    Study Notes

    Primitive Uteroplacental Circulation

    • Formation of the bilaminar embryonic disc involves the epiblast and hypoblast.
    • Gastrulation is the process where the trilaminar embryonic disc is formed, resulting in the development of the three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
    • Morphogenesis begins with gastrulation, during which the embryo takes shape.
    • The primitive node, located at the cranial end of the primitive streak, is the precursor to the notochord.
    • The process of neurulation involves the formation of the neural plate, neural folds, and subsequent closure of these folds to form the neural tube.
    • The notochord is located at the cranial end of the embryo.
    • hCG is vital in maintaining the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone to sustain pregnancy.
    • High levels of hCG can indicate multiple pregnancies, ectopic pregnancy, or gestational trophoblastic disease.
    • Hydatidiform mole is a non-viable pregnancy with abnormal placental growth, sometimes with high levels of hCG.

    Cardiovascular Development

    • The splanchnic mesoderm is the source of most of the cardiovascular system, including the heart.
    • The splanchnic mesoderm and the underlying endoderm form the cardiogenic mesoderm.
    • Vasculogenesis is the process of novel blood vessel formation from hemangioblasts.
    • Angiogenesis is the process of forming new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels.
    • The lateral mesoderm is responsible for bringing together the paired heart tubes to form the single heart tube.
    • The second heart field is responsible for forming most of the outflow tract and right ventricle.
    • Blood islands begin appearing around day 17 of embryonic development.
    • The embryo starts producing blood cells around day 19.
    • The primary heart field is also known as the first heart field.
    • The primary heart field is responsible for forming the left ventricle, atrium, and part of the ventricle septum.
    • The neural tube gives rise to the CNS, including the brain and spinal cord.
    • The process of neurulation, involving the formation of the neural plate, neural folds, and their closure, creates the neural tube.
    • The neural crest gives rise to ganglia, Schwann cells, enteric nervous system, chromaffin cells, parafollicular C cells, and melanocytes.

    Embryonic Development

    • The paraxial mesoderm differentiates into somites.
    • Somites differentiate into sclerotome, myotome, and dermatome.
    • The embryoblast differentiates into the epiblast and hypoblast.
    • The epiblast is a source of the three germ layers, while the hypoblast forms the yolk sac.
    • hCG is produced by the syncytiotrophoblast and plays an important role in maintaining the corpus luteum.
    • The extraembryonic mesoderm that surrounds the amnion and yolk sac originates from the hypoblast.
