GASTRULATION
2
 Is the process that establishes 3 germ cell layers:
Trilaminar germ disc at the 3rd week of embryonic
development
 Begins with formation of primitive streak on
surface of epiblast
 Which has an orientation with the cephalic end
marked by the primitive node and pit
GASTRULATION (CONTD)
3
 Epiblast cells migrate to the primitive streak, detach
and slip underneath,
 Displacing the hypoblast and becoming the endoderm
 Subsequent layer of cells develops between this
endoderm and the epiblast- these form the
mesoderm
 The remaining epiblast now is referred to as the
ectoderm.

GASTRULATION (CONTD)
5
 Following gastrulation,
 The bilaminar disc of
blastula is transformed into
Trilamina disc,
 Which consists of three
primary germ layers;
 the ectoderm, mesoderm
and endodermal layers
NOTOCHORDAL FORMATION
6
 Invagination cells that migrate cephalad form the
prechodal plate, that is significant in induction of
the forebrain
 It is situated close to the buccopharnyngeal
membrane
 Also , the migrating cells form the notochord
 That extends from the prechordal plate cranially
to the primitive pit caudally.
NOTOCHORDAL FORMATION
7
 The Cloacal
membrane is
formed at the
caudal end of
the embryonic
disk- formed
NEURULATION
8
 Is the formation of the
neural tube
 Notochord induces the
overlying ectoderm to
thicken and form the neural
plate
 At the end of 3rd week,
neural folds and neural
groove are established.
NEURULATION (CONTD)
9
NEURULATION (CONTD)
10
 Neural folds fuse in
the midline, from the
cervical region and
extending cranially
and caudally.
NEURULATION (CONTD)
11
NEURULATION (CONTD)
12
 Neural tube is formed and invade into the
embryo body
NEURULATION
13
 The broader
cephalic portion
of the neural tube
transforms into
primary brain
vesicles
 The narrower
part develops
into the spinal
cord
NEURULATION (CONTD)
14
Primary and Secondary Vesicle Stages of Development The embryonic brain develops
complexity through enlargements of the neural tube called vesicles; (a) The primary
vesicle stage has three regions, and (b) the secondary vesicle stage has five regions.

SOMITES
15
 Mesodermal cells on each side of the neural tube
begin to form a row of regular, compact
structures called somites
SOMITES (CONTD)
16
A. Dorsal view of a human embryo at about day 22
B. Dorsal view of a human embryo at about day 23.
 The nervous system is in
connection with the amniotic
cavity through the cranial and
caudal neuropores
 Closure of the cranial
neuropore happens at about
day 25(18-20-somite stage)
 Posterior neuropore closes at
approximately day 27 (25-
somite stage)
NEURAL CREST CELLS
17
 Along the line of fusion of
the neural folds, some of the
cells break free and become
migratory within the
mesodermal layer.
 These are the neural crest
cells, and are shown here as
tan-coloured clusters of cells
resembling 'teardrops'
alongside the neural tube
Neural

CLINICAL CONSIDERATION
20
 NTDs occur due to defect in the midline fusion
of neural tube
 Resulting in cranial or spinal dysraphism, and may
involve nerve roots, spinal cord, or bony
vertebrae.
 They can be open or closed types
NEURALTUBE DEFECTS(NTDs)
CLINICAL CONSIDERATION
21
 The causes are mostly
multifactorial, including
both genetic and
environmental causes.
 Mutations in several
genes, especially genes
involved in folic acid
metabolism, have been
found
CLINICAL CONSIDERATION
22
 Failure of cranial
neuropore results to
anencephalic child or
meningocele.
 Failure of posterior
neuropore results in
rachischisis or
meningomyelocele.
