    BIOL 6505 − INTRODUCTION TO FETAL MEDICINE 3. EMBRYOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT Arlet G. Kurkchubasche, M.D. INTRODUCTION Embryology – the field of study that pertains to the developing organism/human Basic embryology –usually taught in the chronologic sequence of events. These events are the basis for understanding the congenital anomalies that we encounter in the fetus, and help explain the relationships to other organ system concerns. Below is a synopsis of some of the critical steps in embryogenesis from the anatomic rather than molecular basis. These concepts will be more intuitive and evident in conjunction with diagrams and animated sequences. This text is a synopsis of material provided in Langman’s Medical Embryology, 9th ed. First week – ovulation to fertilization to implantation Fertilization restores 1) the diploid number of chromosomes, 2) determines the chromosomal sex and 3) initiates cleavage. Cleavage of the fertilized ovum results in mitotic divisions generating blastomeres that form a 16-cell morula. The dense morula develops a central cavity and now forms the blastocyst, which restructures into 2 components. The inner cell mass forms the embryoblast and outer cell mass the trophoblast. Consequences for fetal management: Variances in cleavage, i.e. splitting of the zygote at various stages/locations - leads to monozygotic twinning with various relationships of the fetal membranes. Cleavage at later weeks will lead to conjoined twinning. Second week: the week of twos – marked by bilaminar germ disc formation. Commences with blastocyst partially embedded in endometrial stroma Trophoblast forms – 1) cytotrophoblast – mitotic cells that coalesce to form 2) syncytiotrophoblast – erodes into maternal tissues, forms lacunae which are critical to development of the uteroplacental circulation.

  • THE DORSAL AORTAE, Which Run with the Long Axis of the Embryo and Form the Continuation of the Endocardial Heart Tubes
    AORTIC ARCH SYSTEM The major arteries in an early embryo are represented by a pair of vessels THE DORSAL AORTAE, which run with the long axis of the embryo and form the continuation of the endocardial heart tubes. The cranial portion of each dorsal aorta forms an arc on both sides of the foregut, thus establishing the first pair of aortic arch arteries, termed aortic arches Dr. Amjad Shatarat, School of Medicine, 1 The University of Jordan Arterial System • Aortic Arches • they run within branchial (pharyngeal) arches • These arteries, the aortic arches, arise from the aortic sac, the most distal part of the truncus arteriosus . • The aortic sac, giving rise to a total of five pairs of arteries. • The pharyngeal arches and their vessels appear in a cranial-to-caudal sequence, so that they are not all present simultaneously. • Consequently, the five arches are numbered I, II, III, IV, and VI . • During further development, this arterial pattern becomes modified, and some vessels regress completely. Dr. Amjad Shatarat, School of Medicine, 2 The University of Jordan • Division of the truncus arteriosus by the aorticopulmonary septum divides the outflow channel of the heart into the ventral aorta and the pulmonary trunk. The aortic sac then forms right and left horns, which subsequently give rise to the brachiocephalic artery and the proximal segment of the aortic arch, respectively . Dr. Amjad Shatarat, School of Medicine, 3 The University of Jordan The first pair of arteries largely disappears but remnants of them form part of the maxillary arteries, which supply the ears, teeth, and muscles of the eyes and face Derivatives of Second Pair of Pharyngeal Arch Arteries Dorsal parts of these arteries persist and form the stems of the small stapedial arteries; these small vessels run through the ring of the stapes, a small bone in the middle ear Dr.

  • Fetal Blood Flow and Genetic Mutations in Conotruncal Congenital Heart Disease
    Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease Review Fetal Blood Flow and Genetic Mutations in Conotruncal Congenital Heart Disease Laura A. Dyer 1 and Sandra Rugonyi 2,* 1 Department of Biology, University of Portland, Portland, OR 97203, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Biomedical Engineering, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In congenital heart disease, the presence of structural defects affects blood flow in the heart and circulation. However, because the fetal circulation bypasses the lungs, fetuses with cyanotic heart defects can survive in utero but need prompt intervention to survive after birth. Tetralogy of Fallot and persistent truncus arteriosus are two of the most significant conotruncal heart defects. In both defects, blood access to the lungs is restricted or non-existent, and babies with these critical conditions need intervention right after birth. While there are known genetic mutations that lead to these critical heart defects, early perturbations in blood flow can independently lead to critical heart defects. In this paper, we start by comparing the fetal circulation with the neonatal and adult circulation, and reviewing how altered fetal blood flow can be used as a diagnostic tool to plan interventions. We then look at known factors that lead to tetralogy of Fallot and persistent truncus arteriosus: namely early perturbations in blood flow and mutations within VEGF-related pathways. The interplay between physical and genetic factors means that any one alteration can cause significant disruptions during development and underscore our need to better understand the effects of both blood flow and flow-responsive genes.

  • Embryology of Branchial Region
    TRANSCRIPTIONS OF NARRATIONS FOR EMBRYOLOGY OF THE BRANCHIAL REGION Branchial Arch Development, slide 2 This is a very familiar picture - a median sagittal section of a four week embryo. I have actually done one thing correctly, I have eliminated the oropharyngeal membrane, which does disappear sometime during the fourth week of development. The cloacal membrane, as you know, doesn't disappear until the seventh week, and therefore it is still intact here, but unlabeled. But, I've labeled a couple of things not mentioned before. First of all, the most cranial part of the foregut, that is, the part that is cranial to the chest region, is called the pharynx. The part of the foregut in the chest region is called the esophagus; you probably knew that. And then, leading to the pharynx from the outside, is an ectodermal inpocketing, which is called the stomodeum. That originally led to the oropharyngeal membrane, but now that the oropharyngeal membrane is ruptured, the stomodeum is a pathway between the amniotic cavity and the lumen of the foregut. The stomodeum is going to become your oral cavity. Branchial Arch Development, slide 3 This is an actual picture of a four-week embryo. It's about 5mm crown-rump length. The stomodeum is labeled - that is the future oral cavity that leads to the pharynx through the ruptured oropharyngeal membrane. And I've also indicated these ridges separated by grooves that lie caudal to the stomodeum and cranial to the heart, which are called branchial arches. Now, if this is a four- week old embryo, clearly these things have developed during the fourth week, and I've never mentioned them before.

  • Folding of Embryo
    ❑There is progressive increase in the size of the embryonic disc due to rapid growth of cells of central part of embryonic disc and rapid growth of somites. ❑ This causes conversion of flat pear-shaped germ disc into a cylindrical embryo. ❑The head and tail ends of the disc remain relatively close together.The increased length of the disc causes it to bulge upward into the amniotic cavity. ❑With the formation of the head and tail folds, parts of the yolk sac become enclosed within the embryo. ❑ In this way, a tube lined by endoderm is formed in the embryo. This is the primitive gut, from which most of the gastrointestinal tract is derived. ❑ At first, the gut is in wide communication with the yolk sac. The part of the gut cranial to this communication is called the foregut; the part caudal to the communication is called the hindgut; while the intervening part is called the midgut . ❑The communication with the yolk sac becomes progressively narrower. As a result of these changes, the yolk sac becomes small and inconspicuous, and is now termed the definitive yolk sac (also called the umbilical vesicle). ❑The narrow channel connecting it to the gut is called the vitellointestinal duct (also called vitelline duct; yolk stalk or omphalomesenteric duct). This duct becomes elongated and eventually disappears. ❑With the formation of the cavity, the embryo (along with the amniotic cavity and yolk sac) remains attached to the trophoblast only by extraembryonic mesoderm into which the coelom does not exist. This extraembryonic mesoderm forms the connecting stalk.

Kamdi, Arun P. Kasote, Madhukar P. Parchand Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India Abstract: Knowledge of the branching pattern of aortic arch is important during supra-aortic angiography, aortic instrumentation, thoracic and neck surgery. The purpose of this study is to describe different branching pattern of arch of aorta in Indian subjects, in order to offer useful data to anatomists, radiologists, vascular surgeons while relating it to the embryological basis. Seventy five arches of adult Indian cadavers were exposed and their branches examined during cadaveric dissection in the Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Nagpur. The usual three-branched aortic arch was found in 58 cadavers (77.3%); the 11 (14.66%) remaining aortic arch showed only two branches, out of which one was a common trunk, which incorporated the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid and other left subclavian artery and 6 (8%) aortic arches showed direct arch origin of the left vertebral artery. Although the variations are usually asymptomatic, they may cause dyspnoea, dysphasia, intermittent claudication, misinterpretation of radiological examinations and complications during neck and thorax surgery. Knowledge of different patterns of arch of aorta is critical when invading the arch of aorta and its branches by instruments, as all these areas are delicate.
