when does gastrulation start to happen?
|
in 3rd week - by the end of the 2nd week, blastocyst is completely embedded.
|
|
how does gastrulation begins?
|
it begins with the formation of primitive streak on the caudal surface of epiblast of embryonic disc.
|
|
what are the type of cells of the bilaminar germ disc?
|
epiblast: columnar cells.
hypoblast: cuboidal cells. |
|
how's the mesodermal layer formed?
|
the cells from hypoblast proliferate and lies between the germ layers known as the mesodermal layer - nw the inner cell mass became trilaminar germ disc.
|
|
how does the primitive node (PN), primitive pit (PP)formed?
|
-epiblast migrate & differentiate in the cranial end of primitive streak to form PN.
-in PN, cells proliferate forming PP. -cells from deep surface of primitive streak leave & form Intra Embryonic mesenchyme until 4th week. |
|
how does the notochordal process develop?
|
-some mesenchyma cells migrate cranially from PN and PP.
-form median cellular cord (notochordal process -NP) -soon a notochordal canal develops. -NP grows cranially between ecto n endo. -until it reach prochordal plate, prolongation stopped. |
|
what is notochord?
|
-the notochord is a cellular rod that develops by transformaion of the NP.
-it defines the primordial axis of embryo and rigidity. |
|
does the notochord helps for development of axial skeleton? how?
|
-yes.
-later the notochord becomes flattened and forms notochordal plate. -it become the future site of vertebral bodies. -remnants of the notochord is the nucleus pulposis of intervertebral discs. |
|
how does neural tube (NT) forms?
|
-neurulation.
-thickening of embryonic ectoderm cranial to primitive node. -become neural groove and neural folds. -fusion of neural folds: NT. -separate from the surface ectoderm. -NT is the primordium of (give rise to) CNS. |
|
how does central canal connect with the amniotic cavity?
|
thru anterior and posterior pores.
|
|
what happen to anterior and pore during 4th week?
|
anterior pore closes n become lamina terminalis.
|
|
what happen if anterior and posterior pore fail to close in 4th week?
|
anterior pore failure: anencephaly.
posterior pore failure: spina bifida. |
