CFD 1 - craniofacial developement and disorder Flashcards
(42 cards)
What is epithelial mesenchymal interaction?
signally between epithelial tissue to mesenchymal tissue to make cells differentiation into a more differentiated state
What is induction?
the process in which an undifferentiated cell is instructed by specific organisers to produce a morphogenic effect
What are the 3 periods of prenatal development?
- preimplantation period
- embryonic period
- fetal period
What is the timeframe of the preimplantation period?
first week
What is the timeframe of the embryonic period?
beginning of second week to end of eighth week
What is the timeframe for the fetal period?
third to ninth month
What processes happen during the preimplantation period?
fertilisation and implantation
What processes happen during the embryonic period?
induction, proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis, and maturation
What process happens during the fetal period?
maturation
What is the description of the developmental process of induction?
action of one group of cells on another that leads to the establishment of the developmental pathway in the responding tissue
What is the description of the developmental process of proliferation?
controlled cellular growth and accumulation of byproducts
What is the description of the developmental process of differentiation?
change in identical embryonic cells to become distinct structurally and functionally
What is the description of the developmental process of morphogenesis?
development of specific tissue structure or differing form due to embryonic cell migration or proliferation and inductive interactions
What is the description of the developmental process of maturation?
attainment of adult function and size due to proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis
What is ‘patterning’, and when does it occur?
physiological processes or spatial and temporal events, considered key to further development
occur during the embryonic period
What is cytodifferentiation?
the development of different cell types
What is histodifferentiation?
the development of different histological tissue types within a structure
What is morphodifferentiation?
the development of the differing morphology, which makes up its structure or shape, for each organ or system
What can happen once different cell types have developed?
the cells can interact to form specific histological structures
What is morphogenesis?
the process of development of specific tissue structure or shape
At what point in development are most processes fix, and an embryo recognisable?
8th week of prenatal development
In pregnancy, when will most things that can go wrong, go wrong?
by week 8 of development
What happens during the second week of prenatal development?
- the implanted blastocyst grows by increased proliferate of the embryonic cells
- differentiation is also occurring, resulting in changes in cellular morphogenesis;
- every ridge, bump, and recess now indicates these increased levels of cellular differentiation
What does the increased number of embryonic cells present after the second week of prenatal development create?
the embryonic cell layers (or germ layers) within the blastocyst
