Unit 1.L2-Gastrulation,Trilaminar Embryo and Organogenetic Period Flashcards
(129 cards)
3.5 week
What disappears and what developes surrounded by the trophoblast cells?
The primary umbilical vesicle disappears & the secondary umbilical vesicle develops surrounded by the trophoblast cells (calipers).
What are the symptoms of pregnancy?
What happens when bleeding is interpreted as menstruation?
an error occurs in determining the expected delivery date of the fetus
What is the origin of germ layers and extra embryonic tissues?
What defines embryonic Cranial-Caudal directionality?
Prechordal plate
What always forms at the end of week 2?
secondary umbilical vesicle (yolk sac) forms and enlarges
What is a key step in week 3
gastrulation
- What is gastrulation?
- What does it begin with?
- Gastrulation is the conversion of the epiblast (bilaminar into a trilaminar embryonic disc consisting of endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm”.
- begins with the formation of the primitive streak
When does morphogenesis begin?
end of D14
What is the result of gastrulation?
the three germ layers & PGCs
- 3-germ layers instructs the formation of adult body plan & all body tissues
What is the process of initation of gastrulation entails? (caudally and cranially)
The primitive streak elongates how and from what?
The primitive streak elongates “medially (caudal->cranial) from the thickened dorsal epiblast surface of the bilaminar embryo
How does the bilaminar embryonic disc goes to trilaminar embryonic disc?
- Primitive streak gives rise to the Mesoderm layer
- The Epiblast is now called the “Ectoderm layer”
- The Hypoblast is replaced by “Endoderm layer
Axial Orientation is Established:
Cranio-Caudal & Dorso-Ventral axis gives “bilateral symmetry” to the embryo.
- Cranial Side: Prechordal plate
- Caudal Side: Primitive streak
- Dorsal Side: Ectoderm
- Ventral side: Hypoblast->Definitive Endoderm
- What does the caudal end of the primitive streak do?
- What does the cranial end of primitive streak form?
- Caudal end of Primitive streak elongates by cell proliferation
- Cranial end of primitive streak has continuous cell proliferation that “pile-up” to form the primitive node
All cells are destined to go to the prechrondal plate but also in
How is the primitive groove formed?
by medial invagination of epiblast cells. It is a narrow linear depression within the primitive streak.
How is the primitive pit formed?
is formed by a depression (cranially) in the primitive node
What does the primitive streak cells do to become mesoblast?
Primitive streak cells “ingress” between the epiblast & hypoblast and become mesoblasts( between epi and hypoblasts)
What is ingression?
vital step for epiblast to change to squamos (spindly) so they can move inside
Definitive embryonic endoderm formation:
Cells from the epiblast, primitive node & primitive streak, displace the hypoblast, forming definitive embryonic endoderm cells in the roof of the umbilical vesicle
What does The remaining dorsal epiblast cells form?
Embryonic ectoderm
Where are the mesoblasts? what do they give rise to?
The Mesoblasts are sandwiched, forming the middle layer, which gives rise to: “Intraembryonic Mesoderm”
The three germ layers form what?
trilaminar embryo
What do cells move through?
primitive pit
