Lungs and thorax Flashcards
What is the name of the primitive body cavity that is incorporated by embryo?
Intra embryonic coelom
What drives rostral and caudal folding?
Neural tube expansion
What causes lateral folding?
As amnion surrounds embryo brings sides closer together
What does rostral folding do to positioning of rostral structures?
Moves them ventrally (to front)
What structures move ventrally/inferiorly in folding?
Septum transversum (diaphragm)
Buccopharyngeal membrane (mouth)
Cardiogenic region (heart)
Primitive pericardial cavity
What causes heart to lie caudally of brain?
Rostral folding
What drives caudal folding?
Growth of developing spinal cord
Describe the composition of the buccopharnygeal and cloacal membranes?
Just endoderm and ectoderm due to apoptosis of mesoderm
What does caudal folding do?
Cloacal membrane and allantois (forms bladder) moves ventrally
Leads to formation of hindgut tube
Displaces connecting stalk so it merges with neck of yolk sac and both form umbilical cord
What forms umbilical cord?
Caudal folding and expansion of amniotic cavity displaces connecting stalk so it merges with neck of yolk sac
What does lateral folding do to germ layers?
Fusion of 3 germ layers at ventral midline
What does lateral folding do?
Ventral movement of lateral plate mesoderm (parietal and visceral) these fuse forming lining and encloses intraembryonic coelom/cavity (body cavity)
What does somatic mesoderm do?
Coat inside of body wall
What does splanchnic/visceral mesoderm do?
Coats endodermal gut tube and associated structures
Describe what happens to amnion in embryonic folding?
Collapses around embryo and encloses it due to lateral folding (ends of amnion meet)
How does vitelline duct form?
As gut tube forms, neck of yolk sac narrows forming vitelline duct
What does gut tube become suspended in as it attaches dorsal wall?
Coelomic cavity
