.

34
Q

Paraxial Mesoderm

A

The mesoderm closest to the notochord.

35
Q

Somites

A

The paraxial mesoderm divides into a series of blocks starting cranially and moving caudally. Are visible from surface as sub ectodermal bulges on each side of the back. First body segment to form.

36
Q

Intermediate Mesoderm

A

Continuous strip of tissue just lateral to the paraxial mesoderm.

37
Q

Lateral Plate

A

The most lateral part of the mesoderm. Splits into two due to a wedge that forms between. The space between is the coelom and the to divisions are the somatic mesoderm and the splanchnic.

38
Q

Coelum

A

The space between the somatic and splanchnic mesoderm.

39
Q

Derivatives of Endoderm

A

inner epithelial lining and glands of digestive and respiratory tracts.

40
Q

Derivatives of Notochord

A

Gives rise to important part of spinal column: the spingy cores of the discs between vertebrae called nucleus pulposus-giving the vertebrae some bounce when we walk.

41
Q

Derivatives of Ectoderm

A

Brain, spinal cord, epidermis of the skin (in turn hair, finger/toe nails, sweat/oil glands). Neural crest cells form sensory nerve cells. Wandering neural crest cells form melanocytes (pigment producing cells) and bones of the face.

42
Q

Derivatives of Somite

A

Sclerotome, Dermatome, and Myotome.

43
Q

Sclerotome

A

Vertebrae and Ribs

44
Q

Dermatome

A

dermis of dorsal body region

45
Q

Myotome

A

Trunk and limb musculature.

46
Q

Intermediate Mesoderm

A

Kidneys, Gonads

47
Q

Lateral Plate Mesoderm

A

Somatic, Splanchnic mesoderm

48
Q

Somatic Mesoderm

A

Mesoderm next to the Ectoderm. Gives rise to parietal serosa, dermis of ventral body region, connective tissue of limbs(Bones, joints, ligaments)

49
Q

Splanchnic Mesoderm

A

Mesoderm next to endoderm. Gives rise to wall of digestive and respiratory tract (except epithelial lining), Visceral Serosa, heart, blood vessels

50
Q

Premature birth

A

A birth that occurs before the normal time. Normal births typically occur 38 weeks after conception. Infants born as early as week 30 (7months) usually survive without life saving measures.

51
Q

Teratology

A

The study of birth defects—fetuses with congenital deformities (teratos = monster; logos = study of)

52
Q

Teratogen

A

A chemical, physical, or biological factor that disrupts normal development.

53
Q

Accutane

A

a drug taken for the most severe type of acne called cystic acne; it causes craniofacial defects.

54
Q

Thalidomide

A

a sedative taken for morning sickness; the most common defect caused is shortened limbs

55
Q

Alcohol

A

causes fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS)

56
Q

Cigarettes

A

nicotine in cigarettes constricts uterine blood vessels, which causes a decrease in uterine blood flow. Also, carbon monoxide from the smoke contributes to decreased availability of oxygen to the baby as well as the mother

57
Q

Cocaine and heroine

A

drugs that increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is the most common cause of death in infants under one year old

58
Q

Viruses like Rubella (German Measles)

A

diseases that can cause congenital heart defects, blindness/cataracts, and deafness.

59
Q

Fetal Alcohol Sydrome

A

causes growth and mental retardation, microcephaly (underdeveloped brain), ocular (eye) anomalies, and joint abnormalities.

60
Q

Spinal Bifida

A

occurs when the neural tube does not close at the bottom which leaves a portion of the neural tube exposed externally. This condition can be caused by a maternal deficiency in folic acid.

61
Q

Ancephaly

A

occurs when the neural tube does not fully develop near the head, so the brain does not form. This condition can also be caused by a maternal deficiency in folic acid.

62
Q

Downs Syndrome (Trisomy 21)

A

the presence of an extra chromosome in the genome. Causes mental retardation and distinctive physical characteristics.

63
Q

PKU

A

metabolic disorder where the infant is unable to metabolize a crucial amino acid

64
Q

Heart Defects

A

there are a wide variety of disorders that occur because of abnormal development of the heart. This is the most common type of birth defect
