CH. 12 Fetal development: Notes Flashcards
developing embryo is known as
blastocyst
ova and sperm =?
zygote
Fertilization location= ?
ampulla of Fallopian tubes
X chromosome from mom, what from dad
x or y
6-10 days after fertilization
implantation, blastocyst burrows into endometrium
outer layer of blastocyst that develops into chorionic villi
trophoblast
length of pregnancy
280 days / 40 weeks
establishment of germ layers occurs
during pre embryonic or ovum stage/ day 1-14
primary germ layers
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
all tissues and organs develop from
germ layers
chorion covers
fetal side of placenta
epidermis, glands, ant. pituitary systems, nails, hair, CNS and PNS develop from
ectoderm
bones, teeth, skeletal muscles, smooth muscle, cardiac system, GU system
mesoderm
resp, GI, liver, pancreas, urethra, bladder, vagina, and formation of roof of yolk sac
endoderm
2 fetal membranes surrounding fetus
chorion (fetal side) and amnion (mom side)
maintains constant temp for fetus, cushions the fetus from trauma, source of oral fluid and repository for waste, allows freedom of movement for development and symetric growth, acts as a barrier to infection, allows fetal lungs to develop
amniotic fluid
Too little amniotic fluid 300 cc is oligohydramnios
renal abnormalities
Too much amniotic fluid polyhydramnious(2L) can cause
GI abnormalities
