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
