Question
Answer
Embryology   show
🗑
show - fertilization in lateral third of uterine tube - zygote (fertilized oocyte) moves toward uterus - cleavage: daughter cells form zygote  
🗑
show - zygote - 4 cell - morula: solid cluster of 12-16 cells - early blastocyst - late blastocyst (implantation at this stage)  
🗑
show - fluid filled structure of about 60 cells - inner cell mass: forms embryo - trophoblast: helps form placenta  
🗑
Week 2   show
🗑
Primitive streak   show
🗑
show - process of embryo growing from 2-layered disc (epiblast and hypoblast) to three layered disc with 3 germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm) which are all derived from epiblast  
🗑
Week 3: Formation of germ layers   show
🗑
Notochord   show
🗑
show - neural plate: ectoderm in dorsal midline thickens to form neural plate - neural groove: ectoderm of neural plate folds inward until hollow neural tube is pinched off into body  
🗑
show - ability of one group of cells to influence developmental direction of other cells - example: notochord signals that stimulate surrounding ectoderm to form brain & spinal cord  
🗑
show - cranial part becomes the brain, rest becomes the spinal cord - closure of neural tube begins in week 3 and usually ends by week 4  
🗑
show - cells originate from ectodermal cells on lateral ridges of neural plate - forms sensory nerve cells which are positioned just external to closed neural tube  
🗑
Somites   show
🗑
show - area of mesoderm that forms just lateral to neural tube on both sides - starting cranially and proceeding caudally, divides into series of blocks called somites  
🗑
Intermediate mesoderm   show
🗑
Lateral plate   show
🗑
show - becomes serous body cavities for peritoneal, pericardial, pleural cavities  
🗑
show - embryo folds laterally and head and tail - primitive gut emerges: site of future digestive and respiratory structures  
🗑
Fetal period   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
