Divisions of the nervous system Anatomic subdivisions: Central nervous system (CNS) Read More Brain and spinal cord. Peripheral nervous system (PNS) Read More Nerves and ganglia. Functional subdivisions of the nervous system are classified not on topography, but according to the organs and tissues they supply: Somatic nervous system Read More Supplies structures that we […]
Week 4 of human development: Folding of the embryonic disc and division of the intraembryonic coelom
The human body form arises through cranial, caudal, and lateral folding of the embryonic disc. Hold onto your seats, folks . . . At the end of the 3rd week, the trilaminar embryonic disc is flat and oval in shape. During the 4th week, the disc grows rapidly, especially in length, and undergoes a complicated […]
Week 3 of human development
Two important events occur during Week 3: The process of GASTRULATION, which forms the “germ” layers of the embryo Differentiation of the MESODERM (one of the germ layers) Note Development of the neural tube (future central nervous system) begins in Week 3, but carries over into Week 4. Gastrulation Gastrulation is the process of converting […]
Week 2 of human development: The “week of twos”
Trophoblast goes wild Early in the second week, some trophoblast cells lose their cell membranes and coalesce into a mass of cytoplasm with many scattered nuclei (= a syncytium). Called the syncytiotrophoblast, this invasive mass burrows into the spaces between endometrial cells, pulling the blastocyst into the endometrium. The trophoblast cells internal to the syncytiotrophoblast […]
