Q

What two things happen in order for embryonic disc to transition from bilaminar to trilaminar?

A

Days 14-15: epiblast cells dive through primitive streak, invading hypoblast and form the secondary endoderm
Day 16: more epiblast cells dive through primitive streak and form a new 3rd layer (mesoderm)

Q
  1. When do the prechordal plate and notochordal process form and how?
  2. General location of prechordal plate
  3. What do notochordal process and prechordal plate form and what is this products function
A
  1. Day 17– another wave of ingressing epiblast cells dive through primitive pit
  2. Further cranially
  3. Notochord= gives rise to vertebral bodies and induces ectoderm to form neural tube and neural crest

Q
  1. What are the three plates that the mesoderm splits into?
  2. What do each of these plates form?
  3. Where is notochordal process located?
A
  1. Paraxial, intermediate and lateral
  2. Paraxial- axial skeleton, skeletal muscle and part of dermis
    Intermediate- urogenital systems
    Lateral- most of dermis and lining of body wall; linings of visceral organs
  3. At midline, in between these structures (like in between both sides)

Q

3 zones of neural tube from exterior to interior

Which zone do neuroepithelial cells undergo mitosis? What forms?

16
Q
  1. What are neuroblasts?

2. What are glioblasts?

A
  1. Stem cells that form neurons

2. Form glial cells (ependymal and radial glia cells)

17
Q
  1. Which plate yields sensory regions of spinal cord?
  2. Motor regions?
  3. Where do autonomics develop?
A
  1. Alar plate
  2. Basal plate
  3. Sulcus limitans (kind of centrally located)
18
Q

What is anencephaly and why does it occur?

A

Failure of entire brain to develop; nerve pores don’t close so brain development does not continue (very small skull)

19
Q

Explain the following of types of herniations that occur due to problems with closure of the skull:

  1. Meningocele
  2. Meningoencephalocele
  3. Meningohydroencephalocele
A
  1. Herniation of meninges
  2. Herniation of meninges and brain tissue
  3. Herniation of meninges, brain tissue and ventricle
20
Q

Difference between spina bifida cystica and spina bifida occulta

A

Cystica= herniation of just meninges or meninges and spinal cord into a cyst covered by skin

Occulta= no herniation or formation of cyst; failure of closure of spinal canal but back appears normal

21
Q

What are somites?

What are somites derived from?

What do they subdivide into?

A

Mature somitomeres

Paraxial mesoderm

Sclerotomes (produce bones) and dermamyotome (dermis and muscles)

22
Q

7 most cranial somitomeres produce what?

How many caudal somites form axial skeleton?

A

Muscles of face, jaw, and pharynx (CN 5,7,9,10)

34

23
Q

Location of somites?

What do somites form?

A

On each side of neural tube; just lateral to somites is intermediate mesoderm, and lateral to that is lateral mesoderm

Axial skeleton, ribs, some cranial bones, skeletal muscle and part of dermis

24
Q

IVD if formed from what?

A

IVD comes from pieces of sclerotome and notochord: sclerotome= annulus fibrosus; notochord= nucleus pulposus

25
Q

Axons are developed from?

A

Developing motorneurons in spinal cord extending processes through developing vertebrae to myotomes

26
Q

Location of neural crest?

Neural crest forms what structures?

Neural tube forms what structures?

A

Between ectoderm and neural tube

All components of PNS, cranial nerve ganglia, adrenal medulla, arachnoid and pia mater, and enteric nervous system

Spinal cord and brain

27
Q

Where do placodes derive from?

Significance of placodes?

A

Ectoderm (placodes are structures outside of neural tube)

Neural crest cells migrate to join the placodes and form sensory neurons and parasympathetic neurons (post-ganglionic)

28
Q

Neural tube has two ends and what in the middle

A

Cranial and caudal with neural crest cell differentiation in the middle

29
Q

When looking at the caudal end of the neural tube, it has 3 layers. Name them from superficial to deep

A

Marginal zone, mantle zone, and neuroepithelial zone

30
Q

What else is formed from caudal end

A

Alar (dorsal) and basal (ventral) plates
