Term
Epiblast
Definition
in ectoderm and mesoderm
Term
Hypoblast
Definition
in endoderm
Term
Notochord
Definition
produced from mesoderm; defining the primitive axis of the embryo - in lower vertebrates it persists through life as the main axial support of the body; in higer vertebrates it is replaced with the vertebral column
*found in the ventral surface of the neural tube
Term
Somites
Definition
segmented blocks; gives rise to vetebrae backbone and muscles associted with the axial skeleton also dermis and connective tissue
Term
Mesoderm
Definition
here a cavity develops in a lateral plate mesoderm called the intraembroytic coelomic cavity; continuous with the extraembryotic coelum; derives fro the somatic mesoderm and splanchnic mesoderm
*gives rise to connective tissue and skeleton of body wall
Term
Splanchnic Mesoderm
Definition
gives rise to the heart, blood vessels, blood cells, stomia of the gonads, smooth muscle of viscera and cortex of adrenal glands
Term
Intermediate Mesoderm
Definition
gives rise to the kidneys, associated ducts, epididymis and van deferns in the male and vagina oviducts and urtherus in the female
Term
Yolk Sac
Definition
first extra membrane to develop jut 78 days of developent; contains vielline fluid for the nourishment of the embryo
*produces RBC for embryo until the liver develops during the 5th week
Term
Allatois
Definition
involved in the formation of blood cells and blood vessels - the umbilical arteries and veins - in the umbilical cord, which join embryo with placenta
*late becomes the urinary bladder
Term
Amnion
Definition
encloses the embryo in a fluid-filld caivity
*keeps embryo from drying out and is a shock absorber
Term
Chorin
Definition
outermost membrane; developed from the tropholoblast; completely surrounds the embryo
*protective membranes=forms a portion of the placenta
*secretes hCG to then secrete hormones such as estrogen to maintain the uterine lining
