Study Notes
Embryogenesis
- The process of developing a fetus from a single cell.
- The forming of tissues and organs from the three embryonic origins.
- The embryonic origins are the three tissue layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
- The embryonic origins give rise to all tissues of the human body.
- The derivatives are the structures formed from the embryonic origins.
3 Key Phases of Embryogenesis and Development
- Fertilization
- Cleavage
- Proliferation
- Migration
- Differentiation
Early Embryogenesis Weeks 1-4
- Blastocyst: A cluster of cells within a cavity known as the blastocoel.
- Trophoblast: Cells lining the cavity of the blastocyst
- Primary yolk sac: Fluid-filled space within the blastocyst
Early Embryogenesis: Week 1
- Zygote (2-cells), 4-cell, 8-cell
- Morula: 16 cells,
- Blastocyst: 70-100 cells
Early Embryogenesis: Week 2-3
- Embryoblast:
- Develops into the bilaminar embryonic disc.
- Forms two layered embryonic disc.
- Ectoderm and endoderm
- Bilaminar disc forms into the trilaminar embryonic disc.
- Forms a third layer of tissue known as the mesoderm
- The three embryonic tissue layers form the embryonic origins for all tissues and organs of the body.
Early Embryogenesis: Week 3-4
- Ectoderm:
- Forms the neuroectoderm
- Neuroectoderm:
- Forms the neural crest cells
- Forms the neural plate
- Forms the neural tube
- Neural crest cells:
- Are important for development of the head, face, and oral cavity.
- Migrate throughout the embryo.
- Neural tube:
- Forms into the central nervous system
- Somites:
- Develop from the mesoderm.
- Form structures of the trunk and limbs.
Early Embryogenesis: Neural Crest Cells Derivatives
- Oral epithelial cells
- Neuroectoderm
- Cranial and sensory ganglia
- Peripheral nervous system and nerves
- Ectomesenchyme
- Stem cells
- Connective tissue in the rest of the body
- Connective tissue in the head, face, and oral cavity
- Dentine, pulp, and cementum
Early Embryogenesis: Week 4
- The embryo gains shape through folds.
- Stomodeum: The primitive mouth.
- Bucco-pharyngeal membrane: A membrane that separates the stomodeum and primitive gut.
- Primitive gut:
- Develops from the endoderm.
- The bucco-pharyngeal membrane ruptures, allowing communication between the primitive mouth and gut.
Early Embryogenesis: Week 4
- Pharyngeal arches: Buldges on the embryo that form the building blocks for facial and oral structures.
- Each arch has its own:
- Nerve supply
- Blood supply
- Cartilage
Pharyngeal Arches and Derivatives
-
Arch 1 (Mandibular Arch):
- Nerve: Trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V)
- Blood vessel: 1st aortic arch
- Muscles: Muscles of mastication
- Cartilage - Meckel's cartilage
- Bones: Mandible, maxilla, zygomatic bones, the squamous portion of the temporal bone, malleus, and incus of the middle ear
-
Arch 2 (Hyoid Arch):
- Nerve: Facial nerve (cranial nerve VII)
- Blood vessel: 2nd aortic arch
- Muscles: Muscles of facial expression
- Cartilage: Reichert’s cartilage
- Bones: Part of the hyoid bone, styloid process, and the stapes
-
Arch 3 (III):
- Nerve: Glossopharyngeal Nerve (IX)
- Blood vessel: 3rd aortic arch
- Muscles: Stylopharyngeus muscle
- Cartilage: None
- Bones: Part of the hyoid bone, connective tissue of the thymus, and inferior parathyroid.
-
Arch 4 (IV):
- Nerve: Superior laryngeal nerve
- Blood vessel: 4th aortic arch
- Muscles: Laryngeal muscles
- Cartilage: None
- Bones: None
