Flashcards
Primitive streak formation
Primitive streak formation
A thickened part of the epiblast, occurring around days 15-16, that initiates gastrulation.
Gastrulation
Gastrulation
Process forming the trilaminar embryonic disc. Epiblast cells migrate, becoming the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm.
Notochord formation
Notochord formation
A solid cord forming from epiblast migration, crucial for the development of the vertebral column.

Study Notes
Week 3 of Development
- Primitive Streak Formation: Occurs during days 15-16. This thickened area of the epiblast is crucial for further embryonic development.
- Gastrulation: A crucial process forming the trilaminar embryonic disc. The primitive streak is the starting point. Epiblast cells migrate through the primitive groove, differentiating into the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm layers.
- Notochord Formation: A solid cord formed from epiblast migration. The notochord guides the development of the vertebral column.
- Differentiation of Germ Layers: The three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm) specialize into various structures.
- Ectoderm: Forms the epidermis, nervous system (neurons, brain cells), and pigment cells..
- Mesoderm: Forms the dermis, skeletal muscles, ribs, vertebrae, gonads, kidneys, and structures of the circulatory and excretory systems. It is divided into paraxial, intermediate, and lateral plate mesoderm giving rise to specific tissues and organs.
- Endoderm: The inner layer, forming the lining of the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital systems. Specific cell types, such as lung cells, thyroid cells, and pancreatic cells are derived from this layer.
- Neurulation: The formation of the neural tube, beginning with the development of the neural plate which rolls up to form the neural tube.
- Primitive Streak Components: The primitive streak has a cranial end that evolves into the primitive node, which in turn forms the primitive pit and primitive groove.
