Ch. 3 fetal development Flashcards
how many chromosomes are in each body cell. how are they broken down
46
22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes
Teratogens
things in medicine that cause damage to growing cells
Mitosis
cell division for replacing dead cells and growing. makes cells with 46 chromosomes
the diploid number of chromosomes
46 in a body cell
spermatogenesis
process of mitosis in the sperm
oogenesis
mitosis in the ovum
Meiosis
cell division where reproductive cells under go 2 divisions reducing the number of chromosomes to 23
the haploid number of chromosomes
23, sex cells
when does meiosis happen in the sperm
before it reaches the fallopian tube
when does meiosis happen in the ovum
when it is fertalized
Gametogenesis
the formation of gametes by meiosis
How many sperm are made by one spermatocyte
4
Where does fertilization occur
the outer third of the Fallopian tube near the ovary
How long does an ovum survive
24 hrs after ovulation
What in the female effects gender
pH and estrogen
When does the male embryo differentiate
6-7 weeks
When does testosterone secretion begin in reproduction
8 weeks
what is needed for female gonads to form
presence of estrogen and absence of testosterone
When do female gonads develop ovaries
6-8 weeks
Recessive disorder
alteration of defect in one gene
Dominant disorder
defect in both genes
if only one gene is normal what are the chances of developing a disorder
50%
How is a zygote formed
when a sperm and egg combine
what happens when a zygote is transported through the fallopian tube
rapid mitosis or cleavage but, the size doesn’t change just the number of cells
cleavage
begins with 2 cells that divide into 4 then 8 to make blastomere
Morula
the solid ball formed by cleavage
morula
enters uterus on third day and hangs out for 2-4 days before forming a cavity with 2 layers
Blastocyst
the inner layer of a morula, solid mass, turns into embryo and embryonic membrane
Trophoblast
outer layer that becomes the embryonic membrane, the chorion
Where does the zygote usually implant
in the upper part of the posterior uterine wall
Decidua
the endometrium after the zygote implants
Decidua basalis
area under the blastocyst that becomes the maternal placenta
What happens after implantation
the cells differentiate and develop special functions
What appears after implantation
chorion
amnion
yolk sac
primary germ layers
chorion
- what does it develop from
- what does it do
- what is it
- the trophoblast
- envelops the amnion, embryo and yolk sac and form the embryonic or fetal portion of the placenta
- thick membrane with villi
amnion
- what is it
- what does it do
- what does it from
- second membrane that meets the inside of the chorion
- covers and protects the embryo
- boundaries of the amniotic cavity
amniotic sac
the chorion and amnion together
describe amniotic fluid
clear
mild odor
contains bits of vernix and lanugo
vernix
fetal skin covering
lanugo
fetal hair on the skin
how much amniotic fluid
- 10 weeks
- 20 weeks
- 37 week
- 30 mL
- 350 mL
- 1000 mL
How much amniotic fluid per day does a fetus swallow
400 mL
Functions of amniotic fluid
- maintain termperture
- prevents sac from sticking to skin
- allows symmetrical growth
- allows fetal movement
- acts as protection
When does the yolk sac form and where
9th day
in the blastocyst
when does the yolk sac function and what does it do
about 6 weeks until liver takes over
initiates RBC production
