What is the epiblast? When does it develop?
The epiblast (precursor to ectoderm) invaginates to form primitive streak. Cells from the primitive streak grive rise to both intraembryonic mesoderm and part of the endoderm.

2 weeks
What is the neural tube finished forming?
closes by week 4
What is derived from the surface ectoderm?
Rathke's Pouch --> Adenohyphysis --> Anterior Pituitary

glands
lining of cavities
What is derived from the neuroectoderm?
Brain (CNS, oligiodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, pineal gland)
neurohypophysis
What is derived from the neural crest?
ANS
dorsal root ganglia
cranial nerves
celiac ganglion
melanocytes
chromaffin cells
parafollicular cells
Schwann cells
pia and arachnoid
bones of skun
odontoblast
AP SEPTUM
What is derived frrom the endoderm?
gut tube epithelium and derivs (lungs, luver, pancreas, thymus, parathyroid, thyroid follicular cells)
What is derived from the mesoderm?
muscle
bone
spleen (derived from foregut)
serous linings
CV
lymphatics
blood
bladder
urethra
vagina
kidneys
adrenal cortex
dermis
testes, ovaries
What is the notochord?
induces ectoderm to form neuroectoderm (neural plate). Its postnatal deriv is the nucleus pupolsus
Teratogenicity of ACE inhibitors?
renal damage
Teratogenicity of cocaine?
cardiovasospasm (abnormal fetal development and fetal addiction; placental abruption)
Teratogenicity of Lithium?
Ebstein's anomaly (atrialized right ventricle)
Teratogenicity of materal diabetes?
caudal regression syndrome

(anal atresia to sirenomelia)
transient hypoglycemia
Teratogenicity of smoking?
preterm labor
plancental abruption
Teratogenicity of valproate?
inhibition of intenstinal folate aborption

(NEED MUCH MUCH MOAR)
Teratogenicity of vit A?
extremely high risk for spontaneous abortions and birth defects (cleft palate, cardiac abnormalities)
Teratogenicity of warfarin?
bone deformities, fetal hemorrhage
What is the clinical implication of the absence of the decidua basalis?
maternal component of the placenta --> placenta accreta
What are the fetal components of the placenta? What are their functions?
Cytotrophoblast -- inner layer of chorionic villi (cyto makes cells)

syncytiotrophoblast -- outer later; secretes hCG
Describe the circulation of umbilical cord?
umbilical arteries (2) -- return deox blood from fetal internal iliac ateries to placenta

umbilical vein (1) -- supplies oxygenated blood from placenta to fetus; drains into IVS
Why is fetal blood stupid and selfish?
gamma chains have higher affinity for 2.3 DPG, so they have a higher affinity for O2.
What happens to fetal circulation at birth?
At birth, infant takes its first breath; decreased resistance in pulmonary vasculature cayses increased left atrial pressure vs. right atrial pressure; foramen ovale closes. Increase in O2 leads to decrease in prostaglandins, causing closure of ductus arteriosis
What genetic abnormaltiy is commonly a/w endocardial cushion defects?
Down's
What is Eisenmenger's syndrome?
Uncorrected VSD, ASD, or PDA causes compensatory vascular hypertrophy, which results in progressive pulmonary hypertension. As pulmonary resistance increases, the shunt reverses from L-->R to R--> L, which cause late cyantosis (clubbing and polycythemia)
What cardiac defect is associated with 22q11 syndromes?
truncus arteriosis
tetraology of fallor
What cardiac defect is a/w Down's syndrome?
ASD
VSD
AV septal defect (endocardial cushion defect)
What cardiac defect is a/w congenital rubella?
septal defects
PDA
pulmonary artery stenosis
What cardiac defect is a/w Turner's syndrome?
coarctation of the aorta (preductal)
What cardiac defect is a/w Marfan's syndrome?
aortic insufficiency (late complication)
aortic dissection, cystic medial necrosis
What cardiac defect is a/w materal diabetes?
transposition of great vessels
What is aencephaly?
malformation of anterior end of neural tube; no brain/calvarium, elevated AFP --> polyhydraminos (no swallowing center in brain)
What is holoproceprosencephaly?
decreased separation of hemispeheres across midline; results in cyclopia; a/w Patau's syndrome, severe fetal alcohol synfrome, and cleft lip/palate

also SHH
What is the branchial apparatus? What is it composed of? What are they derived from?
Also called pharyngeal apparatus. Composed of brachial clefts, arches, and pouches.

clefts -- ectoderm
arches -- mesoderm and neural crest
pouches -- endoderm
What are the derivatoives of the 1st branchial pouch?
middle ear cavity
eustachian tube
mastoid air cell

contributes to endoderm-lined structures of ear
What are the derivatives of the 2nd branchial pouch?`
epithelial lining of palantine tonsil
What are the derivatorives of the 3rd brnachial pouch (dorsal wings)?
Inferior parathyoids

3rd oiych contributes to 3 structures (thymus, left and right inferior parathyroids); 3rd pouch structure end up BELOW 4th pouch
What are the derivatives of the 3rd branchal pouch (ventral wings)?`
superior parathyroids
Describe the development of the thyroid.
Thyroid diverticulum arises from floor of primitive pharynx, descends into neck. Connected to ongue by thyroglossal duct, which normally disappears but may persist as pyramidal lobe of thyroid. Foramen cecum is normal remnent of thyoglossal duct. Most common ectopic thyriud tissue site is the tongue.
What is a thyroglossal ducts cuts?
in midline neck and will move with swallowing (vs. persistent cervical sinus leading to branchial cleft cyst in lateral neck)
What is cleft lip and palate?
lip -- failure of fusion of maxillary and medial nasal processes

palate -- failure of fusion of the lateral palantine processes, the nasal septum, and/or the median palatine process (formation of 2ndary palate)
What cranial nerve innervates the taste of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue?
facial
What cranial nerve innervates the taste and sensation in the posterior 1/3?
glossopharyngeal
