Question 13

Question
Cells from the primitive streak DO NOT become:
Answer

Question 14

Question
The primitive streak:
Answer
  • is derived from the outer cells of the morula
  • is formed during the second week in development
  • persists as the cloacal membrane
  • is the site of involution of epiblast cells to form mesoderm

Question 15

Question
In the third week of human embryonic development:
Answer
  • the amnion appears
  • a bilaminar embryonic disc is formed
  • the body stalk moves ventrally and joins with the yolk sac stalk to form the umbilical cord

  • the uteroplacental circulation is established

Question 16

Question
During development, the notochordal process:
Answer
  • arises from involuting endodermal cells
  • extends from the prochordal plate to the primitive node
  • is involved in the induction of the primitive gut

Question 17

Question
The following organs are derived from mesoderm EXCEPT:
Answer

  • musculature of blood vessels
  • cardiac musculature
  • suprarenal cortex
  • suprarenal medulla

Question 18

Question
Somites:
Answer
  • differentiate into myotomes which give rise to skeletal muscle in trunk and limbs
  • differentiate into sclerotomes which give rise to vertebrae
  • arise from segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm

Question 23

Question
As a resident in pediatrics, you are called to see a newborn who has a unilateral cleft lip and a unilateral cleft of the primary palate. This condition is most likely the result of:
Answer
  • failure of fusion of the mandibular prominences
  • failure of fusion of the medial nasal processes

Question 30

Question
A 28-year-old woman who does not know that she is pregnant undergoes a chemotherapy treatment at the end of her 1st week of pregnancy. Chemotherapy is associated with slowing the rate of mitosis in exposed cells, which is good in cancer treatment.
