The Third WeekThe significant event of third week is
Gastrulation
Gastrulation: is the process of formation of the 3 germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm & endoderm).
![Page 4: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
GASTRULATION The process by which the bilaminar disc
is converted into a trilaminar disc
It is the beginning of morphogenesis (formation of body form)
Consists of formation of the primitive streak, the three germ layers & the notochord
Embryo is referred to as a Gastrula
![Page 5: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
PRIMITIVE STREAK The primitive streak results
from proliferation of the epiblastic cells in the median plane, in the caudal half of the epiblast, and lies along the cranio-caudal axis.
Its cranial end forms the primitive node
A groove, primitive groove, appears in the primitive streak, which continues with a small depression, primitive pit, in the primitive node.
![Page 6: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A circular thickening appears in the hypoblast near the cranial end, in the midline, to form the prechordal plate ( oropharyngeal membrane), that marks the future site of mouth
A circular thickening appears in the hypoblast caudal to primitive streak in the midline to form the cloacal membrane, the future site of the anus
![Page 7: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
FORMATION OF INTRAEMBRYONIC MESODERM
The epiblastic cells from the primitive streak (groove) proliferate to form mesenchymal tissue
The newly formed cells invaginate and migrate ventrally, laterally & cranially between the epiblast and hypoblast & organize to form the intraembryonic mesoderm
![Page 8: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
FORMATION OF INTRAEMBRYONIC MESODERM CONT’D
Intraembryonic mesoderm merges with the extra-embryonic mesoderm at the periphery of the embryonic disc
By the end of 3rd week, mesoderm lies between embryonic ectoderm and endoderm everywhere EXCEPT in the region of prechordal plate and cloacal membrane, as the embryonic ectoderm & endoderm are fused at these regions
![Page 9: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TRILAMINAR EMBRYONIC DISC
![Page 10: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
FORMATION OF INTRAEMBRYONIC MESODERM CONT’D
Some mesenchymal cells displace the hypoblasts forming the embryonic endoderm
Cells remaining in the epiblast form the embryonic ectoderm
![Page 11: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EACH OF THE THREE GERM LAYERS GIVES RISE TO SPECIFIC TISSUES AND ORGANS
Thus the EPIBLAST gives rise to all three germ layers, Ectoderm,
Mesoderm, Endoderm in the embryo
![Page 12: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
FATE OF PRIMITIVE STREAK Actively forms mesoderm until
the early part of 4th week
Then it starts regressing and becomes an insignificant structure in the sacrocooccygeal regions
Normally it degenerates and disappears by the end of 4th week
Remnants may persist and give rise to a large tumor called Sacrococcygeal Teratomas
![Page 13: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NOTOCHORD
A rod of mesenchymal cells located cranially, in the midline, extending between the primitive node and the prechordal plate
![Page 14: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FORMATION OF NOTOCHORD Mesenchymal cells
migrate cranially from the primitive pit towards the prechordal plate, and form a rod like notochordal process
The notochordal process becomes canalized forming a hollow tube, the notochordal canal, communicating with the primitive pit.
![Page 15: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
FORMATION OF NOTOCHORD CONT’D The floor of the tube
and the underlying endoderm break down, forming a notochordal plate
The notochordal plate becomes continuous with the endodermal layer.
![Page 16: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FORMATION OF NOTOCHORD CONT’D
A temporary communication is established between the amniotic cavity and the yolk sac, termed the neurenteric canal.
![Page 17: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
NOTOCHORDAL PLATE FOLDS TO FORM THE NOTOCHORD.
![Page 18: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
FUNCTIONS OF NOTOCHORDDefines primordial axis of the embryoProvides rigidity to the embryoServes as a basis for the development of
the axial skeleton Indicates the future site of the vertebral
bodies/column Regulates differentiation of surrounding
structures including the overlying ectoderm (neural plate) and mesoderm (somites).
![Page 19: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
FATE OF NOTOCHORD Degenerates and
disappears as the bodies of the vertebrae develop, but it persists as the nucleus pulposus of each intervertebral disc
Remnants of notochordal tissue give rise to tumors called Chordomas
![Page 20: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ECTODERMAL DERIVATIVESTHE NEURULATION
It is the process by which the neural tube is formed. The stages of neurulation include the formation of:
Neural plateNeural groove Neural folds & their fusionNeural crest cellsNeural tube
Begins during early part of the 4th week (22-23 days)
Ends by the end of 4th week (27 days) Is induced by the notochord
![Page 21: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
THE NEURULATION Under the
inducing effect of the developing notochord, the overlying ectodermal cells thickens to form the neural plate
![Page 22: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The neural plate first appears:
Cranial to the primitive node and
Dorsal to the developing notochord & the mesoderm adjacent to it
![Page 23: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
As the notochord forms & elongates:
The embryonic disc elongates and becomes club-shaped
The neural plate broadens and extends cranially as far as the buccopharyngeal membrane, and later on grows beyond it
![Page 24: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
On 18th day: the neural plate invaginates to form neural groove & neural folds
Neural fold
![Page 25: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Some neuroectodermal cells along the crest of the neural fold differentiate as the neural crest cells.
Neural crest cells
Neural fold
![Page 26: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
By the end of 3rd week, the neural folds move to the midline and fuse to form the neural tube
The fusion begins in the future cervical region and then extends both in cranial and caudal direction
![Page 27: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The neural tube separates from the surface ectoderm, lies in the midline, dorsal to the notochord
![Page 28: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Neural tube is open at both ends, communicating freely with the amniotic cavity.
The cranial opening, the rostral neuropore closes at about 25th day & the caudal neuropore closes at about the 27th day
![Page 29: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The cranial ⅓ of the neural tube represent the future brain
The caudal ⅔ represents the future spinal cord
![Page 30: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
FOLDING OF EMBRYO- Folding means
conversion of the flat trilaminar embryonic disc into a cylindrical embryo.
Time: Folding of the embryo begins by the end of the 3rd week. It is completed by the 4th week.
![Page 31: Gastrulation, Neurulation and Folding](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815c3c550346895dca327a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Folding of the embryo is due to rapid growth of the embryo specially the nervous system.
The head folds first
then the tail . At the same time, side to side folding occurs.
