Q

What forms at the rostral end of the notochord?

A

An area of mesoderm at the rostral end of the notochord becomes the PROCHORDAL mesoderm

Q

What forms at the sides of the axial mesoderm?

A

At the sides of the notochord, there is PARAXIAL mesoderm, which will become the somites.

Then intermediate mesoderm, which will be nephrogenic.

Then the LATERAL PLATE mesoderm, which will become SOMATIC and SPLANCHNIC mesoderm, forming the linings of the body cavities.

Q

What is the clinical significance of a persistent primitive streak?

A

If the primitive streak persists, it continues to give rise to all 3 germ layers -> sacrococcygeal teratoma!

Q

The neural tube first forms in the middle (zippers together from the middle toward the rostral and caudal ends). It remains open at both ends for a while.
What are these open ends called?

A

The rostral and caudal NEUROPORES

17
Q

What if the rostral neuropore fails to close?

A

Neural tube defects like anencephaly and exencephaly

18
Q

What if the caudal neuropore fails to close?

A

Neural tube defects like spina bifida

19
Q

Name 4 derivatives of ectoderm

A
  1. skin epidermis (mesoderm -> dermis), hair, nails, subcutaneous glands
  2. nervous system - CNS, PNS (from neural plate/tube and neural crest)
  3. sensory epithelia of ear, nose, eye
  4. branchial (pharyngeal) arches = gill arches -> muscles of head and neck
20
Q

How is the Intraembryonic Coelom initially created?

A

The LATERAL PLATE MESODERM (on each side/rim of embryonic disc) cavitates swiss-cheese style, then the holes fuse, forming the first cavity inside the embryo

21
Q

What does the dorsal (upper) half of the lateral plate/IEC wall form?

A

Forms the SOMATIC (parietal) MESODERM -> parietal linings of body cavities

22
Q

What does the ventral (lower) half of the lateral plate/IEC wall form?

A

Forms the SPLANCHNIC (visceral) MESODERM -> visceral linings of body cavities

23
Q

What happens with the prochordal mesoderm?

A
  1. Prochordal mesoderm spreads rostral to the OP membrane
  2. Cavitation of lateral plate mesoderm forming IEC splits the prochordal mesoderm into dorsal/somatic (upper) and ventral/splanchnic (lower) halves
  3. Splanchnic prochordal mesoderm under the IEC (which is passing in front of OP membrane) forms angiogenic cells
  4. Angiogenic cells coalesce into a solid tube
  5. The solid tube of angiogenic cells canalizes and forms a pair of hollow endocardial tubes
24
Q

What does the pair of hollow endochordial tubes become?

A

Forms the inner lining of the heart

25
Q

What else does rostral prochordal mesoderm form (besides the endocardial tubes)?

A

SEPTUM TRANSVERSUM (future diaphragm)
