Question | Answer |
---|---|
4 characteristics of first week of development | Fertilization, Cleavage, Implantation, Blastocyst |
1st FCIB | first week: fertilization, cleavage, implantation, blastocyst |
Second week of development- reorganization of the __________ into a ___________embryonic germ disk. | blastocyst, bilaminar (2-layered) |
2 layers of bilaminar embryonic germ disk of 2 week (2 week; 2 layer) | HYPOblast, EPIblast |
Third week first step | primitive streak formation |
In the third week, the primitive streak forms and the epiblast cells proliferate into the ___________ area (of the bilaminar disk). What is this migration of epiblast cells moving south? | hypoblast (invaded) by epiblast - called DISPLACEMENT |
The newly arrived epiblast cells which displaced the hypoblast form the ____________. | endoderm |
The epiblast cells move/displace down into the hypoblast cells, causing the formation of Endoderm. The third step is the proliferation of epiblast cells into the space between the epiblast and endoderm. These cells form the ____________- | Mesoderm (middle) |
The endoderm forms from epiblast cells descending into hypoblast and displacing them (inner). Mesoderm cells form from epiblast moving into space between epiblast and endoderm (Middle). Where does Ectoderm come from? | Remaining epiblast! |
4 stages of GASTRULATION: | 1-primitive streak, 2-epiblast descends into hypoblast, displaces, forms ENdoderm, 3-epiblast cells move between endoderm and epiblast itself, form MEsoderm, 4-remaining epiblast cells form eCTOderm |
primitive streak, epiblast forming endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm are stages of | Gastrulation (3rd week) |
What are stages of gastrulation and what week? | 3rd, primitive streak, epiblast forms endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm |
synonym for prechordal plate | neural plate |
How does the notochordal process and prechordal plate form? | Newly formed MESOderm (middle) cells migrate through the primitive streak like a highway, knot up and condense along midline to form notochordal process and prechordal plate. |
Where does the notochordal process and prechordal plate come from? | mesodermal cells migrate along primitive streak, knot up/condense along midline to form the notochordal process and prechordal plate. |
Is the notochordal process the same thing as the Notochord? | No, the n. process forms the Notochord |
Where is the Notochord? | In the mesoderm - it is going to entrain the overlying ectoderm to develop into different things |
What forms the Notochord? | the notochordal process |
What forms the Neural plate? | the prechordal plate |
When the mesoderm forms the notochordal process and prechordal plate, the two eventually approximate each other. What happens? | inductive changes occur that trigger the formation of the neural plate in the ectoderm overlying the notochord |
The notochordal process (mesoderm) becomes the | notochord |
The notochord stimulates the conversion of overlying __________ into neural tissue (going from prechordal plate to neural plate) | ectoderm |
The notochord entrains (influences the prechordal plate of ectoderm) to become | Neural plate (neural tissue) |
The notochord specifies the fate of certain cells within the nervous system (entrainment/induction) but very importantly instigates the development of ___________- | SOMITES! |
what instigates the development of somites? | Notochord (old epiblast-mesoderm-nochordal process) |
Induction of the ectoderm overlying the notochord produces the | neural plate |
what does the neural plate do? | gives rise to most of the CNS |
what gives rise to most of the CNS? | Neural plate (old epiblast-prechordal plate) |
The neural plate is made of ectoderm overlying the notochord and used to be called the prechordal plate. Now it needs to form into a tube. How does the neural plate form a neural tube? What is process called/ | Neurulation: invagination of neural plate (still under influence of notochord) |
why does it make sense that the neural plate of ectoderm would be the most sensible choice to form the CNS and not the notochord? | notochord is busy forming middle structures (dermatomes, myotomes, scerotomes) while neural plate is most dorsal, like the coming spinal cord and brain - so it forms the CNS, not the container for it! |

******first type of mesoderm present in limb bud | LATERAL PLATE MESODERM |
similar to how the notochord is made from mesoderm and induces the overlying ectoderm to form the neural plate but does not, itself, become the spinal cord, the core plate of lateral mesoderm is surrounded by _____________ and will induce it to become? | ectoderm, Apical Ectodermal Ridge |
Once the Apical Ectodermal Ridge has been formed via induction of underlying lateral plate mesoderm, limb bud formation will henceforth be controlled by the | Apical Ectodermal Ridge (AER) |

Once the AER is induced into being by the underlying lateral plate mesoderm, roles reverse and the AER begins to induce the underlying mesoderm to | increase mitosis and grow the limb bud! |

the process of cell death to form the digits is called ___________ and occurs as the ______ degenerates. | apoptosis (programmed cell death), AER |
Apical Ectodermal Ridge dysfunctions result in | dysmorphologies (wrong growth) |
failure of programmed cell death (apoptosis) causes | syndactyly (webbing/together digits) |

lack or incomplete formation of the AER by the ectoderm upon induction by lateral plate mesoderm | Amelia (no limbs) |
Amelia | no limbs (failure of AER to fully develop and therefore fully function) |
are combination AER dysmorphologies possible? | yes |
teratogens | dangers to fetus |
when are teratogens dangerous to the fetus and why? | after first two weeks, blood of mother and fetus mixes and CNS develops (ectoderm) so anything she does, the baby does (alcohol, pills, etc.) |

If mother exposes herself to teratogens in first two weeks (fertilization through blastulation, no gastrulation), what happens? | spontaneous abortion if problem develops in first two weeks |
what week is the embryo considered a "fetus" | week 9 |
how does the limb bud grow? | lateral plate mesoderm inducts AER, then AER inducts mesoderm, then AER directs overall shape and schedule of future limb |
differential growth affects fetus how? | dorsal half grows faster than ventral, thus the inward "fetus" rotation/curling of limbs causing them to occupy a position along the ventral body wall |
What does not have to migrate into the limb bud because it is already there? | Lateral plate mesoderm -gives rise to connective tissue, bones and some blood vessels |

why would it make sense for brachioradialis to have spinal level C6? | because it is a forearm FLEXOR (flexors are 6) |
where does extensor carpi radialis longus attach? | base of 2nd metacarpal |
origin ECRlongus | lower 1/3 of lateral supracondylar ridge (with brachioradialis;-) |
why are ECRlongus and ECRbrevis thusly named? | ECRLongus starts from up higher, on the lower 1/3 of the supracondylar ridge of humerus, wherears ECRbrevis begins on the lateral epicondyle of humerus (lower than s.c. ridge) |

ECRLongus spinal level | 6,7 |

Which muscle would extend the index finger if it could, but doesn't go far enough, stopping short at base of 2nd metacarpal? | Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus |
name all the muscles of the posterior cord: | Axillary: teres minor and deltoid - Radial: lateral, medial, long heads of triceps/anconeus/brachioradialis/ECRLongus/ECRbrevis/supinator/Extensor Digitorum/EDMini/ECUlnaris/AbPlongus/EPbrevis/EPLongus/Extensor Indicis |
why is ECRbrevis only spinal level 7 and not 6/7 like ECRLongus? | 7 is extension and ECRbrevis stops on the base of 3rd metacarpal, way to far towards the middle of wrist to be involved in radial deviation (lateral flexion) of wrist like ECRLongus which has levels 6/7 for abduction and fixing wrist in extension |

innervation of AbPLongus? | PIN from the Radial |
why does it make sense for AbPLongus to be innervated by the PIN of radial n? | because most of the posterior forearm is! |
