    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.
