Q

situs invetus

A
  • Complete mirror image viscera
  • Commonly exults in immobile cilia
    • Infertile

Q

during gastrulation the hyboblast is replaced and the epiblast differentitated into the trilaminar disk

A

ectoderm

mesoderm

endoderm

24
Q

directly beneath the primitive the streak in the mesoderm what is formed

A

the notochord

25
Q

when does the notochord form

A

week 4

26
Q

the notochrod

A

notorchord helps define major axis of the body and are important in neurulation (triggers it)

27
Q
A
28
Q

neurulation occurs

A

in two stages

29
Q

stage 1

A

formation of neural tube

30
Q

second stage of neurulation

A

Notochord also causes the mesoderm to subdivide and differentiate

31
Q

in the first stage the notochord causes the ectoderm above to

A

thicken

32
Q

neural tube formation

A
  1. Triggered by signals from the notochord
  2. Just above the notochord the ectoderm thickens (neural plate) and forms a fold producing a neural groove
  3. On either side of the neural groove folds will form
  4. Neural folds come together until the two-fold touch each other
  5. Neural tube found in the mesoderm dissociates from the rest of the ectoderm and the rest of the ectoderm will seal itself back together
33
Q
A
34
Q

neural tube will become the

A

brain stem

35
Q

second stage of neureulation

A

Notochord also causes the mesoderm to subdivide and differentiate

36
Q

notochord comes from the

A

axial meosderm

37
Q

somites will come from the

A

paraxial mesoderm

38
Q

somites differentiate into

A

muscle, cartilage, bone, and dermis

myotomes and dermatomes

39
Q

intermediate mesoderm si the

A

original of urogenital sysrtem- kidney, gonads, adrenal glands

40
Q

lateral plate mesoderm

A

heart, blood vessels, muscle in our organs

41
Q

after neurulation

A

segmentation and organisation of the mesoderm–> giving rise to somites

42
Q

somites

A

organisation of oparaxial mesoderm into segements

43
Q

how many somite pairs

A

31

44
Q

first pair of somites appear

A

on day 20 in the occipital region

45
Q

somites give rise to

A

repeating structures such as…

  • vertebrae
  • ribs
  • intercostal muscle
  • spinal cord segments
46
Q

somites guide

A

innervation by myotomes

47
Q

somite derivative

A

dermatome

myotome

sclerotome

48
Q

dermatome

A

skin section

  • dermis
49
Q

myotome

  • muscles
A
50
Q

sclerotome

A

hard tissue section

  • bone
51
Q

31 somites and 31

A

spinal nerves

52
Q

why is embryonic folding important

A

before embryonic folding, the mouth is at the same level as the heart

53
Q

aim of folding

A

to present only ectoderm to the otuside world

54
Q

what folding achieves

A

Draws together the margins of the disk

  • Creating a ventral body wall
  • Pilling amniotic membranes around the disc
    • Embryo becomes suspended within the amniotic sac
    • Pulling connecting stalk enthralling
  • Also creates the primordium of the gut, put the heart and the primordium of the diaphragm in the right place and creates a new cavity within he embryo (GI tract)
55
Q

explain folding brefiled

A

the cranial (head) and caudal (back) fold in towards eachother

  • the endoderm (GI tract) folds into the middle, with the ectoderm covering around it
  • when the tract is formed, the defintitve yolk sac will be coming out from it
  • this yolk sac will be pinched off

Q

57
Q

by the end of the 4th week

A
  • Nervous system has started to form
  • Segments have appeared
    • Assigning tasks to specific cells
  • Embryo has folded, putting everything in right place
