Embryo refers to what period of development?
First 8 weeks
Fetus refers to what period of development?
9 weeks - term
At ~3 weeks of development, the embryo consists of ______
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm(in a flat, 2-D disc that is spread over the yolk sac)
3 parts of the mesoderm
1. Paraxial mesoderm2. Intermediate mesoderm3. Lateral plate mesoderm
Paraxial mesoderm
Becomes divided into segments (somites) from which the skeletal muscles and some bones (e.g. vertebrae) develop
Intermediate mesoderm
Gives rise to parts of the GU system
Lateral plate mesoderm
Extends laterally as a plate of tissue on either side of the mesoderm
Formation of the intraembryonic coelom
Intercellular clefts appear in each lateral plate mesoderm, forming an outer somatic layer and an inner splanchnic layer, and coalescing to form the intraembryonic coelom
Intraembryonic coelom gives rise to _________
Peritoneal, pericardial, and pleural cavities.
Define a serous membrane.
A thin membrane that lines a body cavity that secretes watery fluid to keep the surface of the membrane moist.
The serous membrane lining the peritoneal cavity is called the _________
Peritoneum
The serous membrane lining the pericardial cavity is called the ________
Serous pericardium
The serous membrane lining the pleural cavity is called the _________
Pleura
Each of the 3 serous membranes has an outer (______) layer and an inner (_______) layer
Parietal Visceral
____________ gives rise to the parietal layers of the serous membranes.
Outer somatic layer of the lateral plate mesoderm
