von bartheld development 1 Flashcards
formation of three layers is by?
invaginating epiblast cells
these invaginating epiblast cells form mesoderm and what becomes the notocord before we have any neural tissue
three germ layers
ectoderm
mesoderm: notocord and intraembryonic mesoderm
endoderm
describe the process of neurulation
neurulation=neural tube formation
Ectoderm thickens centrally and it forms a groove called the neural plate. The dorsal edges of that neural plate come to align and fuse with each other–forming the neural tube neural tube!!!!
what happened to the neural crest cells that were just lateral to the neural plate? they formed the intermediate zone of neural crest!
neural tube closure
also at how many days do you have the cranial and caudal neuropores?
The neural plate first comes together first in the middle part, and then it zips up rostrally and caudally. You also have somites on the side of the neural tube.
At 23 days, you have cranial neuropore and caudal neuropore
in order to allow for neurulation, the ectoderm had to convert to neural ectoderm (neural plate/neural crest).
let’s backtrack; what allowed this?
The notocord sends signals to the overlying ectoderm to become neuronal.
the name for the amphibian equivalent of the notocord?
the dorsal lip…. it was used in experiments in the 20s to show that the notocord induces the formation of neural ectoderm.
transplating a dorsal lip led to the induction of a second neural plate… sometimes even a secondary embryo
explain BMP-4
Default of the ectoderm is to become neuronal
but that is inhibited by BMP-4 which prevents the ectoderm from becoming neuronal (BMP-4 inhibition occurs in the areas lateral to the neural plate)
In the neural plate, BMP-4 binding is inhibited to its receptor by chordin and noggin—which are specifically released by the notochord.
Without bmp-4 =====> become neuronal
two ends of neural tube
roof plate w/ all the sensory stuff
floorplate w/ all the motor stuff
neuroepithelial cells
slide 14 dev 1 ask von bartheld
ventricular zone stuff (neuroepithelial layer)
adjacent to the floor plate are…
adjacent to the roof plate are….
floor; an basal plate on each side (sensory)
roof: an alar plate on each side (motor)
sulcus limitans
marginal layer is peripheral to the plates
when does the neural tube start and stop losing?
starts at day 19 and goes to day 23
most common neural tube defect
describe it
spina bifida occulta
Spina bifidia occulta: intact neural tube but the arches did not form properly and skin has more hairs.
what does spina bifida occulta look lke?
Spina bifidia occulta: intact neural tube but the arches did not form properly and skin has more hairs.
what does a meningocele look like?
More severe when you have prolapse of the subarachnoid space ======>big ol dorsal subarachnoid space
Can easily be fixed w/ surgery
what does a meningoceole look like?
nerves tissue itself protures. the spinal cord itself goes way posterior
Harder to fix
what does rachisis lok like?
Rachschisis ====> no normal structure formation… looks like sinal cord didnt even form
definitely would see neurological symptoms.
anencephaly
no brain formed!!!
somemes a brainstem. no telencephalon
NTD incidence
1-8 per 1000 live births
NTD etiology
failure of neural tube closure
throw out four NTD causes
chromosomal stuff
DIABEETUS!!!!!
teratogens (epilepsy or acne meds)
top NTD prevention tool
folic acid!
tools for prenatoal diagnosis
US (esp to see anencephaly)
protein levels of S 100 and AFP
when can high folate be bad?
if you have b12 deficiency, high folate will mask hematologic disease and worse neuro symptoms
give three examples of infections agents that are teratogens for neural dev
rubella: eye and ear defects
cytomegalovirus: eye defect, microcephaly
toxoplasmosis: hydrocephalus!!!!
cyto: ppl may not know they have it
toxo: stay away from cats!
