20
Q

What occurs during week 3?

A

The flat trilaminar embryonic disk becomes a more cylindrical embryo that occurs as a result of embryonic growth forming body cavities.

21
Q

What folding leads to the formation of the gut?

A

Dorsal / ventral and lateral folding of the embryo

22
Q

What is the membrane that turns into the mouth?

A

Oropharyngeal (buccopharyngeal) membrane

23
Q

What is the membrane that turns into the anus?

A

Cloacal membrane

24
Q

What occurs at 22 days?

A
  • Gut-associated organs begin to form as buds from the endoderm, including the thyroid, lung, liver, pancreas
  • Midgut opening to the yolk sac progressively narrows
25
Q

What occurs by the end of the first month? x 3

A
  • The stomach bulge is visible
  • Dorsal pancreas has begun to bud
  • Connection of the midgut to the yolk sac is reduced to a yolk stalk
26
Q

What does lateral folding of the embryo complete?

A

The gut tube via the formation of body cavities

27
Q

What occurs at the lateral plate?

A

The mesoderm splits into splanchnic and somatic mesoderm

28
Q

What does the splanchnic (visceral) mesoderm line?

A

Lines the gut continuous with yolk sac (viscera walls)

29
Q

What becomes the mesentery?

A

Somatic mesoderm

30
Q

What does the somatic mesoderm line?

A

The body cavity (body wall)

31
Q

Where does the foregut extend from?

A

The buccopharyngeal membrane to the septum transversum

32
Q

What is the buccopharyngeal membrane?

A

The septum between primitive mouth and pharynx

33
Q

What is the septum transversum?

A

The precursor to diaphragm and ventral mesentery

34
Q

Through what does the midgut communicate with the yolk sac?

A

Vitellein tube

35
Q

Where does the hindgut extend to?

A

The cloacal membrane

36
Q

Where is the cloacal

membrane? and what will it become?

A

Where ectoderm and endoderm are in contact – will become anus

37
Q

What does the hindgut communicate with?

A

The allantoic diverticulum

38
Q

What does the allantoic diverticulum become? x 2

A

The allantois, which becomes the urachus – medial umbilical ligament

39
Q

What is the first functioning intra-embryonic blood vessel?

A

Dorsal aortae

40
Q

What supplies the pharynx? (foetus)

A

Aortic arches
