Neuro I Flashcards
duplication at 2 cell blastocyst stage
2 separate sets of fetal membranes
duplication of inner cell mass
free twins of two separate embryonic discs; asymmetrical if unequal separation;
shared fetal yolk sac and chorion
gastrula: complete duplication of primitive streak
conjoined (tissues/organs)
symmetrical (2 complete, separate axes)
2 heads and vertebral columns
gastrula: incomplete duplication of primitive streak
conjoined, symmetrical; duplicated region 2 axes
unduplicated region; 1 axis;
at gastrula, all fetal membranes shared
duplication of gastrula without duplication of primitive streak
conjoined, asymmetrical
1 axes
other body tissues/ parts duplicated
especially limbs
what is the notochord
mesodermal rod;
notochord begins at
primitive node - deep to it and ectoderm
notochord oriented
craniocaudal along midline of longitudinal axis of embryo
notochord expands
cranial and caudal
as the notochord expands caudally, primitive streak ____
disappears
paraxial mesoderm
next to axis; mesodermal columns or bands, located on either side of notochord
what forms the paraxial mesoderm
somites from left and right pairs
somites form _____
sequentially from cranial to caudal
which forms first
cranial most pair
somites give rise to
segmental skeletal/connective tissue structures and muscle units (pattern imposed on developing peripheral nervous system)
first several fuse and contribute to
head structures
canine somites caudal to head include
8 cervical 13 thoracic 7 lumbar 3 sacral 10-20 caudal
notochord and paraxial mesoderm together begin
NS development
overlying ectoderm induce
neurectoderm (ectoderm above the notochord)
