Towards the culmination of the third week of development, the mesoderm layer differentiates into three mesodermal layers. The paraxial mesoderm is the first layer that later develops to create the skull and vertebrae complex. The intermediate mesodermal region later develops into the urogenital regions while the lateral plate mesoderm differentiates to form the body cavity. The body cavity later closes on all sides when the lateral body coalesces with the midline. The gut remains connected to the yolk sac via the yolk or vitelline duct. Consequently, the lateral section of the gut is encapsulated by the amnion that surrounds the whole embryo and at this time, the connecting stalk develops into the umbilical cord. The parietal mesoderm will
In the first month of pregnancy head and trunk appear and tiny arm buds begin to form, followed by leg buds. The early embryo seems to have a "tail", but this is really a protective covering for the spinal cord because the central nervous system (brain, spine and spinal cord) is so important. At this point of development the structures that eventually form the face and neck are becoming
After embryo development, endosperm is growth to store nutrients. This happens after double fertilization, when the triploid nucleus of the ovule’s central cell divides. This causes the formation of a milky multinucleate “supercell”. This becomes multicellular after cytokinesis. Finally, when the cell walls are completed, the endosperm becomes solid.
In the fetal pig, an anterior structure would be the head, whereas posterior refers to the tail end of the pig.
However, evidence says otherwise. Randy Alcorn, author of over fifty books on the subject, argues this point quite well: “A body part is defined by the common genetic code it shares with the rest of its body; the unborn’s genetic code differs from his mother’s. The child may die and the mother may live, or the mother may die and the child live, proving that they are two separate individuals.” Not only that, but this “removable body part” can think for itself. As was stated before, a baby in the second trimester is developed enough to respond to noises and make faces. Can your appendix do that?
The outer germ layer is the ectoderm that forms the outer part of the body (the skin) and the nervous system. The endoderm, the inner germ layer, forms many inner structures, including the digestive tract and many glands associated with it. Lastly, the mesoderm is the middle layer which forms much of the skeleton and muscles.
S: Page 134 is all about the embryonic period of pregnancy. The embryonic period lasts from week 3 to week 8, and it is a very important time because that is when the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm are being formed. The ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm will later for more important oragans and body structures.
During regular septum development in a fetus, the septum primum tissue between the left and right atria grows downward slowly creating two separate chambers and exposes a gap (ostium primum, “first opening”). The septum primum then fuses with the endocardial cushion and the gap closes completely while a hole appears in the upper area (ostium secundum, “second opening”). The septum secundum now starts to grow downward to the right of the septum primum, covering the ostium secundum but leaving an opening (foramen ovale).
The longitudinal layer is 2.5 mm thick and the thickness decreases with age. Cranially the layer is predominantly muscular while fibro-elastic caudally. The fibro-elastic tissue of the longitudinal layer is continuous with the fibro-elastic network outside the sphincter to the perianal skin to form the corrugator cutis ani, thereby forming an intra-sphincteric fibro-elastic network passing through the external sphincter(Stoker, 2009).
The formation of the thoracic and abdominal walls is complete in the 9 th week of pregnancy and of the heart in the 8 th week. Complete or incomplete failure of midline fusion at this embryonic stage can result in a variety of disorders
According to parents.com, after conception, a fetus begins to develop rather quickly. In the fifth week of pregnancy, a baby’s heart begins to beat. A baby also develops three distinct layers, ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. These three layers will eventually form the body systems that are necessary
Peritoneum is grouped into instinctive and parietal peritoneum. The instinctive peritoneum conceals the stomach organs and structures the fringe of the intestinal tract. Then again, parietal peritoneum covers the stomach cavity. The reason for these layers is to ensure the inside organs and to emit a greasing up liquid that facilitates the development of inward organs in the stomach pit.
The final stage is the fetal stage and lasts from two months after conception until birth and when many different organs begin to form and develop, helping the baby take shape. It is in this stage that the development of bones and muscles, and organ systems begin their final development and start functioning (Lightfoot, Cole & Cole, 2013). At this time, the brain increases in size at a rapid rate, a layer of fat forms under the skin to help insulate the bodily organs, and the respiratory and digestive systems start functioning independently (Lightfoot, Cole & Cole,

The uterus is a hollow muscular organ that lies between the bladder and the rectum, it contains three parts; the fundus, the cervix and the body. The walls of the uterus are composed of three layers of tissue; the perimetreum, the myometrium and the endometrium. It is a pear shaped organ and approximately 3.0 cm in length, 4.5cm wide and 3.0cm thick, it can be divided anatomically into four sections: the fundus, the
