Q

How is the primitive streak formed

A

hypoblast cells induce the epiblast cells to proliferate and migrate towards the midline to form a groove

Q

How will the epiblast form the three germ cell layers during gastrulation

A

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

Q

How is the notochord formed

A

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

Q

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

Q

What remnant of the notochord is seen in adults

A

nucleus pulposis of IV disc

22
Q

What is a neurenteric canal

A

opening between the amnion and yolk sac at the primitive pit

23
Q

What is the clinical significance of the neurenteric canal

A

neurenteric cysts may form

24
Q

What are neurenteric cysts

A

masses of endodermally derived tissue commonly associated with the spinal cord

25
Q

How are the ends of the gut tube formed

A

two depressions arise in the ectoderm, one at cranial end and one at caudal end and form ends of gut tube

26
Q

What is the depression at the caudal end

A

cloacal membrane

27
Q

What is the depression at the cranial end

A

buccopharyngeal membrane

28
Q

What is a longitudinal fold

A

head to tail folding of the embryo

29
Q

What plane does the longitudinal fold occur in

A

midsagittal plane

30
Q

What cuases the longitudinal fold to occur

A

rapid growth of the brain, but slower rate of growth of trunk and limbs

31
Q

What are the major results of the longitudinal fold

A

reposition of the cardiogenic area, portion of yolk sac becomes incorporated into the embryo to form the gut tube

32
Q

When does longitudinal folding occur

A

end of 3rd week

33
Q

What is transverse embryonic folding

A

two lateral edges of ectoderm fuse with each other ventrally

34
Q

What causes transverse embryonic folding

A

rapid growth of the somites, CNS, and differential cell growth

35
Q

What will embryonic folding results in

A

tubular embryo (no longer a flat trilaminar embryo)

36
Q

When will the primitive streak regress

A

after week 4

37
Q

What is holoprosencephaly

A

abnormal face defects, enlarged brain, deficiency of midline head structures

38
Q

What is holoprosencephaly a result of

A

innapropriate death of midline cells

39
Q

What causes Ectopia cordis

A

lateral foldings not complete, did not enclose thoracic organs

40
Q

WHat is ectopia cordis

A

heart outside chest

41
Q

What are the primitive streak and primitive node essential in

A

determining body axes

42
Q

What is situs inversus

A

organs are on opposite side of the body

43
Q

What is complete situs inversus

A

all organs are mirror image of normal orientation

44
Q

What is incomplete situs inversus

A

only a single organ is involved

45
Q

What is sirenomelia

A

lower limbs fused together, caudal dysgenesis

46
Q

What causes sirenomelia

A

inadequate mesoderm in caudal regions

47
Q

What causes a sacrococcygeal teratoma

A

persistence of primitive streak and pluripotent cells

48
Q

What is a teratoma

A

all germ layers present (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm)

49
Q

The third week is known as the week of 3’s, what things form

A

3 layers
3 cavities
3 layers in the villi

50
Q

At the beginning of the third week, what is the embryo composed of

A
