Study Notes
Stomodeum
- The stomodeum is the primitive mouth in embryonic development, contributing to the formation of the oral cavity, the roof of the mouth, and the anterior pituitary gland.
Optic Cup
- The optic cup, which forms the retina of the eye, develops from the optic vesicle, an outpouching of the forebrain.
Mesencephalon
- The mesencephalon, also known as the midbrain, gives rise to the tectum and tegmentum, which are involved in various functions including auditory and visual processing.
Hypophysis
- The hypophysis, or pituitary gland, develops from Rathke's pouch, an invagination of the ectoderm in the roof of the mouth. Its main function is to produce hormones that regulate various physiological processes.
Lens Fiber Formation
- The lens vesicle, formed from the surface ectoderm of the head, generates lens fibers, which are the elongated cells that make up the lens of the eye.
4mm Frog Embryo
- In a 4mm frog embryo, the somites, which form the vertebral column and associated muscles, become clearly recognizable.
Foremost Part of the Brain
- The telencephalon, the most anterior part of the brain, develops into the cerebrum, the largest part of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions.
Olfactory Placodes
- Olfactory placodes are ectodermal thickenings located on the head, responsible for the development of the olfactory epithelium, the sensory organ responsible for smell.
Pineal Body
- The pineal body, an endocrine gland involved in regulating circadian rhythms, forms from the diencephalon, the middle part of the brain.
Otic Placode Location
- The otic placode, responsible for ear development, is located lateral to the hindbrain, specifically the rhombencephalon.
Otic Lens
- The otic lens refers to a misnomer and does not have a specific function; it is not an actual lens.
Olfactory Pits
- Olfactory pits, invaginations from the olfactory placodes, form the nasal cavity, the space within the nose.
Optic Vesicle Evagination
- The optic vesicle, the precursor to the eye, evaginates from the diencephalon, the middle part of the brain.
Development of the Lens
- The surface ectoderm of the head undergoes invagination, forming the lens vesicle, which gives rise to the lens.
Prechordal Cartilage
- The prechordal cartilage, a transient structure at the anterior end of the embryo, provides support for the developing head and contributes to the formation of the skull.
Cavity Associated with the Heart
- The pericardial coelom, the cavity surrounding the heart, is essential for the development and function of the heart.
Paired Pigment Invaginations
- Paired pigment invaginations are located in the dorsal region of the embryo and are associated with the development of the eyes.
Anterior/Posterior Axis
- The notochord, a rod-like structure running along the dorsal side of the embryo, defines the anterior and posterior axis of the developing embryo.
Most Caudal Part of the Brain
- The myelencephalon, the most caudal part of the brain, develops into the medulla oblongata, a vital part of the brainstem involved in crucial functions like breathing and heart rate regulation.
Rhombocoel Cavity
- The rhombocoel is the cavity within the hindbrain (rhombencephalon), associated with its development and function.
Structure Suspended Within the Pericardial Coelom
- Initially, the heart is suspended within the pericardial coelom by the dorsal mesocardium, a fold of tissue that connects the heart to the dorsal body wall.
Otic Placode Location
- The otic placode, located lateral to the rhombencephalon (hindbrain), is essential for the development of the inner ear.
Structure Separating Heart from Midventral Region
- The pericardial coelom is a cavity that separates the heart from the midventral region of the developing embryo.
Sclerotome Function
- The sclerotome, derived from somites, gives rise to the vertebral column and associated structures.
Somite Location
- Somites are segmented blocks of mesoderm located along the dorsal side of the developing embryo.
Epimyocardium Function
- The epimyocardium, a layer of cells surrounding the heart, contributes to the formation of the heart chambers and valves.
Degeneration of the Pronephric Kidney
- The pronephric kidney, a transient structure early in development, degenerates and is replaced by the mesonephric kidney in adults.
Dermatome Function
- The dermatome, derived from somites, gives rise to the dermis, the layer of skin beneath the epidermis.
Mesenchymal Cells in the Heart
- Mesenchymal cells, migrating from the lateral plate mesoderm, are found in the heart during development and contribute to the formation of the heart wall and connective tissues.
