Development and Disorder Flashcards
describe developmental biology
the study of the processes by which organs grow and develop
what is the process in which an undifferentiated cell is instructed by specific organisers to produce a morphogenic effect?
induction
what state are stem cells in?
undifferentiated
when is the preimplantation period?
first week
when is the embryonic period?
week 2-8
when is the fetal period?
week 3- month 9
what events occur during preimplantation?
fertilisation
implantation
what events occur during the embryonic week?
induction
proliferation
differentiation
morphogenesis
maturation
what events occur during fetal period?
maturation
what is the action of one group of cells on another that leads to the establishment of the developmental pathway in the responding tissue?
induction
what is controlled cellular growth and accumulation of byproducts?
proliferation
what is the change in identical embryonic cells to become distinct structurally and functionally?
differentiation
what is the development of specific tissue structure or differing form dye to embryonic cell migration or proliferation and inductive interactions?
morphogenesis
what is the attainment of adult function and size due to proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis?
maturation
what physiologic processes/ spatial and temporal events occur during the embryonic period?
patterning
during the embryonic period, what develops into an embryo?
the blastocyst
