1The first cleavage of a zygote occurs immediately after [blank_start]fertilisation[blank_end]. Before the zygote is implanted into the uterine wall at day 7-10, it undergoes a series of subdivisions without [blank_start]growth[blank_end]. The cleavage generates a [blank_start]blastocyst[blank_end] - a hollow ball of cells consisiting of an outer layer of cells known as the [blank_start]trophoblast[blank_end]. This outer layer will interact with the [blank_start]uterine[blank_end] wall. Inside the [blank_start]blastocyst[blank_end] is the [blank_start]inner cell mass[blank_end] which will develop into the embryo.

2After implantation, the cells of the inner cell mass in the zygote rearrange to form what?

- BEpiblast
- CHypoblast
- DTrophoblast
3In what structure of the embryo does the primitive streak develop?

4What is gastrulation?
- AThe organisation of the cells to generate the body plan by differentiation into the primary germ layers
- BThe folding of the neural plate to form the neural tube
- CThe process by which the embryo implants into the uterine wall
- DThe pre-implantation divisions of the zygote
5Fill in the blanks below to describe the process of gastrulation.
1. The primitive streak develops in the [blank_start]epiblast[blank_end].
2. The end of the primitive streak expands to form the [blank_start]primitive node[blank_end].
3. Cells of the epiblast migrate inwards towards the streak, detach from their layer and migrate [blank_start]beneath[blank_end] it.
4. The first cells of the epiblast to migrate invade the [blank_start]hypoblast[blank_end] layer, displacing its cells.
5. Eventually, the hypoblast cells will be entirely replaced by a new layer. This layer is the definitive [blank_start]endoderm[blank_end].
6. Some of the invaginated epiblast cells remain in the space between the layers. This layer is the [blank_start]mesoderm[blank_end].
7. The remaining cells of the epiblast form the definitive [blank_start]ectoderm[blank_end].- Aepiblast
- Bprimitive node
- Cbeneath
- Dhypoblast
- Eendoderm
- Fmesoderm
- Gectoderm
6The epiblast cells no longer migrate after the definitive germ layers have formed.

- BFalse
7What is secondary neurulation?
- AThe formation of a tube by the hollowing out of a solid precursor's interior
- BThe formation of a tube by the infolding of its wall
- CThe formation of a tube by the joining of two hollow structures
- DThe formation of a tube by the layering of rings of cells
8What name is given to the formation of the neural tube in the embryo?
- ANeurulation
- BNeurogenesis
- CGastrulation
- DInvagination
9Using the image, fill in the blanks to describe each stage of neurulation.
1. Neuroectodermal cells differentiate to form the [blank_start]neural plate[blank_end] with a border to separate it from regular ectoderm.
2. The neural plate folds upwards with its apex extending [blank_start]dorsally[blank_end]. The two edges join at the [blank_start]neural plate borders[blank_end], forming the [blank_start]neural crest[blank_end].
3. The closure of the tube disconnects the neural crest from the wall. The cells of the neural crest then differentiate to form the [blank_start]peripheral nervous system[blank_end].
4. The [blank_start]notochord[blank_end] degenerates and other mesoderm cells differentiate into the [blank_start]somites[blank_end].
- Aneural plate

11What will result from an absence of joining of the neural folds at the cranial end of the neural plate?
- AAnencephaly - open brain, lack of skull
- BCraniorachischisis - completely open brain and spinal cord
- CSpina bifida - exposure of the spinal cord
- DCyclopia - lack of division of the orbits of the eye into two cavities
12Label this image showing the organisation of the embryo following neurulation.

13Fill in the blanks to describe what each of the primitive tissues will develop into.
The [blank_start]lateral plate[blank_end] mesoderm will form the splanchnic and somatic nerves.
The [blank_start]intermediate[blank_end] mesoderm will form the kidneys and the gonads.
The [blank_start]paraxial[blank_end] mesoderm will form the head and the somites.- Alateral plate
- Bintermediate
- Cparaxial
14Why do the neural crest cells only occur in the anterior half of the vertebral column?
- AThe posterior halves of the somites express inhibitory molecules
- BThe anterior halves of the somites express attracting molecules
- CThe posterior half of the vertebral column is already a solid structure - no other cells can migrate there
15Fill in the blanks to describe the process of neural crest migration.
The first wave of migration forms the [blank_start]autonomic[blank_end] ganglia. The parasympathetic ganglia migrate to the walls of the [blank_start]organs[blank_end]. The sympathetic ganglia migrate in front of the [blank_start]aorta[blank_end].
The second wave of migration forms the [blank_start]posterior root[blank_end] ganglia either side of the spinal cord. It also forms the [blank_start]Schwann[blank_end] cells and satellite cells.
The final wave of migration forms the [blank_start]melanocytes[blank_end] throughout the epidermis. These give pigmentation to the hair, skin, iris etc.
The neural crest cells at the cranial end form the [blank_start]sensory ganglia[blank_end] of the cranial nerves. They also migrate to form the [blank_start]mesenchyme[blank_end] of the face and neck.- Aautonomic

22A mutation in the [blank_start]SHH[blank_end] gene can result in holoprosencephaly. This results in a lack of development of the two hemispheres of the [blank_start]forebrain[blank_end].
