Q

When and how is mesenchyme formed?

A

Shortly after the primitive streak appears several cells leave the deep surface and form mesenchyme – an embryonic connective tissue that consists of small spindle-shaped cells loosely arranged in an extracellular matrix.

Q

Describe the process of formation of three germ layers.

A

Process of Invagination:
* Cells of epiblast migrate towards primitive streak
* At arrival, these cells detach from the epiblast
* Once detached the cells slip under the epiblast.

Once all cells have invaginated:
▪ Some displace the hypoblast – ENDODERM
▪ Some lie between epiblast and endoderm – MESODERM
▪ Some cells remain in the epiblast - ECTODERM

Q

Explain how the notochordal process is formed.

A
  • As cells mesodermal ‘slip’ through the primitive, streak some of these cells migrate cranially from the primitive pit and node.
  • These cells form a median cellular cord – NOTOCHORDAL PROCESS
  • The notochordal process eventually gets a lumen which forms the
    notochordal canal.

Explain how the notochordal process is formed.

  • As cells mesodermal ‘slip’ through the primitive, streak some of these cells migrate cranially from the primitive pit and node.
  • These cells form a median cellular cord – NOTOCHORDAL PROCESS
  • The notochordal process eventually gets a lumen which forms the
    notochordal canal.
25
Q

The notochordal process grows cranially until it reaches the____________

A

Prechordal plate

26
Q

What is a prechordal plate?

A

It is a small circular area where the endoderm and the ectoderm are fused. It is located cranial to the primitive node

27
Q

The prechordal plate gives rise to____________.

A

The oropharyngeal membrane, which is the site for future oral cavity.

28
Q

What is the cloacal membrane?

A

It is a small circular area where the endoderm and the ectoderm are fused, caudal to the primitive streak. It is the site for the future anus

29
Q

Signals from the__________________ induce notochordal precursor cells to form the notochord

A

primitive streak

30
Q

Extension of notochord

A
  • Extends from oropharyngeal membrane to primitive node
31
Q

What happens to the notochord?

A

The notochord degenerates as bodies of vertebrae form; however, small portions remain as the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral discs

32
Q

How is the neural plate formed?

A

-Notochord development causes a thickening of the ectoderm
around the midline.
*This thickening forms the elongated NEURAL PLATE
The neural plate broadens and extends cranially to the oropharyngeal membrane and eventually extends past the notochord.

33
Q

What does the neural plate form?

A

The neuroectoderm of the neural plate forms the central nervous system as well as other structures such as the retina

34
Q

When does neurulation occur?

A

Around day 18

35
Q

Describe the process of neurulation

A

-Neural plate invaginates along the central axis forming the MEDIAN LONGITUDINAL NEURAL GROOVE with NEURAL FOLDS on either side.
-These neural folds become prominent at the cranial end of the embryo and are the first signs of brain development.

36
Q

When do the neural folds fuse to form the neural tube?

A

By the end of the third week the folds move together to fuse thereby forming the NEURAL TUBE

37
Q

What are the cranial and caudal ends of the neural tube?

A
  • Cranial and caudal ends of the neural tube are known as the anterior and posterior neuropores (respectively) until the neural tube closes.
38
Q

When is neurulation completed?

A
  • Neurulation is completed during the 4th week.
39
Q

How are neural crest cells formed?

A

As the neural folds close, some of the neuroectodermal cells at the inner margin of these folds detach.
* These cells, termed the NEURAL CREST CELLS, form a flattened irregular mass between the neural tube and the overlying ectoderm.
-The neural crest then separates into left and right parts that move to the dorsolateral aspect of the neural tube where they form sensory ganglia of the spinal and cranial nerves.

40
Q

What are the derivatives of cranial neural crest cells?

A

Craniofacial bone and cartilage
Cranial neurons and glia
Odontoblasts
Melanocytes

41
Q

A

Sensory neurons and glia
Autonomic neurons
Chromaffin cells
Melanocytes

44
Q

Where are somites derived from, and when does this happen?

A

They are derived from the paraxial mesoderm, around the end of the 3rd week

45
Q

How is the age of the embryo determined?

A

Determined using prominence of somites

46
Q

True or false: somites develop from the caudal region to the cranial region

A

False
They develop cranio-caudally from the future occipital region

47
Q

What do somites give rise to?

A

The axial skeleton and the associated muscles and dermis

48
Q

____________from the spinal cord innervate the muscle cells in the somites.

A

Motor axons

49
Q

How does the intraembryonic coelom form?

A

It forms from the fusion of the coelomic spaces
that appear in the lateral plate mesoderm and cardiogenic mesoderm.
This coelom then divides the lateral plate mesoderm into two layers:
Parietal (Somatic) layer
Visceral (splanchnic) layer

50
Q

Describe the parietal (somatic) layer of the lateral plate mesoderm

A

beneath the ectodermal epithelium which is continuous with extraembryonic mesoderm covering the amnion.

51
Q

Describe visceral (splanchnic) layer of the lateral plate mesoderm

A

Adjacent to the endoderm and continuous with the
extraembryonic mesoderm covering the umbilical vesicle.
- Forms the embryonic gut or SPLANCHNOPLEURE

52
Q

During the second month of development, the intraembryonic coelom becomes divided into three body cavities.
Names these cavities

A

Pericardial Cavity, pleural cavity and the Peritoneal Cavity.
