Embryology of the Integumentary System and Sense Organs
Embryology · Basic Sciences
How it begins
Desde la epidermis y sus anexos hasta los aparatos especializados de la visión, la audición, el equilibrio, el olfato y el gusto: una exposición exhaustiva de las interacciones ectodermo-mesénquima, las placodas neurogénicas y las copas y vesículas que construyen nuestros órganos receptores, con sus malformaciones de relevancia clínica.
What it covers
- Common ectodermal origin and the concept of placode
- Integumentary System
- Epidermis: stratification and cell populations
- · Immigrant cell populations
- Dermis and hypodermis: the double mesenchymal origin
- Skin annexes: hair, glands and nails
- · Hair follicle
- · Skin glands
- · Nails
- Mammary gland: the crest and milky lines
- Synthesis of integumentary correlations
- Sense Organs
- The eye: vesicle and optic cup
- Lens, retina and vitreous body
- · Crystalline
- · Retina
- · Vitreous body and transient vascularization
- Eye robes, cameras and annexes
- Synthesis of ocular correlations
- The inner ear: the otic vesicle
- Middle and external ear: the role of the pharyngeal arches
- · Middle ear
- · External ear
- Synthesis of auditory correlations
- Olfaction: olfactory placode, nose and sinuses
- Taste and language: papillae, buttons and triple innervation
- Integration: three ectodermal lineages, a repertoire of defects
