Neurulation is the formation of the neural tube from ectodermal cells during embryonic development. The neural tube later develops into the individual structures of the central nervous system. In neurulation disorders, the formation of the neural tube is defective, which can result in various malformations of the nervous system. What is neurulation? Neurulation, in the … Neurulation: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Blastulation is the formation of a fluid-filled ball of cells, the blastocyst or blastula (Latin for germinal vesicle) during embryonic development. The implantation of the blastocyst in the uterine mucosa marks the actual actual beginning of a pregnancy. What is blastulation? Blastulation is the formation of a fluid-filled ball of cells, the blastocyst during embryonic … Blastulation: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The Greek “genesis” means “emergence” and is used as a medical term for the emergence of diseases as well as for physiological processes of new formation. In this context, embryogenesis, which describes the genesis of human life, plays a particularly important role. What is genesis? The Greek “genesis” means “origin.” In this context, embryogenesis plays … Genesis: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Epiboly is a cell movement of gastrulation that corresponds in principle to invagination. In this process, the prospective endoderm is overgrown by the prospective ectoderm. Disturbances of epiboly occur, for example, when there is a loss of function of the molecule fibronectin and can cause miscarriage. What is epiboly? Epiboly is a cell movement of … Epiboly: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Gastrulation is a stage of early embryonic development. During this stage, the three germ layers of the embryo, the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm, are formed. Gastrulation disorders cause severe malformations that result in death in most cases. What is gastrulation? Gastrulation is a stage of early embryonic development. During embryogenesis, the human embryo forms its … Gastrulation: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The first organ to develop in the human body is the heart. Thus, the cardiovascular system is also the first system in the developmental phase of embryogenesis to be established, and it is very complex in the process. The first heartbeat of the embryo can be detected by ultrasound at about the sixth week of … Embryonic Heart Development: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The mesoderm is the middle cotyledon of the embryoblast. Various tissues of the body differentiate from it. In mesodermal inhibition dysplasias, embryonic development is prematurely interrupted. What is the mesoderm? The embryo develops from what is called a blastocyst, also known as an embryoblast. In triploblastic organisms such as humans, the embryoblast has three distinct … Mesoderm: Structure, Function & Diseases
Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome is an ectodermal dysplasia. The leading symptoms of the disorder are malformations of the skin appendages. Therapy focuses on heat dissipation because patients often do not have fully formed sweat glands and therefore overheat rapidly. What is Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome? During gastrulation, three so-called cotyledons form during embryonic development. This cotyledon formation occurs through … Christ-Siemens-Touraine Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
