Anatomy of Development

Question
Answer
Define embryo   Developing human during early stages of development  
🗑
Define zygote   following fertilization  
🗑
Define morula   12-32 blastomeres. embryo enters uterine tube  
🗑
Define conceptus   Entire products of fertilazation, embryo and placenta  
🗑
Define primordium   beginning of discernable organ or structure  
🗑
Define fetus   After embryo/8 weeks  
🗑
Define capacitation   destabilization of acrosome head following ejaculation in vagina  
🗑
Describe fertilization   1.sperm releases acrosin to digest zona pellucida 2. zona reaction occurs 3. fusion of PMs 4. oocyte completes meiosis II 5.formation of male pronucleus  
🗑
What is the pronuclei?   2 haploid nuclei within fertilized egg before they fuse together.  
🗑
What is Dispermy?   two sperms paricipate in fertilization = triploidy  
🗑
What happens to triploid embryos?   appear normal but abort spontaneously. triploid infants that are born die soon.  
🗑
Define syngamy   Chromosomes of parents mix  
🗑
What are the results of fertilisation   restoration of diploid, sex determination, initiation of cleavage  
🗑
Define blastomere   dividing cells which becomes smaller following fertilization  
🗑
Define compaction:   following 8-cell stage the blastomeres aligns against e/o  
🗑
Describe the parts of a morula   embryoblast-inner cell mass, tropoblast-outer cell mass.  
🗑
What gives rise to the placent?   trophoblast  
🗑
Define blastocyst   zona pellucida degenerates and blastocyst cavity forms filled with uterine fluid  
🗑
Describe the layers of a trophoblast following implantation   Cytotrophoblast-inner layer of cells, syncytiotrophoblast-outer layer extending through endometrial epithelium  
🗑
What hormone forms the basis for a pregnancy test?   human chorionic gonadotropin released by syncytiotrophoblast  
🗑
What happens to the embryoblast following implantation?   forms embyonic disk with two layers-epiblast and hypoblast  
🗑
Define decidual cells   uterine cells filled with glycogen and mucous that degrade and provide a source of nurishment for synctiotrophoblast.  
🗑
Define amniotic cavity   a small cavity that appears in the embryoblast in the epiblast  
🗑
Where is the exocoelomic cavity and membrane found and what does this part become?   inside hypoblast, membrane=hypoblast. Becomes the primary umbilical vesicle/yolk sac.  
🗑
Define the extraembryonic coelom   Surrounds amnion and umbilical vesicle except where attached to chorion  
🗑
What is derived from the extraembryonic coelom?   chorionic cavity  
🗑
Define connecting stalk   where extraembryonic mesoderm traverses through the chorionic cavity to develop into umbilical cord.  
🗑
Define secondary yolk sac   primitive yolk sac formed when cells from the hypoblast migrate inside exocoelomic membrane.  
🗑
Define ectopic pregnancy   blastocyst implants in the uterine tube  
🗑
What constitutes the 'morning after pill'   high doses of estrogen to prevent implantation  
🗑
Describe gastrulation   bilaminar disk becomes trilaminar disk. The epiblast and hypoblast give rise to ecto, endo and meso-derm  
🗑
What are the steps of gastrulation   1.primitive streak formation 2.epiblast cells migrate to primitive streak 3. epiblast cells invaginate spreading between epiblast and hypoblast 4. endo, meso and ecto-derm form from epiblast, hypoblast dissolves  
🗑
Describe the notochord formation   invagination of epiblast cells to form primitive pit, intercalate with hypoblast and proliferate and detach to form notochord  
🗑
What are the 3 divisions of the mesoderm?   lateral, intermediate, paraxial  
🗑
What does the lateral mesoderm give rise to?   visceral and parietal layer  
🗑
What does the intermediate mesoderm give rise to?   urogenital system  
🗑
What does the paraxial mesoderm give rise to?   somites-sclerotome, myotome, dermatome  
🗑
What are the two types of folding the embyro undergoes?   lateral-disc, cephalocaudal - head and tail  
🗑
