Some Embryology Flashcards
What does the epidermis of the skin derive from?
Ectoderm
What does the dermis of the skin derive from?
Lateral plate of mesoderm
What does the urogenital system derive from (kidneys, gonads, respective duct systems)?
Intermediate plate of the mesoderm
What do somites derive from?
Paraxial plate mesoderm
What do somites give rise to?
Supporting tissue of the body:
Myotome, Sclerotome, Dermatome
What do myotomes become?
Muscle tissue
What do sclerotomes become?
Cartilage and bone
What do dermatomes become?
Dermis of skin
What are the two layers of the Lateral plate mesoderm?
Somatic (parietal)
Splanchnic (visceral)
What does the somatic/parietal layer of the lateral plate mesoderm form?
Future body wall
What does the splanchnic/visceral layer of the lateral plate mesoderm form?
Circulatory System; Connective tissue of glands; muscle, connective tissue and peritoneal components of the Wall of the gut
What gives rise to the epithelial lining of the GI tract?
Endoderm
The endoderm forms the epithelial lining of which parts of the ear?
Tympanic membrane and Auditory Tube
What gives rise to epithelial lining of the bladder and what type of epithelium of this?
Endoderm
Urothelium/Transtitional
What gives rise to epithelial lining of respiratory tract and what type of epithelium of this?
Endoderm
Ciliated pseudo-stratified columnar epithelium (respiratory epithelium)
What gives rise to the the pancreas?
2 endodermal buds (dorsal and ventral from respective aspects of the gut)
What gives rise to the liver?
Endodermal bud (of Endoderm)
What, around the thyroid gland, does the endoderm give rise to?
Parenchyma of thyroid gland and Parathyroid glands
Parenchyma = functional tissue of organ
In general, what structures does the Ectoderm give rise to?
