Q

What two things happen in order for embryonic disc to transition from bilaminar to trilaminar?

A

Days 14-15: epiblast cells dive through primitive streak, invading hypoblast and form the secondary endoderm
Day 16: more epiblast cells dive through primitive streak and form a new 3rd layer (mesoderm)

Q
  1. What are neuroblasts?

2. What are glioblasts?

A
  1. Stem cells that form neurons

2. Form glial cells (ependymal and radial glia cells)

17
Q
  1. Which plate yields sensory regions of spinal cord?
  2. Motor regions?
  3. Where do autonomics develop?
A
  1. Alar plate
  2. Basal plate
  3. Sulcus limitans (kind of centrally located)
18
Q

What is anencephaly and why does it occur?

A

Failure of entire brain to develop; nerve pores don’t close so brain development does not continue (very small skull)

19
Q

Explain the following of types of herniations that occur due to problems with closure of the skull:

  1. Meningocele
  2. Meningoencephalocele
  3. Meningohydroencephalocele
A
  1. Herniation of meninges
  2. Herniation of meninges and brain tissue
  3. Herniation of meninges, brain tissue and ventricle
20
Q

Difference between spina bifida cystica and spina bifida occulta

A

Cystica= herniation of just meninges or meninges and spinal cord into a cyst covered by skin

Occulta= no herniation or formation of cyst; failure of closure of spinal canal but back appears normal

21
Q

What are somites?

What are somites derived from?

What do they subdivide into?

A

Mature somitomeres

Paraxial mesoderm

Sclerotomes (produce bones) and dermamyotome (dermis and muscles)

22
Q

7 most cranial somitomeres produce what?

How many caudal somites form axial skeleton?

A

Muscles of face, jaw, and pharynx (CN 5,7,9,10)

34

23
Q

Location of somites?

What do somites form?

A

On each side of neural tube; just lateral to somites is intermediate mesoderm, and lateral to that is lateral mesoderm

Axial skeleton, ribs, some cranial bones, skeletal muscle and part of dermis

24
Q

IVD if formed from what?

A

IVD comes from pieces of sclerotome and notochord: sclerotome= annulus fibrosus; notochord= nucleus pulposus

25
Q

Axons are developed from?

A

Developing motorneurons in spinal cord extending processes through developing vertebrae to myotomes

26
Q

Location of neural crest?

Neural crest forms what structures?

Neural tube forms what structures?

A

Between ectoderm and neural tube

All components of PNS, cranial nerve ganglia, adrenal medulla, arachnoid and pia mater, and enteric nervous system

Spinal cord and brain

27
Q

Where do placodes derive from?

Significance of placodes?

A

Ectoderm (placodes are structures outside of neural tube)

Neural crest cells migrate to join the placodes and form sensory neurons and parasympathetic neurons (post-ganglionic)

28
Q

Neural tube has two ends and what in the middle

A

Cranial and caudal with neural crest cell differentiation in the middle

29
Q

When looking at the caudal end of the neural tube, it has 3 layers. Name them from superficial to deep

A

Marginal zone, mantle zone, and neuroepithelial zone

30
Q

What else is formed from caudal end

A

Alar (dorsal) and basal (ventral) plates
