Chap 15 (repro) Flashcards
(Embryonic development) Fertilization
1+1=1
Egg+sperm=zygote
•one succeeds sperm… depolarizes egg to shut off access for other sperms
•23 chromosomes pairs
- Cleavage and implantation
Egg is FERTILIZED
•moves through oviduct travelling towards uterus
-mitosis (cell division) up to 8 cells
•no enlargement of cells=cleavage
16 cells
• a morula
-reached uterus 3-5 days after fertilization and diffuses
2 different groups FORM of the BLASTOCYST
- -trophoblast
- Inner cell mass
-both part of blastocyst
Blastocyst
Spherical structure “germ pouch”
•hollow pouch for new cellular development
Group 1: tropoblast
•nourishment •outer layer of blastocyst -membrane develops into CHORION •chorion——placenta development -provides nutrient, 02 and waste removal
Group 2: inner cell mass
-inner layer of blastocyst
•develops into the embryo ITSELF
-positions against endometrium
5th-7th day will attach to endometrium and sink into wall
Implantation
Nestling of the BLASTOCYST into the endometrium
•complete at 10th to 14 th day
-woman is PREGNANT
Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG)
Same effects as LH
•maintains corpus luteum past degeneration time
•estrogen and progesterone secrete
-prevents menstruation
-placenta secretes sufficient nutrients but corpus is less important
Embryonic disk
Inner cell mass FLATTENS to form a disk shaped structure when amniotic fluid forms
•connects blastocyst to endometrium
-2-3 layes (ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm)
3 germ layers
Ectoderm: outer layer (closest to amniotic cavity)
Endoderm: inner layer
Mesoderm: develops later between ectoderm and endoderm
Gastrulation
Process of FORMING these 3 layers
-SECOND WEEK
3 layers
Developing embryo: gastrula
-organs tissues and cell body derived
•to do with gastrulation
Morphogenesis
Gastrulation starts this process
•series of events that form distinct structures of an organism
•cells of embryo to become different cells like arms
Differentiation
Cellular process enables a cell to develop particular SHAPE and functions that are different from other cells
Neuralation
Process of forming the NEURAL tube marks start of organ formation
•spinal and brain formation
-heart begins to form
-18th day is heartbeat
