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)
rest of ectoderm (surface ectoderm)
becomes epidermis
neuroectoderm gives rise to
neural plate
neuronal progenitors
neurons
glial progenitors
astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, etc (excludes microglia)
ependymal cells
line tubes and ventricles
