Term
morphogenesis
Definition
development of body form
Term
3 germ layers
Definition
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
Term
embryonic ectoderm
Definition
--> epidermis, CNS, PNS, retina, etc.
Term
embryonic mesoderm
Definition
---> smooth muscle, connective tissue (blood, bone, bone marrow, striated muscle), vessels, CV system, reproductive system, excretory organs
Term
embryonic endoderm
Definition
---> epthelial linings of GI/respiratory tracts, glandular cells (liver, pancreas, GI tract)
Term
primitive streak
Definition
thickened linear band of epiblast arising early 3rd week; appears caudally, develops caudally, then rostrally; forms mesoderm and endoderm layers
Term
primitive node
Definition
proliferation of epiblastic cells at the cranial end; contains primitive pit
Term
primitive groove
Definition
narrow groove that forms in primitive streak resulting from invagination of epiblastic cells
Term
mesenchyme
Definition
develops after appearance of primitive streak; epiblastic cells of deep surface that migrate; tissue consists of loosely arranged cells in gelatinous matrix
Term
mesenchymal cells
Definition
ameboid, actively phagocytic cells forming mesenchyme; proliferate and differentiate widely
Term
mesoblast
Definition
forms from some mesenchymal cells; undifferentiated mesoderm, also embryonic mesoderm
Term
embryonic endoderm
Definition
germ layer in the roof of yolk sac formed from epiblastic cells that displace hypoblastic cells
Term
embryonic ectoderm
Definition
cells remaining in epiblast after differentiation of 2 other germ cell layers
Term
notochordal process
Definition
median cellular cord of mesenchymal cells migrating cranially ---> notochordal canal
Term
notochordal canal
Definition
notochordal process + lumen; grows cranially between endoderm/ectoderm until prechordal plate
Term
oropharyngeal membrane
Definition
fate of prechordal plate; future site of oral cavity
Term
cardiogenic area
Definition
mesenchymal cells migrate around the prechordal plate and meet to form cardiogenic mesoderm; forms heart primordium late 3rd week
Term
cloacal membrane
Definition
caudal to primitive streak; future sitw of anus
Term
notochord
Definition
cellular rod developing from transformation of notochordal process; defines axis, basis for axial skeletal development, primary inducer of neuroectoderm, lends rigidity in absence of spinal cord
Term
neural plate
Definition
thickening embryonic ectoderm induced by notochord to form neuroectoderm; primordium of CNS
Term
allantois
Definition
outpouching of yolk sac extending into connecting stalk w/ respiratory, urine storage functions, later assoc. w/ urinary bladder
Term
neurulation
Definition
formation of neural tube; completed 4th week
Term
neuropore
Definition
openings at rostral and caudal ends of fusing neural tube; close by end of 4th week (hopefully)
Term
neural groove
Definition
invagination of the neural plate along the longitudinal median
Term
neural folds
Definition
raised areas of neural plate bilateral to neural groove; first signs of brain development
Term
neural tube
Definition
tube developed as neural folds fuse together
Term
neural crest cells
Definition
neuroectodermal cells at folds that lose epithelial affinities and migrate dorsolaterally to neural tube; form neural crests
Term
neural crest
Definition
flattened irregular mass of neural crest cells; give rise to sensory ganglia, ANS ganglia, meninges, pigment cells, etc.
Term
neural tube defects
Definition
congenital abnormalities may arise from incomplete fusion of neural folds
Term
paraxial mesoderm
Definition
columns of embryonic mesoderm on each side of notochord; @ late 3rd week differentiates into somites
Term
somites
Definition
blocks of mesoderm on each side of developing neural tube; develop craniocaudally, give rise to most of axial skeleton + assoc muscles + adj. dermis
Term
intraembryonic coelom
Definition
= embryonic body cavity; later divided into pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal cavities
Term
somatic mesoderm
Definition
form embryonic body wall
Term
splanchnic mesoderm
Definition
forms embryonic gut or splanchnopleure
Term
vasculogenesis and angiogenesis
Definition
development of blood vessel
Term
angioblasts
Definition
mesenchymal cells that differentiate into vessel-forming cells; aggregate to form blood islands
Term
blood islands
Definition
isolated angiogenic cell clusters
Term
hemangioblasts
Definition
endothelial cells of early vessels on allantois and yolk sac that form blood cells
Term
endocardial heart tubes
Definition
paired longitudinal endothelial-lined channels that have fused to form primordial heart tube; 3rd week
Term
1st organ system to reach function state?
Definition
cardiovascular system; 5th week
Term
secondary chorionic villi
Definition
protrusions of syncytio- and cytotrophoblastic cells that now contain mesenchyme
Term
tertiary chorionic villi
Definition
protrusions of syncytio- and cytotrophoblast containing mesenchyme and capillaries; connects embryonic cardiovascular system w/ maternal
Term
cytotrophoblasstic shell
Definition
cytotrophoblastic cells that have proliferated through syncytiotrophoblast to surround chorionic sac; anchors to endometrium
Term
gastrulation
Definition
bilaminar---> trilaminar
