What are the 3 stages of human development and how long do each last?
|
1. Preembryonic- from conception to 2 weeks
2. Embryonic- 2nd -end of 8th week 3. Fetal- end of 8th week until birth |
|
What 2 layers does the blastocyst turn into and during what period does this occur in?
|
outer layer and inner cell mass
|
|
During implantation what does the inner cell mass develop into it? and how many layers does it have?
|
inner cell mass develops into the embryonic disc. it has two layers the ectoderm and endoderm. the mesoderm soon after forms between layers.
|
|
At what stage are organs formed?
|
during the embryonic
|
|
What happens to the ectoderm during the embryonic period?
|
becomes sensory organs, epidermis, and nervous system
|
|
What happens to the endoderm during the embryonic period
|
becomes the gut, liver, pancreas, respiratory system
|
|
What happens to the mesoderm during the embryonic period?
|
becomes the dermis, muscles, skeleton and excretory and circulatory functions
|
|
What happens during the fetal period?
|
myelination occurs
|
|
What is the neural plate, what does it turn into, and at what time period does it do this?
|
the neural plate is a longitudinal thickening of the ectoderm. from days 18-26 the edges of the tube fold to form a neural groove. usually around day 21 the tube is formed when the folds finally touch
|
|
What is a neuropore?
|
the open ends of the neural tube
|
|
Which end of the neural tube closes first cervical or caudal?
|
cervical
|
|
cells next to the neurotube separate to form what? and what do they do?
|
neural crest cells. they are cells that give rise to melanocytes, craniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle, peripheral and enteric neurons and glia
|
|
at what days does the superior neuropore close and the inferior close?
|
the superior around day 27 and the inferior around day 30
|
|
On day 26 the tube differentiates into two concentric rings what are they?
|
Inner ring or mantle layer
Outer ring or marginal layer |
|
What does the inner ring or mantle layer develop into?
|
gray matter
|
|
What does the outer ring or marginal layer develop into?
|
white matter axons and glial cells
|
|
Where does the somite come from?
|
the mesoderm that is adjacent to the neural tube
|
|
What does the somite differentiate into?
|
Dermatome, myotome and scleratome
|
|
What does the sclerotome develop into?
|
the vertebrae and the skull
|
|
The mantle layer further develops into what 2 sections?
|
Ventral and dorsal section
|
|
The ventral section of the mantle is know as what and becomes what?
|
it is known as the motor or basal plate, and axons from this region to innervate the myotome region
|
|
The dorsal section of the mantle is also know as what? and becomes what?
|
known as the association plate (alar plate) and becomes dorsal horn in mature spinal cord. this is also where interneurons are created
|
|
The hindbrain is also know as what?
|
rhombencephalon
|
|
the midbrain is also known as what?
|
mesencephalon
|
|
the forebrain is also known as what?
|
prosencephalon
|
|
What makes up the hindbrain (rhombencphalon)?
|
metencephlon (more superior and rostral)- pons, upper medulla, cerebellum, and 4th ventricles.
myelencephalon (more caudal portion)- lower medulla |
|
What makes up the midbrain (mesencephalon)?
|
midbrain and cerebral aqueduct
|
|
What makes up the forebrain (prosencephalon)?
|
Diencephalon (posterior portion of forebrain)
Telencephalon (anterior portion of forebrain) |
|
What does the diencephalon consist of?
|
thalmus, hypothalmus, subthalmus, and epithalmus
|
|
What does the telencephalon consist of?
|
cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, lateral ventricles.
|
|
What is the arnold chiari malformation?
|
it is a condition in which the cerebellum portion of the brain protrudes down into the spinal canal. It may be congenital, associated with other abnormalities including myelomeningocele, syringomyelia, spina bifida
|
|
what is syringomyelia and what is it associated with?
|
they are cysts of fluid within the spinal cord and is associated with arnold chiari
|
|
What is spina bifida?
|
it is a neural tube defect involving incomplete development of the brain, spinal cord, and or their protective coverings
|
|
What are the 3 most common types of spina bifida?
|
myelomeningocele- most severe
meningocele occulta- most mild |
|
What is cranioschisis?
|
failure of proper fusion of the cephalic part of the neural tube which leaves the brain and cranium open. the most extreme case results in anencephaly
|
|
What holoprosencephaly?
|
the failure of the prosencephalon to divide normally into 2 cerebral hemispheres (telencephalon) and may result in cyclopia
|
|
What are the interventions used to treat spina bifida?
|
surgery within 72 hrs and then a shunt to help with hydrocephalus and CSF flow
|
|
when does myelination start and finish
|
begins in 4th fetal month and are completed by the end of the third year of life
