Q

What are the 2 different aging systems for a fetus?

A
  1. Fertilization (conception) age: dates pregnancy from the time of fertilization
  2. Menstrual/gestational/clinical age: used by clinicians and dates the pregnancy from the woman’s last period. 2 weeks greater than fertilization age.

What are sources of amniotic fluid?

Study These Flashcards
A

Amnion cells
Maternal tissues
Fetal urine

25
How many L of amniotic fluid accumulate by 33 weeks?
1
26
What causes polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid)?
Insufficient fetal swallowing
27
What causes oligohydramnios (too little amniotic fluid)?
Renal agenesis
28
When does gastrulation occur?
Week 3
29
In gastrulation, the cells of the _______ migrate and change shape slipping into the ______ groove.
**Epiblast**, primitive grove Hypoblast is now gone!
30
The primitive grove forms on the ______ side and the _____ end.
Dorsal side, caudal end
31
What order do the layers of gastrulation form?
Endoderm Mesoderm Ectoderm
32
Gastrulation mistakes can lead to what kind of tumor?
Sacrococcygeal teratoma
33
What important structure forms at week 3? What is its adult remnant?
Notochord, nucleus pulposus
34
What tissue layer forms the nervous system?
Ectoderm
35
What is the precursor of the primordial cns?
Neural plate
36
In what week do the neural tube pores close? Which is first?
Cranial first then caudal in week 4
37
What is meroanencephaly?
Failure of rostral neuropore to close during the fourth week, forebrain development is abnormal
38
What nutrient can cause neural tube defects when levels are inadequate?
Folic acid
39
What cells migrate into the mesenchyme once the neural tube forms (becomes cylndrical)?
Neural crest cells
40
What cells and tissues do neural crest cells give rise to?
PNS and bones (facial skeleton, skull, etc.)
41
What is the paraxial mesoderm?
Condensation of mesoderm lateral to the notochord. Organizes into somitomeres in the head. Age of embryo can be related to number of somites.
42
What do somites give rise to?
``` Segmental bone (axial skeleton) (sclerotome) Skeletal muscle (myotome) Dermis/connective tissue for back (dermatome) ```
43
Each myotome and dermatome has its own segmental nerve component that ______ with the cells.
migrates
44
What system does the intermediate mesoderm give rise to?
Urogenital system
45
What is the somatic/parietal mesoderm layer?
Layer adjacent to the body wall
46
What is the splanchnic/visceral mesoderm?
Lines the gut
47
What causes the formation of the body cavity?
Splitting of the lateral plate mesoderm.
48
What is the function of the head fold?
Move the heart and other organs below the oropharyngeal membrane
49
All of the epithelia lining the gut is formed from what?
Endoderm
50
What is omphalocele?
Failure of intestine to return to the body. Covered by amnion
51
What is gastroschisis?
Protrusion of the viscera into the amniotic cavity due to abnormal closure of the body wall.
52
Limbs will have developed by the end of week ____.
8
53
Upper extremity development takes place 2 days _____ lower extremity.
Before
54
What is the apical ectodermal ridge (AER)?
A distal tip of ectoderm that signals for a limb bud to form into a full limb
55
What gives rise to the limb bones, cartilage, and connective tissue?
Lateral plate mesoderm. Mesenchymal cells laying down cartilage followed by ossification
56
What gives rise to skeletal muscle?
Paraxial mesoderm
57
What gives rise to melanocytes and schwann cells?
Neural crest cells
