Term
during implantation, the inner cell mass of the blastocyst converts to a
Definition
gastrula
Term
ICM develops into
Definition
-embryonic disc
-epiblast (dorsal)
-hypoblast (ventral)
-3 primary germ layers and extra embryoinc membranes develop
Term
amnion
Definition
-epiblast cells form a transparent sac filled with amniotic fluid
-mantains temp
-fluid comes from maternal blood then fetal urine
Term
yolk sac
Definition
Term
yolk sac
Definition
-sac that hangs from ventral surface of the embryo
-from the hypoblast
-later forms part of digestive tube
-source of earliest blood cells and blood vessels
Term
allantois
Definition
-a small outpocketing at the caudal end of the yolk sac
-structural base for the umbilical cord (CT)
-becomes part of the urinary bladder
Term
chorion
Definition
-helps form the placenta
-encloses the embryonic body and all other membranes
Term
gastrulation
Definition
-occurs in week 3
-embryonic disc becomes 3 layered embryo (ecto,meso,endoderm)
-rearrangement and migration of cells
-begins with appearance of primitive streak
Term
primitive streak
Definition
-raised dorsal groove that establishes longitudinal axis
-starts at caudal end of embryo
-primitive node at the cranial end of the streak
Term
formation of germ layers
Definition
-cells form from endoderm first
-then mesoderm
-then ectoderm
Term
notochord
Definition
-rod of mesodermal cells that serve as axial support
-directly below primitive streak
Term
ectoderm forms
Definition
-nervous system
-skin epidermis
Term
endoderm forms
Definition
-epithelial linings of digestive, respiratory, and urogential systems
Term
endoderm and ectoderm considered
Definition
-epithelia
-securely joined cells
Term
mesoderm
Definition
-star shaped cells that are free to migrate in the embryo
Term
at day 16
Definition
-3 germ layers and notochord formed
Term
at 8th week
Definition
-all organ systems recognizable
-end of embryonic period
Term
day 22
Definition
-neural tube forms
-adjacent cells (crest cells) become cranial, spinal, sympathetic nerves
Term
meroencephaly
Definition
partial absence of brain
Term
spina bifida
Definition
incomplete closure of neural tube
Term
by end of 1st month
Definition
3 brain vesicles apparent
Term
by end of 2nd month
Definition
-cerebral hemispheres cover top of brain
-brain waves can be recorded
Term
most of remaining ectoderm forms
Definition
skin
Term
endoderm folding
Definition
-lateral folds
-head and tail folds
Term
specialization of mesoderm
Definition
-3 mesoderm aggregates appear lateral to notochord
-somites, intermediate mesoderm, lateral plate mesoderm
-occur in segmented pairs
Term
somites
Definition
-sclerotome cells
-dermatome cells
-myotome cells
Term
slcerotome cells
Definition
-produce vertebra and rib
Term
dermatome cells
Definition
form dermis on dorsal part of body
Term
myotome cells
Definition
form skeletal muscle of the neck trunk and limbs
Term
intermediate mesoderm
Definition
-forms gonads and kidneys
Term
at the end of embryonic period
Definition
-bones begun to ossify
-skeletal muscles are formed
-kidneys are developing
-gonads formed
-lungs/dig organs obtaining final positions
-heart is formed and pumping
Term
teratogens
Definition
-substances that cause congenital abnormalities
Term
FAS
Definition
-fetal alcohol syndrome
-microcephaly, mental retardation, abnormal growth
Term
thalidomide
Definition
-sedative that treated morning sickness resulted in deformed limbs
Term
isotretinoin (accutane)
Definition
-treats acne
-very strong teratogen
-iPledge program
