lecture 6
Prenatal growth and development
Pre-natal growth
- starts as son as egg divides
- fertalization occures in fallopian tubes
- fertalized ovum is considered an embryo after implants in uterus
- embryo considered a fetus once there is full differentation of the tissues
Pre-natal growth Phases?
Oocyte
Blastocyst
Embryonic
Fetal
Oocyte
- occures in fallopian tuve
- Oocyte cleavage, cytoplasim provides energy
Blastocyst
Morula changes to blastocyst
- hyperplasic growth continues
- blastocelic cavity forms
Embryonic
Blastocyst implanted in uterus and gasturlation and tubulation occurs
Fetal
Tissues differentiated
- rapid differential growth
- alot of alometric growth
other pre-natal growth
- placental growth, grows from embryo
- uterine growth
Earily cell division
in oviduct-2-8 cells in 3 divisions
at uterus, 16 celll morula
-2 more divisions-morula change to blastocyst(64 cels)
-inner cell mass is at one cell of blastocyst from where the embryo is generated
formation of blastocyst
Morula (16 cells) → 36 cells → 64 cells → Blastocysyst
Blastocyst parts
- Blastocele
- Trophectoderm-(single layer of cells aroind outside)
- Zona pellucida -around very outside, helps from implanting
- Inner Cell Mass(at one side)
Shedding of the Zona pellucida
- ruptures due to blastocyst growth or enzymes
- if it doesnt hatch blastocyst dies
ICM
inner cell mass
RL
Ruber’s Layer(trophectoderm cells over inner cell mass)
T
-trophecdoerms cells(shed around inner cell mass
H
-primitive endoderm
before and during elongation
before endoderm and mesoderm start to form
endoderm migrates along trophectoderm
-mesoderm grows between trophectoderm and endoderm
-mesoderm forms a cavity with half connected to trophectoderm forms chorion
Bovine conceptus day 14
Inner cell mass has now become a disc, can start to see differentiation of cells
Gastrulation
- true differentiation occurs
- morphogenesis
- formation of separate endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm
- conceptus becomes embryo
- placenta begins to form
Differentiation in 3 ares
Endoderm
mesoderm(sometimes)
ectoderm
Endoderm differentiation
– Respiratory system – Middle ear – throat – Esophagus – Liver, pancreas – Allantois – Urinary bladder – Primary sex cells (ova)
Mesoderm differentation
– Head (skull, cranial and facial muscles, eye) – Skeleton – Skeletal muscles – Reproductive tract – Heart – Major blood and lymph vessels – Kidneys – Parietal cavity lining – Tendons, ligaments, cartilage, adipose
Ectoderm differentation
– Glands (mammary, sweat) – Epithelium – Anal canal – Teeth enamel – Mouth epithelium – Nasal and olfactory nerves and epithelium – Lens of eye – Inner ear mechanism – Brain – Central nervous system – Hair, hooves, horns

prenatal growth and development (2)
Four Stages of Implantation
Pre-attachment
Appostion
Adhesion(loosley attached
attachment (firmly attached)
Pre-attachment
- Blastocyst
- Zona pellucida is shed
- Elongation occurs
- IFNT is released - increase in endometrium lining
- Conceptus lives off secretions from the endometrium
- Endometrium produces glandular epithelium
- Mucin in uterus prevents adhesion from occurring
Apposition
- IFNT releases mucin making uterus better for conception
- Positioning itself getting ready to adhere
- Trophoblast = conceptus
- Conceptus produecs papillae that go into GE where there is lots of nutrients
- Conceptus increases surface so it can absorb more nutrients
Adheasion
- Trophoblast cells change to more functional cells
- Cells are binucleate (precursor to sincytial plaques) which are a gateway for fetus and maternal junctions
- Increase in proteins (integrins) that connect cells together
- Connection between conceptus cell wall on uterine cell at embryonic disc where inner cell mass was
- Hormone change in mother
- Increase in progesterone maintains pregnancy
- Prevents ovulation
- Comes from corpus luteum
- Sustained progesterone down-regulates progesterone level
- Loss of progesterone down regulates MUC2, down regulating mucin production
- Implantation can occur
- Integrins (glycolipids and glycoproteins) are a part of bonding between conceptus and endometrial lining
Attachment
• Early embryonic death significant because of low reproductive efficiency in farm animals • Embryonic death can be caused by: o High temperature o Disease o Poor nutrition o High production requirements
