    Study Notes

    Introduction to Female Reproductive Anatomy

    • The reproductive anatomy in females consists of ovaries, uterine tubes (Fallopian tubes), and uterus.
    • Ovaries produce oocytes (female haploid gametes) and hormones such as progesterone and estrogens.
    • Uterine tubes receive oocytes from ovaries and are the site of fertilization.
    • The uterus is where the embryo develops and the placenta and membranes form.

    Basics of Ovulation and Fertilization

    • Remember meiosis?
    • Progesterone helps prepare the uterus for implantation.

    Gastrulation

    • Gastrulation is the process of forming three embryonic germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm.
    • Ectoderm is typically found on the exterior of the organism, endoderm is typically found on the interior, and mesoderm is found between the two.
    • Endoderm and mesoderm can also be extra-embryonic.

    Week 2 and 3 Embryology

    • Coelom is a fluid-filled cavity.
    • Cephalad means towards the head region, and caudad means towards the tail region.
    • The epiblast and hypoblast differentiate into two distinct layers during gastrulation.

    Implantation

    • Implantation of the embryo is complete around day 10.
    • The embryo is surrounded by syncytiotrophoblast cells.
    • Decidual cells accumulate glycogen and lipids throughout the uterus.

    Embryonic Folding

    • Folding begins at the end of the 3rd week and is easy to see in the 4th week.
    • Cranial folding incorporates part of the endoderm of the umbilical vesicle into the embryo as the foregut.
    • Lateral folding is caused by the rapidly growing spinal cord and somites.
    • Tail folding incorporates part of the endoderm germ layer into the embryo as the hindgut.

    Germ Layer Derivatives

    • The three germ layers formed during gastrulation give rise to the primordia of all tissues and organs.
    • Ectoderm derivatives include the CNS, PNS, sensory epithelia, and epidermis.
    • Mesoderm derivatives include connective tissue, cartilage, bone, and muscles.
    • Endoderm derivatives include the epithelial lining of the digestive and respiratory tracts, and organs such as the liver, pancreas, and thyroid.

    Development of the Nervous System

    • The neural plate forms at day 19 and eventually gives rise to the CNS and PNS.
    • Neural crest cells are important for the development of the nervous system.

    Pharyngeal Arches

    • The pharyngeal arches give rise to various bone and cartilage derivatives.
    • Each pharyngeal arch has a specific nerve and muscle derivative.

    Thyroid Development

    • The thyroid gland is the first endocrine gland to develop in the embryo.
    • It forms from a median endodermal thickening in the floor of the primordial pharynx.
    • The developing thyroid gland descends in the neck and eventually reaches its final site.

    Week 1-2: Embryonic Development

    • Day 6-7: Syncytiotrophoblast invades the stroma, and the inner cell mass (embryoblast) differentiates into two distinct layers:
      • Epiblast: will become the embryo proper
      • Hypoblast: will line the blastocystic cavity (coelom) and form the primary yolk sac, also known as the primary endoderm

    Week 2-3: Embryologic Terms

    • Coelom: a fluid-filled cavity
    • Gastrulation: the process of forming three embryonic germ layers:
      • Ectoderm: typically found on the exterior of the organism
      • Endoderm: typically found on the interior of the organism
      • Mesoderm (intraembryonic mesoderm): found between the ectoderm and endoderm
    • Note: endoderm and mesoderm can also be extra-embryonic (not classified as gastrulation)

    Week 2-3: Implantation and Folding

    • Completion of implantation: day 10
      • The embryo is completely embedded within the endometrium
      • Surrounded by syncytiotrophoblast cells
    • Decidualization: stromal cells undergo changes, accumulating glycogen and lipids, and eventually undergoing apoptosis, releasing stored nutrients for embryonic growth
    • Epiblast and hypoblast:
      • Epiblast enlarges and gives rise to amnioblasts, which surround the developing amniotic cavity
      • Hypoblast extends around the entire interior surface of the blastocoel

    Week 3-4: Neural Development

    • Longitudinal neural groove develops in the neural plate, flanked by neural folds
    • Fusion of neural folds forms the neural tube, the primordium of the CNS
    • Neuroectodermal cells form a neural crest between the surface ectoderm and neural tube
    • Mesoderm on each side of the notochord condenses to form longitudinal columns of paraxial mesoderm, which give rise to somites

    Week 3-4: Coelom and Blood Vessels

    • Coelom (cavity) arises as isolated spaces in the lateral mesoderm and cardiogenic mesoderm
    • Coelomic vesicles coalesce to form a single, horseshoe-shaped cavity that gives rise to the body cavities
    • Blood vessels first appear in the wall of the umbilical vesicle, allantois, and chorion
    • Fetal and adult erythrocytes develop from different hematopoietic precursors

    Week 3-4: Embryonic Folding

    • Embryonic folding: the process by which the embryonic disk becomes more cylindrical in shape
    • Folding occurs in two general planes:
      • Median plane: anterior and posterior ends of the embryo move ventrally (cranial-caudal folding)
      • Horizontal plane: lateral edges of the embryonic disk move ventrally (lateral folding)

    Week 4: Cranial and Caudal Folding

    • Cranial folding:
      • Part of the endoderm of the umbilical vesicle is incorporated into the embryo as the foregut
      • Foregut lies between the brain and heart
      • Oropharyngeal membrane separates the foregut from the stomodeum (primordium of the mouth)
    • Caudal folding:
      • Part of the endodermal germ layer is incorporated into the embryo as the hindgut
      • Connecting stalk is attached to the ventral surface of the embryo, and the allantois is partially incorporated into the embryo

    Germ Layer Derivatives

    • Ectoderm: CNS, PNS, sensory epithelia, epidermis, and its appendages
    • Mesoderm: connective tissue, cartilage, bone, heart, blood, and lymphatic vessels
    • Endoderm: epithelial lining of the digestive and respiratory tracts, parenchyma of the liver, pancreas, and thyroid glands

    Development of the Nervous System

    • Neural plate can be seen at day 19
    • Neural plate forms the neural tube, which gives rise to the CNS
    • Pharyngeal arches: the main formative elements of the face, nasal cavities, mouth, larynx, pharynx, and neck

    Development of the Pharyngeal Apparatus

    • Pharyngeal arches begin to develop early in the fourth week
    • Pharyngeal arches are separated from each other by pharyngeal grooves
    • Pharyngeal arches give rise to:
      • First arch: maxilla, mandible, and parts of the vomer
      • Second arch: parts of the face, nasal cavities, and mouth
      • Third arch: parts of the pharynx, larynx, and neck

    Development of the Thyroid

    • Thyroid gland begins to form 24 days after fertilization from a median endodermal thickening in the floor of the primordial pharynx
    • Thyroid gland descends in the neck, passing ventral to the developing hyoid bone and laryngeal cartilages
    • Thyroid gland is connected to the tongue by a narrow tube, the thyroglossal duct, which usually degenerates by 7 weeks
