The Third Week (Exam 1) Flashcards
What is the appearance of the embryonic disc at the end of the second week
becomes elongated and is broader at the cephalic end
What is gastrulation
formation of the three embryonic layers, forms trilaminar embryonic disc
What does gastrulation establish
the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm germ layers
When will the primitive streak be formed
day 15
How is the primitive streak formed
hypoblast cells induce the epiblast cells to proliferate and migrate towards the midline to form a groove
Where does the primitive groove appear
along the dorsal midline of the epiblast
What occurs to the primitive groove
it deepens
After the primitive groove deepens, it forms what
the primitive streak
What does the primitive streak have
Primitive pit at the cranial end
When does gastrulation occur
Day 16
start using GAS pedal at age 16
How will the epiblast form the three germ cell layers during gastrulation
ingressing epiblast cells first displace the hypoblast cells to form the endoderm
some cells of epiblast occupy the space between teh endoderm and the epiblast to form the intraembryonic mesoderm
epiblast cells that do not migrate through are now the ectoderm
What will line the yolk sac after gastrulation
endoderm
When is the embryo referred to as trilaminar germ disc
After completion of gastrulation
What is the trilaminar germ disc composed of
ectoderm
intraembryonic mesoderm
endoderm
How is the notochord formed
notochordal process extends from the primitive pit to the prechordal plate
floor of the notochordal process fuses with underlying endoderm and forms a flattened notochordal plate
plate detaches and forms the solid definitive notochord
What is the prechordal plate
an area where epiblast and hypoblast are still contact rostrally–toward the head
The notochord is composed of what types of cells
endoderm and mesoderm
What will form from the prechordal plate
head stuff
What will form from the cloacal plate
gut stuff
What are the functions of the notochord
directs CNS development
development of the vertebral column (through induction of ectoderm)
determins anatomic midline
forms the nucleus pulposis of IV disc
