    Study Notes

    Foetal Circulation

    • The umbilical vein carries oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood from the placenta to the foetus.
    • The foramen ovale closes after birth, and failure to close results in a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
    • A PFO can cause oxygenated blood from the left atrium to flow back to the right atrium, leading to hypoxia.
    • The ductus arteriosus closes after birth due to increased oxygen levels.

    Embryonic Development

    • The process of gastrulation turns the bilaminar disc into a trilaminar disc.
    • The cavity within the blastocyst is called the blastocoel.
    • The neural plate is formed from the ectoderm germ layer.
    • The primitive streak grows from the primitive pit and induces changes in the overlying ectoderm.
    • The mesoderm will differentiate into somites.
    • During gastrulation, cells move through the primitive streak through a process called ingression.
    • The blastocyst contains the inner cell mass in the embryoblast.
    • The primitive streak appears on day 14 and marks the beginning of gastrulation.
