Study Notes
Objectives for Active Learning Session
- Evaluate effects and risks of teratogen exposure and congenital infections at various developmental stages.
- Determine which germ layers are involved in specific clinical cases.
- Infer possible anatomical impacts resulting from injury to particular germ layers.
- Differentiate types of twinning based on division timing and morphology.
- Apply previous knowledge to clinical scenarios.
Case Study - Pregnant Patient with Rubella
- A 30-year-old woman presents with headache, fever, and rash, confirmed positive for pregnancy and Rubella.
- High risk for developmental cardiac defects in the infant due to teratogenic effect of Rubella.
Case Study - 15-Year-Old Male with Facial Anomalies
- Patient exhibits reduced facial bone size and a recessed lower jaw, indicating potential Treacher Collins syndrome.
- Expected findings include hearing difficulties linked to neural crest cell migration issues since ear ossicles develop from these cells.
- Other options like hypocalcemia, malformed nails, and pegged teeth relate to different syndromes or germ layer issues.
Prenatal Check-up for Twin Pregnancy
- During a 10-week check-up, the mother displays respiratory issues and mild hearing problems.
- Chest radiograph may show congenital cysts due to poor drainage leading to pneumonia, especially common in childhood.
Primitive Streak and Gastrulation
- The primitive streak is crucial for organizing and giving rise to the three germ layers, with implications for teratoma development if abnormalities occur.
Breast Cancer Case - Lobular Carcinoma
- A 55-year-old female exhibits skin texture changes in the left breast and is diagnosed with lobular carcinoma.
- Impaired E-cadherin function allows tumor cells to escape surrounding tissues and metastasize via lymphatic pathways.
- Mechanisms of tumor behavior involve the transition from epithelial to mesenchymal types of cells, essential for spread and migration.
Additional Anatomical Insights
- The thorax and pharynx development occurs simultaneously with major organ formation, including the heart and lungs.
- Key structures include the gut tube, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and the cloacal connection.
