Early Craniate Morphogenesis Flashcards
Egg types according amount of yolk
a. microlecithal
b. mesolecithal
c. macrolecithal
-very little yolk
- amphioxus, therian mammals
microlecithal
- moderate amount of yolk
- amphibians
mesolecithal
- large amount of yolk
- reptiles, monotremes
macrolecithal
Egg types according to yolk distribution
a. isolecithal
b. telolecithal
- yolk is evenly distributed in the cytoplasm
- seen in microlecithal egg
isolecithal
- yolk is concentrated in one pole (vegetal pole_
- seen in mesolecithal ang macrolecithal eggs
telolecithal
opposite pole containing the nucleus and yolk free cytoplasm
animal pole
- animals that lay eggs (spawn)
- eggs contain sufficient amount of yolk and albumen
Oviparous
Oviparous
- eggs contain sufficient amount of yolk and albumen
to ___ the ___ into a free living
organisms that is able to take food orally
support, development
Oviparous macrolecithal
fully formed when hatched (birds)
Oviparous mesolecithal
young hatch in a larval stage (frog)
Oviparous microlecithal
young hatch in a free-living and self-nourishing stage (amphioxus)
animals that give birth to offspring
viviparous
type of viviparity
- mother only provides protection and oxygen, while nourishment stored in the egg (viviparous shark)
ovoviviparity
Type of viviparity where embryos are dependent on maternal tissues for nourishment, oxygen, secretion (placentals)
euviviparity
Trophotaeniae (trophe= ___, taenia= ___)
nutrition, band
- fertilization takes place within the body of the female
(viviparous craniates) - Eggs are covered by impenetrable shell before being
extruded (reptiles)
internal fertilization
___ ___ is needed to introduce sperm into the
female reproductive tract.
intromittent organ
- millions of sperm cells are shed over the eggs as the eggs
are being extruded - Oviparous fishes, frogs and toads
external fertilization
Process of Life
Gamete formation > Fertilization > Cleavage > Gastrulation > Organ formation > Growth, Tissue Specialization
Repeated mitotic cell division of the zygote
Cleavage or segmentation
Cleavage and blastula
* embryo experience little or no
___ in size
* multicelled
and hollow sphere
or ___ is formed
growth, blastula
cells resulting from the early cleavage division of the ovum
blastomeres
cavity of blastula
blastocoele
Types of Cleavage
- Holoblastic cleavage
- Meroblastic cleavage
- Discoidal cleavage
cleavage where yolk is sparse (microlecithal)
Holoblastic cleavage
Holoblastic cleavage
*mitotic furrow ____ from animal to
vegetal pole
* microlecithal
* mesolecithal
- pass through the entire zygote
- blastomere are equal size
- yolk-laden cells in vegetal pole divide slower and larger
cleavage where yolk is plentiful (macrolecithal) cell division is impeded by the presence of yolk
Meroblastic
extensive yolk material at vegetal pole remains undivided by mitotic furrows
discoidal cleavage
Mechanism of cleavage (LIICF)
- localize expansion of cortex
- increased stiffness of cortical cytoplasm
- increased tangential force
- contractile nature of region near cortex
- formation of new cell membrane
____ follows fertilization
cleavage
