  • 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.

  • Insect Digestion
    INSECT DIGESTION Zoo 514 Dr. Reem Alajmi Insect digestive system The alimentary canal is concerned with digestion and absorption of food stuffs. Different parts of the gut are concerned with different aspects of these functions. In fluid feeding insects digestion begin before the food is ingested through the injection or regurgitation of enzymes on to the food . In general it occurs in the mid gut (most of the enzymes are produced). The enzymes break down the complex substances in the food into simple substances which can be absorbed and assimilated. Enzymes function optimally only within limited range of pH and temperature. Absorption is passive process in some cases , but in others active transport occurs. Absorption of water is important in terrestrial insects , rectum remove water from faeces. • Insects of different groups consume astonishing variety of foods, including watery xylem sap, vertebrate blood, dry wood, bacteria and algae and the internal tissues of other insects. • Types of mouth parts correlates with the diets of insect. Also gut structure and function affected by nutrient composition of the food eaten by insect. • Insects that take solid food typically have a wide, straight, short gut with strong musculature and obvious protection from abrasion (especially in the midgut, which has no cuticular lining). • These features are most obvious in solid-feeders with rapid throughput of food, as in many insects and plant-feeding caterpillars In contrast, insects feeding on blood, sap or nectar usually have long, narrow, convoluted guts to allow maximal contact with the liquid food; here, protection from abrasion is unnecessary. The most obvious gut specialization of liquid-feeders is a mechanism for removing excess water to concentrate nutrient substances prior to digestion, as seen in hemipterans.

  • DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Generalized Insect Alimentary Tract the Digestive System Is Just a Tube Within a Surrounding Tube Called the Body
    DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Generalized insect alimentary tract The digestive system is just a tube within a surrounding tube called the body. It starts with a mouth and ends with the anus. What goes on in between depends on the insect, its life stage and what it eats. The origin of the digestive tract. At the anterior pole of the embryo an indentation forms that will be the foregut or stomodeum. At the other end a similar thing occurs and the proctodeum or hindgut is formed. Both are lined by cuticle. They both are of ectodermal origin while the midgut is of mesodermal origin and is also called the mesenteron. This different origin of the midgut from the endoderm and not the ecotoderm probably explains why it is not lined with cuticle Anterior midgut invagination.

The digestive system is involved in: 1. Obtaining food 2. Mechanically breaking it down into smaller particles that facilitate digestive enzymes acting on them 3.

  • Facial and Palatal Development
    11. FACIAL AND PALATAL 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: p.352; pp.365-371; 398-404. SUMMARY: The external human face develops between the 4th and 6th weeks of embryonic development. Facial swellings arise on the frontonasal process (2 medial nasal and 2 lateral nasal processes) and the first pharyngeal arch (2 mandibular and 2 maxillary processes). By a process of merging and some localized fusion these processes come together to form the continuous surfaces of the external face. The primary palate is formed in this period by fusion/merging of the medial nasal and maxillary processes. Subsequently, between 6th and 12th embryonic/fetal weeks, the secondary palate is formed as the result of fusion between palatal processes growing from the oral surfaces of the maxillary processes. Each merging and fusion site is also the site of a potential facial or palatal cleft. LEARNING OBJECTIVES You should be able to: a. Demonstrate on a frontal image of a human face those parts of the face that are formed by contributions from the frontonasal process and those that are formed by contributions from the first pharyngeal arch. b. Describe the following as to site, composition, time of appearance, and fate: oropharyngeal membrane, oronasal membrane. c. List the derivatives of the four pairs of facial processes and the pair of palatal processes. d. Describe the development of the nose and primary palate. e. Explain the differences between the processes of merging and fusion.

  • Pharyngeal Arches. Pharyngeal Pouches
    Multimedial Unit of Dept. of Anatomy Jagiellonian University The head and neck regions of a 4-week human embryo somewhat resemble these regions of a fish embryo of a comparable stage of development. This explains the former use of the designation „branchial apparatus” – the adjective „branchial” is derived from the Greek word branchia – the gill. The pharyngeal apparatus consists of: pharyngeal arches pharyngeal pouches pharyngeal grooves pharyngeal membranes The pharyngeal arches begin to develop early in the fourth week as neural crest cells migrate into the future head and neck regions.

  • Structure, Function and Development of the Digestive System in Malacostracan Crustaceans and Adaptation to Different Lifestyles
    Cell and Tissue Research (2019) 377:415–443 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00441-019-03056-0 REVIEW Structure, function and development of the digestive system in malacostracan crustaceans and adaptation to different lifestyles Jasna Štrus1 & Nada Žnidaršič1 & Polona Mrak1 & Urban Bogataj1 & Günter Vogt2 Received: 15 January 2019 /Accepted: 9 June 2019 /Published online: 4 July 2019 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract The digestive system of the malacostracan crustaceans, namely the decapods, isopods, amphipods and mysids, is among the most complex organ systems of the animal kingdom serving multiple functions such as food processing, absorption and storage of nutrients, synthesis of digestive enzymes and blood proteins, detoxification of xenobiotics and osmoregulation. It is rather well investigated compared to other invertebrates because the Malacostraca include many ecological keystone species and food items for humans. The Decapoda and Peracarida share food processing with chewing and filtering structures of the stomach but differ with respect to morphology and ultrastructure of the digestive glands. In the Peracarida, the digestive glands are composed of few, relatively large lateral caeca, whereas in the Decapoda, hundreds to thousands of blindly ending tubules form a voluminous hepatopancreas. Morphogenesis and onset of functionality of the digestive system strongly depend on the mode of development. The digestive system is early developed in species with feeding planktonic larvae and appears late in species with direct lecithotrophic development. Some structures of the digestive system like the stomach ossicles are rather constant in higher taxa and are of taxonomic value, whereas others like the chewing structures are to some degree adapted to the feeding strategy.

  • Embryology20 Dr.Ban
    Embryology20 Dr.Ban The midgut Organs in the adult mid gut: Duodenum Jejunum Ileum Cecum Appendix Ascending colon Hepatic flexure of colon Transverse colon (proximal 2/3rd ) The mid gut is the portion of the embryo from which most of the intestine develop. During development, the human mid gut undergoes a rapid phase of growth in which the loop of mid gut ( U shaped loop )herniates outside of the abdominal cavity of the fetus and protrudes into the umbilical cord. This herniation is physiological (occurs normally). • The upper limb of the U is destined to be form the future small intestine • The lower limb forms the ascending and transverse colon. • At the tip of the U, the mid gut is attached to the umbilicus by a thin duct called the vitellointestinal duct which disappears during the later stages of development. • The space between the 2 limbs of the U has the mesentry – a fan shaped structure that holds all the loops of intestine together. 1 Embryology20 Dr.Ban The midgut loops slips back out of the umbilical cord and the physiological hernia ceases to exist. This change coincides with : the termination of the yolk sac and the counter clockwise rotation of the two limbs of the midgut loop around their combined central axis. The U loop undergoes 3 rotations in a step wise manner: First it rotates by 90° in the anticlockwise direction (as seen from the front) along the axis of the superior mesentric artery. At the end of this first rotation the upper limb of the U, or the future ileum comes to lie on the fetus’s right and the lower limb of U or the future colon lies on the left.At the end of 10th week, the midgut retracts back into the abdominal cavity.
