Early development Flashcards
Zygote
Morula?
Blastomere
Newly fertilized ovum after mitotic divisions
Compaction
?
Morula
Compacted balstomeres - a.k.a zygote
Enters uterus, 3rd/4th day after fertilization
Blastocyst
Morula that has entered uterus
has a cavity, and inner (future embryo) and outer layers (trophoblast)
Trophoblast
Outer cell layer of blastocyst
Bilaminar germ disc
?
CLeavage
Mitotic Divisions
Gastrulation
development of ecto, endo, meso derm from epiblast
Ectoderm = forms what
Neural plate - nervous system,
Primitive Spinal cord
**sensory epithelium all over body outside body
Mesoderm = forms what
Somites
=Vertebral Column & Tendons/Cartilage/Bone
=Muscle
=Connective Tissue
Urogential Structures
Lining of intraembryonic Cavity and organs
Primordial Germ Cells - location
Wall of Yolk Sac
migrate to Gonadal Ridge
Fertilization preparation
Spermatozoon must penetrate corona radiata, zona pellucida and oocyte cell membrane
Fertilization result
Restoration of diploid number of chromosones, determination of sex and intiation of cleavage
Fertilization location
ampulla of uterine tube
