Body Folding and Body Cavities Flashcards
(44 cards)
Intraembryonic coelom
divides lateral mesoderm into :
Somatic layer of lateral mesoderm
Splanchnic layer of lateral mesoderm
Somatic layer of lateral mesoderm
continuous w/ extraembryonic mesoderm covering amnion
Splanchnic layer of lateral mesoderm
continuous w/extraembryonic mesoderm covering umbilical vesicle
Somatopleure
somatic mesoderm and overlying embryonic ectoderm form body wall
Splanchnopleure
splanchnic mesoderm and underlying embryonic ectoderm form embryonic gut
embryonic planes
establishment of body form caused by folding of flat trilaminar embryonic disc into a cylindrical embryo
Rapid growth of embryo
Simultaneous at caudal, cranial and sides
Embryo elongation cranially and caudally
cranial and caudal regions move ventrally at week 4
neural folds during embryonic folding
project dorsally into amniotic cavity
grow cranially beyond oropharyngeal membrane and overhang primordial heart
Septum transversum during embryonic folding
translocated to ventral surface
Head Folding
septum transversum, primordial heart, pericardial coelom, oropharyngeal membrane now on ventral surface
Arrangement of embryonic coelom
Affected during head fold
After head folding
Pericardial cavity is ventral
pericardioperitoneal canals run dorsally on each
side of foregut
intraembryonic and extraembryonic coeloms in communication
Folding of the caudal end of embryo
due to growth of distal neural tube
Cloacal membrane
becomes anus in future
Lateral Folds
Rapid growth of SC and somites produce R/L lateral folds
Extend ventrally toward midline
Creates a cylindrical embryo
Gastroschisis
protrusion of viscera, site of abdominal defect is to the right of the umbilical cord
bowel uncovered and floating in amniotic fluid
Congenital epigastric hernia
midline bulge of abdominal wall located between xiphoid process and umbilicus
bowel not exposed to amniotic fluid because it remains covered by skin and tissue
Intraembryonic coelom
divided into pericardial cavity, pleural cavities and peritoneal cavity
Body cavities lined with mesothelium
parietal wall: derived from somatic mesoderm
visceral wall: derived from splanchnic mesoderm
heart and pericardial cavity are relocated ventrally, anterior to foregut
during formation to head fold
Dividing the body cavity
partitions form in each pericardioperitoneal canal separating:
- pericardial cavity from pleural cavities
- pleural cavities from peritoneal cavity
pleuropericardial folds enlarge and form:
pleuropericardial membranes: project into pericardioperitoneal canals
bronchial buds:
grow into pericardioperitoneal canals, extend into body wall
mesenchyme splits into:
outer layer: thoracic wall
Inner layer: fibrous pericardium
