Embryology |
the study of prenatal development (from fertilization of an egg to birth)

What week does the placenta form?
|
2nd week

|
What is the placenta formed from?
|
the trophoblast layer and the endometrial lining
|
|
Mesenchyme cells are formed from...?
|
epiblast cells that have migrated towards the primitive streak
|
|
What do mesenchymal cells give rise to?
|
connective tissue forming cells: fibroblasts, chondroblasts, osteoblast, etc
|
|
What makes up the trilaminar disc?
|
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
|

From what layer are each of the trilaminar disc layers formed?
|
Ectoderm - from epiblast, Mesoderm - from mesenchyme (from epiblast), endoderm - from hypoblast
|
|
What are somites?
|
38 paired cuboidal aggregates of mesenchymal cells that wil form the skeletal, muscle and dermis (connective tissues of the skin)
|
|
What is the epidermis and nervous system formed from?
|
ectoderm
|
|
What are the connective tissues, muscles and vessels formed from?
|
mesoderm
|
|
What is the epithelial lining of the GI tract and respiratory system formed from?
|
endoderm
|
|
What membrane is at the caudal end? And what embryonic tissue is not there?
|
cloacal membrane. Mesoderm is not present
|
|
What membrane is at the cephalic end? And what embryonic tissue is not there?
|
oropharyngeal membrane. Mesoderm is not present
|
|
What cells make up the neural plate?
|
neuroectoderm cells
|
|
What is the role of neural crest cells?
|
They break off from the neural folds and disperse into the mesenchyme. They will form parts of the face & neck structures & oral tissues
|
|
What do many embryologists consider to be the fourth embryonic layer?
|
Neural crest cells that have dispersed into the mesenchyme
|
|
What are the five major processes involved in the development of the face?
|
1. stomodeum/oral cavity 2. mandibular processes 3. maxillary processes 4.Frontonasal/upper face 5. Development of the neck
|
|
What type of fusion occurs on the same surface?
|
Facial fusion
|
|
What type of fusion occurs on different surfaces?
|
Palatal fusion
|
|
The union of the ectoderm and endoderm form what temporary membrane?
|
Buccopharyngeal/Oropharyngeal Membrane
|
|
What results from the rupture of the buccopharyngeal/oropharyngeal membrane?
|
an open GI tract
|
|
Raphe's pounch eventually forms what?
|
the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland
|
|
What does the mandibular arch give rise to?
|
1. lower face 2. mandible 3. ligaments of jaw and middle ear 4. muscles of mastication 5. tongue 6. maxillary processes
|
|
What is Meckel's cartilage and what does is form?
|
Cartilage formed within each side of the mandibular arch. If forms the middle ear bones
|
|
What is the Periochondrum of Meckel's cartilage?
|
It becomesligaments of the jaw and middle ear
|
|
What does the maxillary process give rise to?
|
sides of the upper lip, cheeks, secondary palate, posterior portion of the maxilla, maxillary canines and posterior teeth, zygomatic bones and portions of the temporal bones
|
|
What is macrostomia
|
cleft at the commissures (incomplete fusion) makes the mouth huge
|
|
What is the oronasal membrane?
|
it separates the nasal sac from the stomodeum. Once this disintegrates, the oral and nasal membranes are in communication
|
|
The intermaxillary segment/premaxilla is formed from...?
|
the medial nasal processes
|
|
What forms the upper lip?
|
the joining of the maxillary process and the 2 medial nasal processes
|
|
What is the nasolacrimal groove
|
it extends from the medial corner of the eye to the nasal cavity
|
|
What is the nasolacrimal cord?
