embroyonic development :) Flashcards
what does human development start out as
oocyte (single cell)
how long does human development take
38 wks
3 trimesters
what are the 3 trimester stages called
pre-embryonic period
embryonic period
fetal period
what occurs in pre embroyonic period and time
embryonic germ layers formed(make the basic tissues needed to form the organism)
0-2.5 wks
embryonic period and time
2.5-8wks
rudiments of most organims and tissues develop
fetal period and time
8wk to 9mn
rudiments grow and mature
called a foetus
what has to form early on
heart and CVS system to push nutrients around the body
what can embroyonic cells do
divide
death (remove cell by apotosis)
fixed/motile (chemical gradients may cause movements)
shape change(may be needed to form polarised cells)
specilalise
what is cleavage
series of cell divisions that subdivides the cytoplasm
what occurs in pre embryonic development
cleavage
morula formation
blastocyte formation
during cleavage…
size of the blastomere stays the same
no cells increases
what is a morula
ball of 16 cells
what happens to the morula
takes up fluid and hollows out to form a blastocyte
what forms the extra emmbryonic structres
trophoblast
what surrounds the blastocyte after 5/6 days and purpose
zona pallucida
prevent sperm entering early
what is found in the blastocyte
inner cell mass (figure of 8 shape)
form the embyro
what does the pre embryo appear as
bilaminar disk (2 cell layers)
what are the 2 layers of the pre embryo
epiblast (upper layer, columnar cells)
hypoblast (lower layer, cuboidal cells)
what occurs after the pre embryo is formed
gastrulation
what is gastrulation
where the 3rd germ layer is formed
gastrulation process steps
epiblast cells move towards the primitive streak(accross the embryonic disk) and invaginate to displace the hypoblast cells
some epilast cells detach and move betwee the epiblast and hypoblast layer
notochord fomration
