Repro Embryogenisis Of Pituitary Gland Flashcards
Importance of reproductive system embryogenesis
Limitation of reproductive performance - sterility
Process whereby a primitive group of un specialized cells develop into a functional, recognizable group of cells that have a common function
Differentiation
Cells form
Organs
3 types of embryonic germ layers
Endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm
Digestive system, respiratory system, most glands
Endoderm
Muscle, blood vessels, urinary system, skeletal system, reproductive system
Mesoderm
Skin, hair, nails, sweat glands, oral cavity, nasal cavity
ectoderm
Ectoderm nervous system
Hypothalamus, anterior and posterior pituitary
Ectoderm reproductive tract
Portions of vagina and vestibule, penis, clitoris
Neurohypophysis - neural tissue
Neural tissue of brain
Posterior lobe of pituitary gland
Adenohypophysis - glandular tissue - hormone secreting
Tissue in roof of embryonic mouth
Anterior love is pituitary gland
A sad or pouch diverting from a main tube, channel or cavity
Diverticulum
Posterior diverticulum
Infundibulum
Anterior diverticulum
Rathke’s pouch
Protective cavity around pituitary
Sella turcica
Develop in yolk sac inner lining
Ameboid movement
Still can’t determine sex
Primordial germ cells
Primordial germ cells functions
Colonize genital ridge
Stimulate connective tissue proliferation
Form compact strands of tissue
Cause femoral ridges to enlarge
Develop at same time and in close proximity to urogenital system
Reproductive and renal systems
3 types of renal system in embryo
Pronephros, mesonephros, metanephros
Non- function, remnant of lower animals
Pronephros
Functional, bilateral, produces urine, drain into ducts or urogenital sinus
Mesonephros
Final renal form - adult
Both male and female ducts present - still can’t determine sex
Metanephros
