Q

How is the Notochordal Process formed?

A

Regression of the Primitive Streak

Forms hollow tube

26
Q

Primitive Streak is formed by what 3 components in order from Cranial to Caudal

A

Primitive Pit
Primitive Node
Primitive Groove

27
Q

How is the Notochord form?

A

Notochordal Process forms with endoderm to form Notochordal plate

Notochordal Plate retracts from endoderm forming solid Notochord

28
Q

What does the notochord initiate?

How does it do this?

What day does this occur

A

Neurulation + Vertebrae Formation

Causes ectoderm to thicken to form Neural Plate from neuroectoderm /// Organises Somites into Vertebrae blocks

Day 19

29
Q

What does the notochord differentiate the Somites into? (3)

A

Sclerotome

Myotome

Dermatome

30
Q

What is the role of the sclerotome?

How does it do this?

A

Forms bone // cartilage

Sclerotome surround Notochord to form Vertebral Body which surrounds neural tube to form Vertebral Arch

31
Q

Myotome forms what?

Dermatome forms what?

A

Skeletal Muscle

Dermis layer

32
Q

What happens to the notochord?

A

Degenerates

Forms nucleus pulposus

33
Q

What day does the folding of the neural edges occur from the neural plate

A

Day 20

34
Q

Fusion of the neural folds occurs on what day?

What area does it begin folding from?

What region does it continue to

A

Day 22

Begins at Cervical (neck) region

Continues Cranially and Caudally

35
Q

How does the Neural Tube form?

A

As neural folds fuse, the tube separates from the ectoderm

36
Q

The Anterior Neuropore forms on what day?

A

Day 25

37
Q

The Posterior Neuropore forms on what day?

A

Day 28

38
Q

The Cranial end of the Neural Tube forms what?

A

Brain

39
Q

The Caudal end of the Neural Tube forms what?

A

Spinal Cord

40
Q

What is the cause of anecephaly

A

Failure of fusion of the anterior Neuropore

41
Q

What part of the brain is affected in anecephaly?

A

the forebrain

42
Q

Rachischisis is caused by what?

A

Failure of fusion of the posterior Neuropore

43
Q

in Rachischisis, what is left exposed which is prone to high risk of infection?

A

Neural Flat Plate

44
Q

Spina Bifida is caused by what?

A

Abnormal Induction of Sclerotomes

45
Q

In Meningocele, what occurs?

A

meninges expand through vertebrae to form meninges sac

46
Q

In Myelomeningocele, what occurs?

A

Meninges and spinal cord form meninges sac

47
Q

What is found to reduce rates of Neural Tube Defects (NTD)

A

Folic Acid

48
Q

What are neural crest cells?

A

they are detached Lateral Edge cells from the neural tube when the lateral edges start to fold

49
Q

Where do Neural crest cells go to and do what?

A

Migrate laterally and ventrally to form different structures throughout body

50
Q

Give 3 derivatives of neural crest cells

A

Septum of heart

Teeth

Adrenal Medulla

51
Q

Neurofibromatosis is caused by what?

What is its role? What happens in this condition

A

Genetic Mutation in Neurofibromin (NF1)

Tumour Suppressor Gene switched off

52
Q

What happens in Neurofibromatosis

A

Increased Cell division –> Benign tumours of Nervous system // Skin // Cranial Bones

53
Q

What two ways of folding occurs in the embryo at week 4

A

Craniocaudal folding

Lateral Folding

54
Q

Which sac sizes stays the same and which is constantly increasing?

A

Amniotic sac increases

Yolk Sac stays the same

55
Q

What happens in lateral folding

A

Amniotic sac expands and pushes lateral edges down

Edges than fuse in most areas

56
Q

What edges / areas in lateral folding dont fuse together?

Why?

A

At mid gut

Yolk sac in the way

57
Q

What is the vitelline duct?

A

Duct that forms between yolk sac and gut

58
Q

In Craniocaudal folding, what is formed which is connected to the faetal bladder

A

Allantois Formation

59
Q

What is ectopia cordis

What causes it

A

Heart outside of body

Lateral folding failure in thoracic region

60
Q

What is Gastroschisis

What causes it

A

Intestines out of the body

Lateral folding failure in the abdomen region
