Reproductive Flashcards
produces at base of limbs, involved in patterning along anterior-posterior axis
sonic hedgehog gene
involved in CNS development, mutation can cause holoprosencephaly
sonic hedgehog gene
produced at apical ectodermal ridge, organization along dorsal-ventral axis
Wnt-7gene
produced at apical ectodermal ridge; stimulates mitosis of underlying mesoderm–>lengthening of limbs
FGF gene
involved in segmental organization in craniocaudal direction
Hox gene
mutations produce appendages in wrong location
Hox gene (code for DNA-binding transcription factors)
when does hCG secretion begin
day 7
starts with apiblast invaginating to form primitive streak
gastrulation
benign Rathke’s pouch tumor with cholesterol crystals, calcifications
craniopharyngioma
hypopituitarism, growth retardation in children, suprasellar mass (solid, cystic, and calcified)
craniopharyngioma
what is adenohypophysis derived from?
surface ectoderm (Rathke’s pouch)
what is derived from neural crest?
PNS, melonocytes, chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla, parafollicular cells of thyroid, bones of skull, aorticopulmonary septum
what is spleen derived from?
mesoderm
what induces ectoderm to form neuroectoderm?
notocord; neuroectoderm–>nucleus pulposus of intervertebral disk
mesodermal defects
vertebral, anal atresia, cardiac, tracheo-esophageal fistula, renal, limb
absent organ due to absent primordial tissue
agenesis
absent organ despite present primordial tissue
aplasia
extrinsic disruption after embryonic period
deformation
incomplete organ
hypoplasia
intrinsic desruption, weeks 3-8
malformation
renal damage
ACE inhibitors
absence of digits, multiple anomalies
alkylating agents
CN VIII toxicity
aminoglycosides
neural tube defects, craniofacial defects, fingernail hypoplasia, developmental delay, IUGR
carbamazepine
vaginal clear cell carcinoma, congenital Mullerian anomalies
DES
neural tube defects
folate antagonists
Ebstein’s anomaly (atrialized RV)
lithium
fetal hydantoin syndrome: microcephaly, dysmorphic craniofacial features, hypoplastic nails and distal phalanges, cardiac defects, IUGR, mental retardation
phenytoin
discolored teeth
tetracyclines
limb defects
thalidomide
neural tube defects due to inhibition of maternal folate absorption
valproate
bone deformities, fetal hemorrhage, abortion, ophthalmologic abnormalities
warfarin
leading cause of mental retardation

microcephaly, mental retardation
X rays
most common monozygotic twins
monochorionic, diamniotic (cleavage after morula before blastocyst)
inner layer of chorionic villi
cytotrophoblast
outer layer of chorionic villi; secretes hCG; stimulatescorpus luteum to secrete progesterone
syncytiotrophoblast
