+ Beginning of week 3
' Ectoderm layer broader in cephalic
region than in caudal region
+ Notechord initiates neurulation, forming
‘neural tube between mesoderm, ectoderrn
+ On dorsal side of neural tube as neural
folds fuse, neural crest cells migrate
+ Form new cell layer between ectoderm,
neural tube
+ As neural crest cells migrate throughout
fetus, they give rise to tissues including
peripheral nervous system {sensory
‘ganglia, sympathetic neurons, Schwann
Calls), skin melanocytes, part of facial
bones, adrenal gland chromaffin cells,
thyroid parafolicular(C) cells
+ Neural tube has an opening on each end
» Cranial neuropore (top): closes around
day 25
+ Caudal neuropore (bottom): closes
around day 28

+ Surface ectoderm forms ectodermal
thickenings, otic, lens placodes, near eranial
fend of ectoderm
* Otic placodes form otic vesicles —»
cochlea, inner ear
+ Lens placodes —+ lens, comea of eyes
+ Other ectoderm cells form sensory
epithelium (eg. lining of nose, mouth}
+ Other ectoderm celis form epidermis layer
of fetal skin, associated structures (e.g,
hair, nal, sweat glands, pitutary gland,
mammary glands}
+ Ectoderm, parietal layer of mesoderm
fold around with two sides meeting up in
midline
+ Forms anterior body wal, everywhere

‘that develop around day 20.
Paraxial mesoderm
+ Starts to segment into paired tissue
blocks called somites, one of each sitting
slongside notochord, neural tube above it
+ About three somite pas form per day in
craniacaudal direction
= By week five, there are 42-44 pairs of
somites
= Number of somites can be used to
determine embryo age
+ Sorites divide into three regions
+ Sclerotome: gives rise to bone, cartilage
= Myotome: gives rise to muscles
+= Dermatome: gives rise to dermis skin
layer
Intermediate mesoderm
+ Gives rise to urogenital structures fe.

Lateral plate mesoderm
+ Gives rise to serous membranes, soft
tissues of arms, legs, muscular gut wal,
heart, circulatory systern .

collapses; in some people it remains as
