Week 4 to 8 - Organogenetic Period Flashcards
During the fourth to eighth weeks period the embryo will develop the ___, the tissues will differentiate fast, so any exposure to teratogens during this period may cause congenital anomalies.
main organ systems
Nervous and cardiovascular systems will begin to develop during weeks ______ which is important to support a live fetus.
4-8
agents such as drugs and viruses that produce or increase the incidence of congenital anomalies.
Teratogens
The normal development of an embryo can be divided into three phases, which are interrelated:
Growth, Morphogenesis, and Differentiation
First phase: consists of cell division
Growth
Second phase: _______, the development of shape, size, or other features of a particular organ or part of the whole of the body.
Morphogenesis
Third phase: maturation of physiologic processes.
Differentiation.
During the fourth week of development a significant event is the establishment of body form by folding of the flat trilaminar disc into a cylindrical embryo.
“Folding of the embryo”
The fast growth of the embryo is responsible for the folding of the _____ and ______ planes.
median and horizontal
Folding at the cranial and caudal ends occurs simultaneously. This causes constriction at the junction of the embryo and _______
umbilical vesicle (yolk sac).
As the embryo’s head folds, heart will be dorsally pushed to directly above the ____. This is important for proper location of the heart. It is rare to see heart beating outside of chest.
diaphragm
HEAD FOLD: During week 4, the neural folds in the cranial region thickened forming the _____ of the brain
primordium
HEAD FOLD: The developing embryo projects into the ____ and as development advances it grows beyond the oropharyngeal membrane and overhangs the developing heart.
amniotic cavity
The _______, primordial heart, pericardial coelom, and oropharyngeal membrane move onto the ventral surface of the embryo. After folding the septum transversum lies caudal to the heart where later it will develop into the central tendon of the diaphragm.
septum transversum or transverse septum
After folding, the pericardial coelom lies ventral to the heart and cranial to the septum transversum and the intraembryonic coelom communicates on each side with the ______
extraembryonic coelom
In week four of development, the heart is located outside of the chest. There is no space or _______ cavity because it is folding.
Pericardial
Head Fold: During folding, part of the endoderm of the umbilical vesicle goes into the embryo as the ____ (primordium of pharynx, esophagus, etc).
foregut
Head fold: The foregut lies between the brain and heart, and the ____.
oropharyngeal membrane
Head fold: The ____ will form the digestive track from the esophagus to a portion of the anus.
Endoderm
Head fold: From the foregut, a small attachment comes interior to the esophagus, forming the ____. The embryo will begin swallowing.
Trachea
Tail fold: The growing of the ______ (spinal cord primordium) causes the tail to grow.
neural tube
The ______ or tail region projects over the cloacal membrane.
caudal eminence
The future site of the anus is called the
cloacal membrane
The ____ or the primordium of the descending colon is incorporated to the embryo during folding and is part of the endodermal layer.
hindgut
The ___ or primordium of the urinary bladder and the rectum forms when the terminal part of the hindgut dilates slightly.
cloaca
The ____ or primordium of the umbilical cord is now attached to the ventral surface of the embryo, and a diverticulum of the umbilical vesicle called the allantois, is partially incorporated into the embryo.
connecting stalk
During ___ the three layers that will give rise to the primordia of all tissues and organs are formed: Ectoderm, Mesoderm and Endoderm.
gastrulation
This germ layer gives rise to the CNS, PNS, sensory epithelia of the eye, ear, and nose. Epidermis and its appendages; mammary glands; pituitary gland and enamel of teeth
Ectoderm
Neural crest cells derived from ___ gives rise to the cells of the spinal and cranial nerves.
neuroectoderm
Germ layer that gives rise to connective tissue; cartilage; bone; striated and smooth muscles; heart blood and lymphatic vessels; kidneys; ovaries; testes; genital ducts; serous membrane lining the body cavities and cortex of suprarenal glands.
Mesoderm
