Cards

Term
Primitive Streak
-Day?
Definition
Shows up between days 15-18
-Establishes axes
-Has Primitive node, groove, and pit
-Formed from interactions at caudal end
Term
Gastrulation events
Definition
-An epiblast cells becomes a bottleneck cell, and then a mesenchymal cell
-Cells invaginate through the primitive streak.
Term
Gastrulation movements
Definition
Epiboly- spreading of epithelial sheet
Emboly-internalization
Convergence-movement toward midline
Extension-lengthening in cranial-caudal plane
Term
Nodal Flow
Definition
Cells have a monocilium which rotate and create a leftward flow, thought to establish asymmetric distribution
Term
Endoderm formation-Day?
Definition
Happens on days 14-15
-Epithelial to mesenchymal transformation (EMT)
-Replace hypoblast cells.
Term
Mesoderm formation-Day?
Definition
-Starts on day 16
-Cells go between epiblast and endoderm, reform to make cardiogenic, paraxial, intermediate, and lateral
Term
Notochord formation
Definition
-Starts as hollow tube, fuses w/endoderm, emerges as a solid chord
Term
Paraxial Mesoderm- 2 main segments
Definition
-Head region- unsegmented, forms muscles of face
-Trunk- segments into somites, uses notch signaling, 42-44 pairs. becomes vertebrae, etc.
Term
Lateral Plate mesoderm-Day?
Definition
Only forms in trunk
Splits at day 17 into:
Splanchnic- gut lining
Somatic-inner lining of body wall
Term
Neural Plate formation-day?
Definition
-Forms on day 18 cranial to primitive node
- Develops cranial->caudal due to Bmp antagonists
-Will fold in the 4th week to form neural tube.
Term
4 Steps of Neural tube formation
Definition
1-Neural plate thickens
2-neural plate elongates
3-lateral folding w/ lateral/median hinge points
4- Fusion w/opposing folds. leaves neural crest cells
Term
Secondary Neurulation
Definition
-The forming of neural tube in the sacral/coccygeal sections
- A medullary cord develops, then a lumen, then it merges with the cranial neural tube.
Term
NTD
Definition
-Happens in 1/1000 live births
-Craniorachischisis-entire length is open
-spina bifida aperta-lower region is open
-Anencephaly- open at cranial end, no brain
Term
Myelomeningocele vs meningocele
Definition
Both are a bulge out of the spine, myelomeningocele is when the spinal cord is in the bulge.
Term
What becomes the diaphragm?
Definition
The septum transversum, which also creates a barrier between the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
Term
Anterior body wall defects
Definition
Omphalocele-bowel is covered
Gastroschisis-bowel protrude out of body wall
Ectopia Cordis- heart forms outside of body
Term
Endoderm derivatives
Definition
-Most glands, respiratory, liver, ant. pit.
Term
Week 4 external appearance
Definition
-C-shaped
-No limbs, no urogential system
-oropharyngeal membrane breaks down.
Term
Pharyngeal arches
Definition
Swelling of mesoderm that will become specific structures, ie. maxilla or hyoid
Term
Yolk Sac
Definition
-Vestigial for nutrition
-PGC and blood islands
Term
Amnion
Definition
-Wraps embryo and provides protection
-single layer of ectodermal cells
Term
Chorion
Definition
Chorionic Plate-surrounds the chorionic cavity
Chorionic Cavity- contains the embryo/amnion
Term
Chorionic Villi
Definition
1-Primary villus of cytotrophoblast extension
2-secondary villus adds mesenchyme core
3-tertiary villus- maternal blood vessels
Term
Decidual tissue
Definition
-From the mother
-Decidua capsularis-opposite of fetus, on chorionic vessle
-Decidua basalis-embryo side, becomes placenta
-Decidua parietalis- endometrium of uterus
Term
Frondosum/Laeve
Definition
Chorion frondosum-decidua basalis, becomes placenta due to blood availability
Chorion Laeve-smooth chorion, fusion of capsularis and parietalis
Term
Umbilical Cord
Definition
-Derived from body stalk
-Bathed in Warton's Jelly (CT)
-2 arteries, one vein
Term
Turner's Syndrome
Definition
- Monosomy X
-Short stature, webbed neck, streaked ovaries.
Term
Skin cells types
Definition
Keratinocytes-multilayered ectoderm
Langerhaun's- immunity, from bone marrow
Melanoblasts-pigment cells, from NCC
Merkel Cells- mechanoreceptors, probably NCC
Term
Sweat and Sebaceous glands
Definition
Sweat- bud off from statum germinativum, unbranched and coiled
Sebaceous-bud off from hair follicle
Term
Hair development
Definition
-Caused by dermal induction
-a hair peg forms- epidermal downgrowth
-follicle/dermal papilla
-2 bulges-arrector pili, sebaceous gland
Term
Differentiation of the sclerotome
Definition
-Ventral portion surround notochord and forms vertebral body -Dorsal portion forms vertebral arch/spine -Lateral portion from ribs
Term
Sclerotomes
Definition
Dense caudal half and loose cranial half
-4 most cranial fuse to make occipital bone
-8 cervical somites, one fuses w/occipital, leaving 7 cervical
Term
Intervertebral Disks
Definition
Notochord persists as nucleus pulposus
Sclerotomal cells form annulus fibrosus
Term
Neurocranium
Definition
-Surrounds skull
-Chondrocranium:occipital, sphenoid, temporal
-Membranous neurocranium-frontal/parietal
-Composite-occipital/temporal add membranous bone during dev.
Term
Grebe type chondrodysplasia
Definition
-shortening of appendicular skeleton
-mutation in GDF5 (size/proliferation)
-limb skeleton w/increasing severity proximal to distal
Term
Achondrodisplasia
Definition
-Most common form of dwarfism
-all endochondral bones affected
-mutation in fibroblast growth factor 3
-decreased chondrocyte proliferation
Term
What induces limb growth?
Definition
-FGF10 induces the nearby ectoderm
Term
Limb Disk
Definition
region of embryo that will give rise to the limb
Term
AER
Definition
-Apical ectodermal ridge
-multilayered ectoderm
-interacts with mesoderm core to bring about limb
-limb grow proximal to distal
Term
3 parts to limb mesoderm
Definition
-Somatic-skeleton

-Dorsolateral-melanocytes
-Ventrolateral-sensory ganglia
-Ventral-adrenal stuff
