Unit 1.L2-Gastrulation,Trilaminar Embryo and Organogenetic Period Flashcards
3.5 week
What disappears and what developes surrounded by the trophoblast cells?
The primary umbilical vesicle disappears & the secondary umbilical vesicle develops surrounded by the trophoblast cells (calipers).
What are the symptoms of pregnancy?
What happens when bleeding is interpreted as menstruation?
an error occurs in determining the expected delivery date of the fetus
What is the origin of germ layers and extra embryonic tissues?
What defines embryonic Cranial-Caudal directionality?
Prechordal plate
What always forms at the end of week 2?
secondary umbilical vesicle (yolk sac) forms and enlarges
What is a key step in week 3
gastrulation
- What is gastrulation?
- What does it begin with?
- Gastrulation is the conversion of the epiblast (bilaminar into a trilaminar embryonic disc consisting of endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm”.
- begins with the formation of the primitive streak
When does morphogenesis begin?
end of D14
What is the result of gastrulation?
the three germ layers & PGCs
- 3-germ layers instructs the formation of adult body plan & all body tissues
What is the process of initation of gastrulation entails? (caudally and cranially)
The primitive streak elongates how and from what?
The primitive streak elongates “medially (caudal->cranial) from the thickened dorsal epiblast surface of the bilaminar embryo
How does the bilaminar embryonic disc goes to trilaminar embryonic disc?
- Primitive streak gives rise to the Mesoderm layer
- The Epiblast is now called the “Ectoderm layer”
- The Hypoblast is replaced by “Endoderm layer
Axial Orientation is Established:
Cranio-Caudal & Dorso-Ventral axis gives “bilateral symmetry” to the embryo.
- Cranial Side: Prechordal plate
- Caudal Side: Primitive streak
- Dorsal Side: Ectoderm
- Ventral side: Hypoblast->Definitive Endoderm
- What does the caudal end of the primitive streak do?
- What does the cranial end of primitive streak form?
- Caudal end of Primitive streak elongates by cell proliferation
- Cranial end of primitive streak has continuous cell proliferation that “pile-up” to form the primitive node
All cells are destined to go to the prechrondal plate but also in
How is the primitive groove formed?
by medial invagination of epiblast cells. It is a narrow linear depression within the primitive streak.
How is the primitive pit formed?
is formed by a depression (cranially) in the primitive node
What does the primitive streak cells do to become mesoblast?
Primitive streak cells “ingress” between the epiblast & hypoblast and become mesoblasts( between epi and hypoblasts)
What is ingression?
vital step for epiblast to change to squamos (spindly) so they can move inside
Definitive embryonic endoderm formation:
Cells from the epiblast, primitive node & primitive streak, displace the hypoblast, forming definitive embryonic endoderm cells in the roof of the umbilical vesicle
What does The remaining dorsal epiblast cells form?
Embryonic ectoderm
Where are the mesoblasts? what do they give rise to?
The Mesoblasts are sandwiched, forming the middle layer, which gives rise to: “Intraembryonic Mesoderm”
The three germ layers form what?
trilaminar embryo
What do cells move through?
primitive pit
What is displaced to extraembryonic regions, forming the wall of the umbilical vesicle?
hypoblast cells
Where does the mesoderm cells in the primitive node migrate to and form?
Move to top by going down in the pit under the epiblast
Cranially, the “mesoderm cells” in the primitive node migrate to form the notochordal process. (top arrows)
Primitive node cont to grow towards what?
prechordal plate
The cells from the Primitive pit continue to move where?
move ventrally towards the hypoblast
What does the primitive pit allow?
What is the mesoblast migration pattern?
What defines the future mouth?
Notochordal process at Prechordal plate defines future mouth; the Stomodeum.
What forms the future mouth?
Cranially, at the Stomodeum, ectoderm fuses to the endoderm, forming the oropharyngeal membrane, which dissolve to form the future mouth.
What forms the primodial anus or proctodeum?
Caudally, the ectoderm fuses to the endoderm, forming the cloacal membrane, which dissolves to form the primordial anus; the Proctodeum
The notochordal process grows so fast until it touches what? what happens
touch precordial plate, oropharyngeal membrane when noto touches
T/F: nonchordal process is endoderm origin?
False: mesoblast
What happens to the primitive steak to effect notochordal process?
- Primitive streak shortens but adds cells to elongate the notochordal process
- The notochordal process lengthens by cranial migration of mesodermal cells from the node under the epiblast
the (notochordal process + adjacent underlying mesoderm) =
induce the overlying “embryonic ectoderm FIELD” to form the neural plate->(future CNS).
What does morphigins and mesodermal cells on the side form?
Notochordal process grows how? Then what does it do?
- The notochordal process grows cranially under the embryonic ectoderm at the primitive pit until it reaches the Prechordal plate.
- Notochordal process splits ( and mouth)
Notochordal process “splits” under the ectoderm & forms what?
- Lumen (the notochordal canal)
- Roof-layer of NC
- Floor-layer of NC
The Roof-layer of NC touches what? to induce what?
The Roof-layer of NC touches embryonic ectoderm to induceàNeural Plate (future CNS).
How does Notochord Originates from the Notochordal process?
- Floor-layer of the Notochordal Canal (NC) fuses with the embryonic endoderm, forming two layered floor.
- Then, both layers degenerate (Floor-layer of NC +Endoderm), thus the Roof-layer of NC touches the umbilical vesicle
After the floor layer of NC and endoderm degrades, primitive pit forms what?
The Primitive pit forms the Neurenteric canal linking the amniotic and umbilical vesicle cavities.
How do you form grooved notochordal plate?
Roof-layer of the notochordal canal flattens
What closes that neurenteric canal?
Cranial cell proliferation in the notochordal plate causes infolding, creating a cylindrical Notochord across the embryo
The notochord is the main inducer, driving what?
organ induction.
General neurulation?
“Infolding” of the Notochordal plate forms what?
forms a tube; the Notochord
Notochord induces the top ectoderm to thicken & form what?
nerual plate
What does the neural plate (neuroectoderm) form
forms CNS, brain, spinal cord & retina
As the notochord elongates, the neural plate broadens how?
cranially (below)
