Q

Fertilization Cortical reaction #4

A

Ca++ is released from the Endo Reticulum. Cortical granules in the egg fuse with the plasma membrane. Sperm bind receptors are removed and fertilization envelope forms.

30
Q

Amphibians

A

Half aquatic, half terrestrial
Evolved from lobe finned fish that live in brackish, salty, water as in coastal wetlands.
Frogs, salamanders, toads, newts, and caecilians.
Moist skin is essential, for gas exchange. Some even lack lungs.
External fertilization. No amnion. Close circulatory system. Three chambered heart (2 atria, 1 ventricle).

31
Q

Reptiles

A

Turtle, crocodilians, lizards, snakes.
Closed circulatory system. Bony exoskeleton and scaly skin. Have an amnion.
As amniotes they have terrestrially adapted eggs. Internal fertilization. Most have 3 chambered hearts, Crocs and allis have 4.

32
Q

Birds descend from ____

A

Reptiles during the Jurassic times.

33
Q

The Jurassic periods was part of the ___________ Era.

A

Mesozoic.

Most modern era: Cenozoic Era.

34
Q

Ectoderm

A

Epidermis, glands on skin, some cranial bones, pituitary and adrenal medulla, the nervous system, the mouth between cheek and gums, and the anus.
Skin cells, neurons, nails, hair, and pigment cells.

35
Q

Mesoderm

A

Connective tissues, bone, cartilage, blood, endothelium of blood vessels, muscle, synovial membranes, serious membranes lining body cavities, kidneys, lining of gonads. Connective tissues, notochord, dermis of skin,

36
Q

Endoderm

A

Lining of the airways and digestive system except the mouth, rectum, and anal canal. Glands. Lungs, thyroid, and pancreas.

37
Q

Organogenesis

A

Move of cells occurred in gastrulation, note the U shape structure. More shape change.

38
Q

Which stages have the greatest shape changes in embryology?

A

Gastrulation and organogenesis.

39
Q

Organogenesis in vertebrates

A
  1. Condensing of mesoderm forms the notochord. This is a rod of stiffened tissues that serves as a support structure in all chordates.
  2. Neural plate forms from the ectoderm and rolls into the neural tube becoming the CNS (brain and spinal chord).
  3. Somites are formed. Representing blocks of mesoderm which form vertebrae and muscles. Somites arrange along the notochord.
40
Q

Amniotes

A

Birds, reptiles, and mammals. All contain a fluid filled sac called an amnion.
Extraembryonic membranes: Found in most shelled eggs. Located outside the embryo:
1) Yolk sac
2) Amnion
3) Chorion
4) Allantois

41
Q

Yolk Sac

A

Encloses the yolk; provides needed nutrients

42
Q

Chorion

A

Gas exchange, forms part of the placenta

43
Q

Amnion

A

Absorbs shocks, keep embryo from drying out

44
Q

Allantois

A

Disposes Nitrogen waste and gas exchange.

O2 and nutrient transport in humans.

Capable of developing into many cell types, not extraembryonic tissues.
Stem cells

47
Q

Implantation

A

Occurs in the endomtrium of the uterus and occurs before end of the first week.
The blastocyst is what adheres to the endometrium.

48
Q

The blastocyst is what adheres to the endometrium.

A

Blastocyst is the mammalian version of a blastula.

49
Q

The mammalian egg is…

A

Smaller compared to birds and reptiles. A human embryo is not in a shell, nor nourished by yolk, but does have a yolk sac. This sac plays a role in forming the digestive tract.

50
Q

The umbilical cord will connect

A

the human embryo to parts of the yolk sac, allantois, and amnion. The umbilical cord is high vascular.

51
Q

The chorion develops around

A

The embryo and secretes the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone responsible for maintaining the corpus luteum.

52
Q

The corpus luteum secretes

A

Proteserone during the first trimester.

53
Q

After the first trimester

A

The placenta takes over to produce progesterone and estrogen(steroid hormones).

54
Q

1st Trimester

A

Most growth and differentiation, most sensitive to radio and drug toxicity. Main period for organogenesis. After 8 weeks the embryo is a fetus.

55
Q

Outer layer of the blastocyst

A

Trophoblast, grows within the endometrium to form the placenta.

56
Q

Viviparous development

A

Young are born alive after being nourished in the uterus from the placenta.

57
Q

Oviparous

A

Young hatch from eggs laid outside the mother

58
Q

2nd trimester

A

All major organs formed. Corpus luteum now deteriorates as levels of hCG decrease since placenta now takes over progesterone and estrogen supply.

59
Q

3rd Trimester

A

8 months the fetus can survive on its own.

60
Q

What is a homeotic gene?

A

Regulatory genes responsible for the placement and spatial organization of body parts in animals, plants and fungi.
