Cardiac embryology Flashcards
How many hrs for a 2 cell stage cell to form?
30 hrs post fertilization
Sperm + oocyte =
Zygote (cell division)
How many hrs for a 4 stage cell to form?
40hrs post fertilization
How many hrs for a 12-16 cell stage to form?
72 hrs or 3 days post fertilization
Series of mitosis division in which cells increase in number and become smaller with each division is called what?
Blastomeres
Cells are loosely arranged until what cell stage?
8 cell stage
After the 3 rd cleavage, cells have maximized contact with each other and what occurs?
Compaction
Cells in compaction separate into what type of cells?
Inner and outer cells
16 stage cells is called what?
Morula
Inner cells =
Inner cell mass ( which will become the embryo)
Outer cell =
Outer cell mass (which become trophoblast which will become the placenta)
When the morula makes its way through the uterus and enlarges it become what?
Blastocyst (4 1/2 to 5 days post fertilization)
Fertilization occurs in what region of the Fallopian tube?
Ampullary region
When the morula enters the uterine cavity, fluid penetrates into the intercellular spaces of the inner cell mass and the spaces become now a single cavity called?
Blastocele
A blastocyst is comprised of?
1) Trophoblast 2) Blastocele and 3) embryoblast
What is the trophoblast?
Made of cells from outer mass cells. Cells flatten and form epithelial wall of blastocyst
Blastocele
Internal fluid filled space
Embryoblast
Inner cell mass. Located at one pole
Implantation occurs at around what day?
6th day after fertilization
At day 8, blastocyst is partially embedded and trophoblast differentiate into two layers?
syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblasts
Chorion
One of the fetal membranes (syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblasts make part of chorion)
