The bilaminary embryo consists of what layers?
Outer circular formation of trophoblasts with an inner cell mass of epiblasts at one end.
The inner cell mass becomes ???? and forms the ???
flattened
embryonic disc
The embryonic disc is formed when?
10 - 12 days post gestation.
The ICM eventually only has ???? layers
2 layers
The ICM pushes out epiblasts and forms ??? within the ???.
1 cell layer thick lining
trophoblast ring
Gastrulation is the process where the ?????? is converted to a ???????
bilaminar embryonic disc
trilaminar embryonic disc.
What happens (generally) during gastrulation
the epiblast cells from the surface of the bilaminar embryonic disc migrate into the interior to form primitive germ layers
`The 3 primitive germ layers are the
ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm
Ectoderm
the most exterior germ layer
forms skin, brain, nervous system and other external tissues
Endoderm
the most internal germ layer forming the lining of the gut and other intenral organs
Besides forming 3 germ layers, gastrulation also forms the?
primitive streak and notochord.
The function of the primitive streak is?
to establish the longitudinal or craniocaudal axis of the embryo.
The epiblast cells that migrate through the cranial end of the primitive streak ____
migrate cranially and stay on the midline of the embryonic disk, forming the notochordal process
The ?? and ?? of the embryo form via ???? through the ?????
mesoderm
endoderm
gastrulation
primitive streak
The notochord is _____
a dense rod of cells and the notochord forms the midline axis of all chordates and is basis of axial skeleton
Mesoderm can also be called
intraembryonic mesoderm (inside body), or extraembryonic mesoderm (assoc with extraembryonic membranes)
Intraembryonic mesoderm can be classified 2 ways:
splanchnic
somatic
splanchnic mesoderm is ___
associated with the viscera and developing GI tract
Somatic mesoderm is _____-
associated with the body wall of the developing embryo
Endoderm cal also be classified as:
intraembryonic endoderm (inside body
extraembryonic endoderm ( with extraembryonic membrane)
monotocous
animals that usually have single births
polytocous
animals that usually have many births
A freemartin is
a sterile, intersex or pseudohermaphrodite femal born twin to a normal male
The six principles of development
Cell proliferation, induction, differentiation, migration, cell growth, cell death= programmed cell death or apoptosis
Cell proliferation is ____
cells undergoing mitosis in order to increase the number of cells
Induction is ____
the process by which one group of cells stimulates differentiation of an adjuacent group of cells. Signals between cells
Inductive is the causal relationship that
exists between 2 events such that the presence and action of one tissue is necessary for development of 2nd tissue
Inductive interactions are usually not a
single event, but is a series of events
Differentiation
process that gives a cell or group of cells a unique and stable phenotype
Phenotype
physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism based on genes and environment
Migration
process by which cells move from one area to fht embryonic body to a different area of the embryonic body
Cell growth
increase in cell number (proliferation) or cell size
Cell death
cells are removed in a precisely regulated manner and cell death is under genetic contro.
Morphogenesis
any change in the shape or location of a cell or tissue ie gastrulation
Patterning
establishment of programmed subsets of cells in proper relatioship to each other and surrounding cells and tissues
Tissue interactions
signaling that typically occur between adjacent tissues
Epigenetics
study of heritable changes in gene function that occur without a change in the sequence of the DNA ie methylation, and chromatin remodeling
In embryonic development, epigenetics refers to
X chromosome inactivation
Epigenetically marked genes refer to genes that
have one copy turned off and only one is functional.
Euploid
exact multiples of n
Genomic imprinting can occur with
DNA methylation (covalent), DNA protein and DNA/RNA interactions (non-covalent) and genomic localization in nuclear space
Genomic imprinting is dependent on
whether it resided in a male or female in the previous generation.
Imprinted expression can vary
between tissues, developmental stages, and species,.
Genomic imprinting is a form of
epigenic processing of genetic material
The 4 extraembryonic membranes are:
amnion
yolk sac
allantois
chorion
Amniotes
any vertebrate of the group Amniota:reptiles, birds, mammals;have extra embryonic membrane called amnion
Yolk sac
first extraembryonic membrane to form
The yolk sac forms from
endoderm that is continous with the primitive embryonic gut
As mesoderm becomes associated with endoderm of the yolk sac it is called
splanchnic mesoderm
splanchnopleure
the complete wall of the yolk sac (mesoderm closely associated with endoderm)
The yolk sac is considered to be an extension of the
GI tract
The yolk stalk is the
connection that develps between the embryonic midgut and the yolk sac
Amnion is a
membrane that surround the embryo and separates the embyro from immediate contact with the enviroment
The amnion is continuous with the
ectoderm on the surface of the embryo
The amnion eventually forms the
outer layer of the umbilical cord
The amnion is considered to be a ??? because it is formed from????
somatopleure
ectoderm plus somatic mesoderm
Amniotic cavity is the ??? and contains ???
space between the embryo and the amnion
amniotic fluid.
Amniotic fluid functions to
keep the embryo moist
protect it from desiccation,
protect and cushion the embryo from physical environmental forces
The amniotic fluid also prevents
adhesion of the embryo/fetus to the embryonic membranes
Chorion forms ???? and consists of
Forms outside the amnion
consists of somatopleure (ectoderm + somatic mesoderm)
During early development the chorion is
contiuous with the amnion at the chorioamniotic folds
Extraembryonic coelom
a space between the chorion and the amnion lined by mesoderm.
The extraembryonic coelom may be continous with
the body cavity or coelom of the embryonic body
intraembryonic coelom
The body cavity or coelom of the embryonic body
Allantois
extraembryonic membrane the begins as an extension of the hindgut
The allantois is composed of
endoderm with a closely applied layer of splanchnic mesoderm
splachnopleure
Endoderm with closely associated splanchnic mesoderm
