| Question | Answer |
| What is gastrulaiton? | Process by which three germ layers are established |
| What are the 3 germ layers? | Ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm |
| What is the bilaminar layer? | Hypoblast and epiblast |
| What does the bilaminar embryonic disc turn into? | Trilaminar embryonic disc |
| What is the embryo referred to as during gastrulation? | Gastrula |
| What is occuring at the beginning of the 3rd week? | Formation of primitive streak |
| What is the primitive streak | Thickened linear band in the median plane of the dorsal aspect of the embryonic disc |
| How is the primitive streak formed? | Results from proliferation and movement of cells of epiblast to the median plane of the embryonic disc |
| What happens to the cranial end of the primitive streak? | Proliferates to form a primitive node |
| What happens to the primitive streak? | End proliferates to form a primitive node, narrow groove (primitive groove) develops in primitive streak that is continuous with a small depression in the primitive node - primitive pit |
| How is the mesoderm formed? | Cells leave deep surface of streak and start to move between epiblast and hypoblast - forming mesenchyme which forms mesoblast which forms the embryonic mesoderm |
| What is mesenchyme? | Embryonic CT which forms supporting tissues of the embryo such as CT |
| What is mesoblast? | Undifferentiated mesoderm |
| What does the mesoblast have the potential to form? | Muscles, vessels, and CT |
| What is the mesoderm derived from? | Epiblast |
| How is the endoderm formed? | Cells from epiblast, as well as from primitive node and other parts of primitive streak, displace hypoblast, forming embryonic endoderm in roof of umbilical vesicle |
| How is the ectoderm formed? | Cells remaining in epiblast form embryonic ectoderm |
| What are all 3 germ layers derived from? | Epiblast |
| What can mesenchymal cells derived from primitive streak differentiate to? | They are pluripotential cells that can differentiate into diverse types of cells - fibroblast, chondroblast, osteoblast |
| What eventually happens to the primitive streak? | Diminishes in relative size and becomes an insignificant structure in the sacrococcygeal region |
| When does the primitive streak disappear? | By end of 4th week |

| What happens to the floor of the notochordal process? | Fuses with underlying embryonic endoderm |
| What happens after the layers of the notochordal process have fused | Degenerate, resulting in formation of openings in the floor of the notochordal process - |
| What do the openings in the floor of the notochordal process allow? | Allows communication with umbilical vesicle |
| Do the openings in the floor of the notochordal process remain? | No, become confluent and floor of notochordal canal disappears |
| What happens after the floor of the notochordal canal disappears? | Remains of the notochordal process form a flattened grooved notochordal plate |
| How is the notochord formed? | Beginning at the cranial end of embryo, notochordal cells proliferate and notochordal plate infolds to form notochord |
| What happens to the notochord after it is formed? | Becomes detached from endoderm of the umbilical vesicle, which again becomes a continuous layer |
| What is the function of the notochord in the beginning of embryo? | Primary inductor (signaling center) |
| What happens to the notochord later in embryo? | Developing notochord induces overlying embryonic ectoderm to thicken and form neural plate |
| What is the primordium of the CNS? | Neural plate |
| What is the functio of the prechordal plate? | Will become oropharyngeal membrane, prevents further notochord growth, signaling center for controlling development cranial structures |
| How is the cardiogenic mesoderm formed? | Mesenchymal cells from primitive streak that migrate around prechordal plate to form |
| What is the premordium of the heart? | Cardiogenic mesoderm |
| How is the cloacal membrane formed? | Forms caudally to primitive streak |
| What is the future site of the anus? | Cloacal membrane |
| What is the alantois | Small, vascularized diverticulum from the caudal wall of umbilical vesicle, extending into connecting stalk |
| What is the function of alantois? | Early blood formation and bladder development - blood vessels become umbilical arteries. Small portion persists as urachus that extends from bladder to umbilical region - becomes umbilical ligaments in adults |
| What does the ectoderm of the neural plate give rise to? | CNS and retina |
| What does the neural plate correspond to at first? | Corresponds in length to underlying notochord (rostral to primitive node) |
| What happens to the neural plate as the notochord elongates? | Neural plate broadens and extends cranially as far as the oropharyngeal membrane |
| What happens on day 18 to the neural plate? | Invaginates along its central axis to form a longitudinal median neural fold and then neural groove |
| What is happening at the end of the 3rd week to the neural plate? | The neural folds move together and fuse, converting the neural plate into the neural tube |
| What is the primordium of the CNS? | Neural tube |
| What are neural crest cells? | Subset of neuroectoderm cells that lose affinity to epithelium and neighboring cells |
