Definitions Flashcards
The formation of body structures, organs, requires cell division, cell differentiation
Embryogenesis
Study of the prenatal development of an organism
Embryology
Formation of body structures and organs
Organogenesis
Cell division
Proliferation
Cell differentiation
Specialization
Branch of embryology that deals with the cause and results of abnormal development or congenital malformation.
Teratology
Result of cells expressing some genes and suppressing others within a common genome.
Cell differentiation
Abnormality arise during prenatal development
Congenital malformation or congenital defect
Cell division that results in two daughter cells having diploid number of chromosomes that are identical to the parent cell.
Mitosis
Cell differ because they produce different proteins such as:
Structural composition Enzymes Secretory products Channels and pumps Receptors
Developmental disturbance that involves an organ or portion of an organ
Anomaly
Where is the non mitotic cell located in?
Interphase stage
Chromosomes condense and become visible; nuclear membrane disappears under the light microscope.
Prophase
Individual, double-chromatid chromosomes align randomly at the equatorial region between centrioles.
Metaphase
Two chromatids per chromosome separate as the centromere divides and each chromatid becomes a chromosome in a new nucleus
Anaphase
