Describe the development of the EYE 3. Describe the development of the EAR DEVELOPMENT OF THE BRAIN • The neural tube cranial to the fourth pair of the somites develops into the brain. • During the 4th week, three primary brain vesicles are formed: the forebrain (prosencephalon), midbrain (mesencephalon) and hindbrain (rhombencephalon). • Two flexures appear simultaneously: the cervical flexure at the junction of the hindbrain and the spinal cord, and cephalic flexure in the midbrain region. • During the 5th week, the forebrain divides into two vesicles, the telencephalon (future cerebral hemispheres) and diencephalon. • The hindbrain partly divides into the metencephalon (future pons and cerebellum) and myelencephalon, separated by the pontine flexure. • The cavity of the rhombencephalon is known as the fourth ventricle, that of the diencephalon as the third ventricle, and those of the cerebral hemispheres as the lateral ventricles.

Lumen of diencephalon 3. Pars nervosa 4. Sphenoid bone 5. Pars intermedia Hypophysis • The hypophysis or pituitary gland develops entirely from the ectoderm derived from two sources: – ectodermal outpocketing of the stomodeum, known as Rathke's pouch and a downward extension of the diencephalon, the infundibulum. • Rathke's pouch appears during the fourth week and loses its connection with the oral cavity by the end of the 8th week. • The cells of the Rathke's pouch increase rapidly in number and give rise to the adenohypophysis (the anterior lobe), pars tuberalis and pars intermedia. • The infundibulum gives rise to the stalk, and the neurohypophysis (the posterior lobe). PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM • The peripheral nervous system mostly develops from the neural crest cells. • The neural crest cells are groups of ectodermal cells that temporarily form an intermediate zone between the neural tube and surface ectoderm. • These cells migrate and differentiate into the sensory ganglia, sympathetic neuroblasts, Schwann cells, pigment cells, odontoblasts, meninges and cartilage cells of the branchial arches. • Neuroblasts of the sensory ganglia penetrate the dorsal part of the neural tube and mostly end in the dorsal horn, thus giving rise to the dorsal root neurons. • The peripherally growing processes of the neuroblasts in the sensory ganglia terminate in the sensory receptor organs. DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANS • "The autonomic system can be divided into sympathetic portion, localized in the thoracolumbar region, and parasympathetic portion, localized in the cranial and sacral regions • The postganglionic fibers of parasympathetic ganglia pass to the branchial arches, to the cardiac, pulmonary and intestinal plexus DEVELOPMENT OF SYMPATHETIC SYSTEM • Cells originating from the neural crest of the thoracic region migrate to form bilateral sympathetic chains on each side of the vertebral column. • Some cells give rise to the preaortic ganglia and sympathetic organ plexuses. • Nerve fibers from the intermediate horn of the thoracolumbar spinal cord penetrate the ganglia and the sympathetic chains.

Urogenital ridge 9. Notochord 10. Gut DEVELOPMENT OF THE SENSE ORGANS - EYE The eye develops from the three sources: neuroectoderm of the diencephalon, surface ectoderm of the head and the mesoderm between these layers. Three tunics surround the eyeball: 1. fibrous coat (sclera and cornea), 2. vascular coat (iris, ciliary body and choroid), 3. retina (neural and pigmented). These tunics surround three chambers: the anterior chamber (between the cornea and the iris), the posterior chamber (between the iris and the lens), and the vitreous body (behind the lens).

Anterior chamber 14. Posterior chamber DEVELOPMENT OF LENS & RETINA • The eye appears during the 3rd week of development as a lateral evagination of the diencephalon, the optic groove. • It gives rise to the optic vesicle, which is attached to the diencephalon by an optic stalk. • The optic vesicle grows laterally and comes into contact with the surface ectoderm, inducing its thickening known as the lens placode. • This placode subsequently invaginates and develops into the lens vesicle. • The lens vesicle induces the optic vesicle to become invaginated into a double layered optic cup.

Optic stalk DEVELOPMENT OF THE EYE CONT.. • The inner layer of the optic cup develops into the neural retina, while the outer layer becomes the pigmented retina. • The two layers are temporarily separated by the intraretinal space, which is continuous with the lumen of the brain. • Up to the 3rd month, the neural retina has two layers: a nucleated layer and a region of cell processes. • Subsequently, the posterior part of the neural retina develops into specialized neurons (rods and cones, bipolar and ganglion cells) and supporting cells forming the pars optica retinae. • The optic stalk develops into the optic nerve. • Anterior part of the inner layer, pars caeca retinae, remains as single cell layer. It gives rise to the pars ciliaris and pars iridica retinae. DEVELOPMENT OF THE RETINA, CILIARY BODY AND IRIS 1. Pars optica retinae 2. Neural layer 3. Pigment layer 4. Pars caeca retinae 5.

Mesenchyme DEVELOPMENT OF THE EAR • The ear consists of internal, middle and external parts. The first two parts are concerned with the transference of sound waves from the exterior to the inner ear. • The inner ear concerns with the balance and hearing. Components of the ear: 1. the external ear consists of the auricle, the external auditory meatus and the tympanic membrane; 2. the middle ear components are the auditory tube and the tympanic cavity with auditory ossicles; 3. the inner ear consists of the cochlea (containing the organ of Corti) and the vestibular apparatus (containing the semicircular canals, the saccule and the utricle). 1.

Scala vestibuli DEVELOPMENT THE INNER EAR • Early in the fourth week, a thickening of the surface ectoderm on each side of the hindbrain (rhombencephalon) forms the otic placode. • It invaginates to form the otic (auditory) vesicle, the primordium of the membranous labyrinth. • Each vesicle divides into the ventral component, which gives rise to the saccule and the cochlear duct (scala media), and the dorsal portion which forms the utricle, semicircular canals and endolymphatic duct. • The spiral organ of Corti differentiates from the cells in the wall of the cochlear duct. • The mesenchyme around the auditory vesicle differentiates into a cartilaginous otic capsula, which later ossifies to form the bony labyrinth. • Part of the cartilaginous shell undergoes vacuolization, and form the two perilymphatic spaces (scala vestibuli and scala tympani).

  • The Genetic Basis of Mammalian Neurulation
    REVIEWS THE GENETIC BASIS OF MAMMALIAN NEURULATION Andrew J. Copp*, Nicholas D. E. Greene* and Jennifer N. Murdoch‡ More than 80 mutant mouse genes disrupt neurulation and allow an in-depth analysis of the underlying developmental mechanisms. Although many of the genetic mutants have been studied in only rudimentary detail, several molecular pathways can already be identified as crucial for normal neurulation. These include the planar cell-polarity pathway, which is required for the initiation of neural tube closure, and the sonic hedgehog signalling pathway that regulates neural plate bending. Mutant mice also offer an opportunity to unravel the mechanisms by which folic acid prevents neural tube defects, and to develop new therapies for folate-resistant defects. 6 ECTODERM Neurulation is a fundamental event of embryogenesis distinct locations in the brain and spinal cord .By The outer of the three that culminates in the formation of the neural tube, contrast, the mechanisms that underlie the forma- embryonic (germ) layers that which is the precursor of the brain and spinal cord.

Sox9 is expressed in the otic placodes, the primordia of the inner ear, and studies in Xenopus have provided evidence that Sox9 is required for otic specification. Here we report novel and different functions of Sox9 during mouse inner ear development. We show that in mice with a Foxg1Cre-mediated conditional inactivation of Sox9 in the otic ectoderm, otic placodes form and express markers of otic specification. However, mutant placodes do not attach to the neural tube, fail to invaginate, and subsequently degenerate by apoptosis, resulting in a complete loss of otic structures. Transmission-electron microscopic analysis suggests that cell–cell contacts in the Sox9 mutant placodes are abnormal, although E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and beta-catenin protein expression are unchanged.

  • 20. Placodes and Sensory Development
    PLACODES AND 20. SENSORY DEVELOPMENT Letty Moss-Salentijn DDS, PhD Dr. Edwin S. Robinson Professor of Dentistry (in Anatomy and Cell Biology) E-mail: [email protected] READING ASSIGNMENT: Larsen 3rd Edition Chapter 12, Part 2. pp.379-389; Part 3. pp.390- 396; Chapter 13, pp.430-432 SUMMARY A series of ectodermal thickenings or placodes develop in the cephalic region at the periphery of the neural plate. Placodes are central to the development of the cranial sensory systems in vertebrates and are among the innovations that appeared in the early evolution of vertebrates. There are placodes for the three organs of special sense: olfactory, optic (lens) and otic placodes, and (epibranchial) placodes that give rise to the distal cells of the sensory ganglia of cranial nerves V, VII, IX and X. Placodes (with the possible exception of the olfactory placodes) form under the influence of surrounding cranial tissues. They do not appear to require the presence of neural crest. The mesoderm in the prechordal plate plays a significant role in the initial development of the placodes for the organs of special sense, while the pharyngeal pouch endoderm plays that role in the development of the epibranchial placodes. The development of the organs of special sense is described briefly. LEARNING OBJECTIVES You should be able to: a. Give a definition of placodes and describe their evolutionary significance. b. Name the different types of placodes, their locations in the developing embryo and their developmental fates. c. Discuss the early development of the placodes and some of the possible factors that feature in their development.

  • Cephalic Neurulation in the Mouse Embryo Analyzed by SEM and Morphometry
    THE ANATOMICAL RECORD 203:375-396 (1982) Cephalic Neurulation in the Mouse Embryo Analyzed by SEM and Morphometry ANTONE G. JACOBSON AND PATRICK P.L. TAM Department of Zoology. Uniuersity of Texas, Austin, TX 78712 (A.G.J.) and Department of Anatomy, (‘hinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, N.T., Hong Kong IP.PL.T) ABSTRACT A detailed account of mouse neurulation is given based mostly on SEM analysis over 20 hr of development. Many observations and measure- ments were made on staged living embryos and on embryos prepared for scanning and light microscopy to help deduce what mechanisms may contribute to neural tube formation. Each lateral half of the early cephalic neural plate makes a convex bulge, opposite to the way it must fold to form a tube. Underlying mesenchyme and matrix are reported to have a role in forming these bulges. Processes that form the tube must overcome this opposed folding and the forces that produce it. Crani- al flexure begins long before tube formation. The flexure commences at the rostra1 tip of the cephalic neural plate, then the apex of the flexure migrates caudally to the mesencephalic region. Early appearance of this flexure imposes a mechanical impediment to tube closure in forebrain and midbrain regions. Tube closure begins in the cervical region exactly where the neural plate is reflected dorsally by a bend in the embryo. This bend may mechanically assist closure in this region. Cells of the mouse neural plate are reported to contain organized microfilaments and mi- crotubules, and the plate cells appear to change shape (reduce apical area and in- crease cell height) in the same manner as that suggested in embryos of some other species to contribute to neural tube formation.

  • Otic Capsule Or Bony Labyrinth
    DEVELOPMENT OF EAR BY DR NOMAN ULLAH WAZIR DEVELOPMENT OF EAR The ears are composed of three anatomic parts: External ear: • Consisting of the auricle , external acoustic meatus, and the external layer of the tympanic membrane. Middle ear: • The internal layer of the tympanic membrane, and three small auditory ossicles, which are connected to the oval windowsof the internal ear. • Internal ear: Consisting of the vestibulocochlear organ, which is concerned with hearing and balance. • The external and middle parts of the ears are concerned with the transference of sound waves to the internal ears, which convert the waves into nerve impulses and registers changes in equilibrium. DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNALEAR The internal ears are the first to develop. • Otic placode: Early in the 4th week, a thickening of surface ectoderm takes place on each side of the myelencephalon,the caudal part of thehindbrain. • Inductive signals from the paraxial mesoderm and notochord stimulate the surface ectoderm to form theplacodes. • Each otic placode soon invaginates and sinks deep to the surface ectoderm into the underlying mesenchyme. • In so doing, it forms an otic pit. • The edges of the pit come together and fuse to forman otic vesicle the primordium of the membranous labyrinth. • The otic vesicle soon loses its connection with the surface ectoderm. • A diverticulum (endolymohatic appendage) grows from the vesicle and elongates to form the endolymphatic duct and sac. the rest of the oticvesicle differentiates into an expanded pars superior (Ventral saccularparts, which give rise to the sacculeand cochlearducts) and an initially tapered pars inferior (Dorsal utricular parts, from which thesmall endolymphaticducts, utricles and semicircular ductsarise).

  • For Proteoglycans in Neurulation
    J. Anat. (1982), 134, 3, pp. 491-506 491 With 16figures Printed in Great Britain Culture of rat embryos with p-D-xyloside: evidence of a role for proteoglycans in neurulation GILLIAN M. MORRISS-KAY AND BETH CRUTCH Department ofHuman Anatomy, University of Oxford (Accepted 1 May 1981) INTRODUCTION The synthesis of sulphated glycosaminoglycans by early post-implantation rat embryos occurs at very low levels until the onset of neurulation, at which time there is an increase in the level ofsynthesis (as indicated by [3H]glucosamine incorporation) of chondroitin/chondroitin sulphate and heparan sulphate (Solursh & Morriss, 1977). In embryos undergoing neurulation, histochemical staining techniques have indicated that these sulphated glycosaminoglycans are localised in the ectodermal basement membrane and in the extracellular matrix and cell surface-associated material of the mesenchyme. The staining intensity is higher in the neural fold region than elsewhere in the embryo. They are probably present in the form of proteoglycan in association with hyaluronate (Morriss & Solursh, 1978a). In order to investigate further these stage and position-related histochemical differences, we have cultured rat embryos in vitro during neurulation and early somitogenesis in the presence of the xylose-derivative, /8-D-xyloside. This substance has been shown to bring about a reduction in the level of synthesis of protein-bound chondroitin sulphate and an increase in free chondroitin sulphate chains in both chondrogenic and non-chondrogenic systems (Schwartz, Ho & Dorfman, 1976; Galligani, Hopwood, Schwartz & Dorfman, 1975). Its activity is due to interference with the sequence of normal chondroitin sulphate-proteoglycan synthesis, as fol- lows. Prior to chondroitin sulphate chain synthesis, three sugar molecules, xylose and two galactose molecules, are added sequentially to certain serines of the core protein (for review, see Roden & Schwartz, 1975).
