Question 29
Brief Explanations
- The pineal gland develops from the diencephalon (neuroectoderm).
- The anterior lobe of the pituitary (adenohypophysis) develops from the ectoderm of Rathke's pouch (oral ectoderm), and the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis) develops from the neuroectoderm of the diencephalon.
- The adrenal medulla develops from the neural crest (ectoderm).
- The thyroid gland develops from the endoderm of the floor of the pharynx (thyroid diverticulum), and the parathyroid glands (superior and inferior) develop from the endoderm of the fourth and third pharyngeal pouches respectively.
Brief Explanations
- Serous fluid is a general term for fluids like that in body cavities (e.g., pleural, peritoneal).
- Endolymph is in the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear.
- Synovial fluid is in synovial joints.
