Embryo Test 1 Flashcards
Decidual reaction
Endometrium cells SWELL as they will with glycogen and lipids,
Provide nutrients to embryo
Capacitation rxn
Sperm undergo a 7 hr period of maturation within ISTHMUS of uterine tube
Zona rxn
Sperm make oocyte impermeable so other spermies cannot get in
Acrosome rxn
Sperm release enzymes thru acrosome to penetrate thru corona radiata
Physical function of hCG
Maintains corpus luteum of pregnancy
Clinical function of hCG
Positive pregnancy test. Tells u implantation has occurred
Bilaminar disc layers
Epi/ hypo blast
What separates the epiblast from the amnion
Amnioblast
Day 13/ 14 are characterized by:
Development of chorionic villi (site of gas and nutrient exchange within the placenta)
What does the extraembryonic coelom divide the extraembryonic mesoderm into
Extraembryonic somatic mesoderm
Extraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm
What does the extraembryonic somatic mesoderm give rise to
Lining of cytotrophoblast and amnion
What does the extraembryonic splanchinc mesoderm give rise to
Lining umbilical vesicle
Chorion is formed by :
Extraembryonic somatic mesoderm
Cytotrophoblast
Synctytiotrophoblast
Suspended within the chorionic sac by the connecting stalk are the:
Embryo
Amniotic sac
Umbilical vesicle
What divides the chorionic cavity
Extraembryonic coelom
Day 14- the ____ cells in one area of Bilaminar disc elongate to form _____
Hypoblast, prechordal plate
What does the prechordal plate form
Mouth, but important for development of head
Where do BV’s first appear
Connecting stalk,
Chorion,
Umbilical vesicle
What is the name for the hamburger drawing / what does it consist of
“Conceptus” (embryo + assoc. membranes)
Top bun=amniotic sac
Buns = bilaminar disc
Bottom bun= umbilical vesicle
All in chorionic sac
Chorion surrounds
CONNECTING STALK connects hamburger to chorionic sac
What is an ectopic pregnancy
Abnormal implantation anywhere outside the uterine cavity
Types of ectopic pregnancies discussed in class (and the most common)
1.) ectopic tubal pregnancy (MOST COMMON)
2.) ectopic abdominal pregnancy
3.) ectopic cervical pregnancy
4.) ectopic mesenteric pregnancy
5.) primary ovarian pregnancy
What is ectopic tubal pregnancy
Implantation occurs in uterine tube
What is ectopic abdominal pregnancy
Implantation in rectouterine pouch
What is ectopic cervical pregnancy
Implantation in cervical canal
What is ectopic mesenteric pregnancy
Implantation in mesentery of small intestine
What is primary ovarian pregnancy
Implantation in ovary
What is a spontaneous abortion
Aka miscarriage, occurs within the first 3 weeks after fertilization
What causes most spontaneous abortions
Chromosomal abnormalities
When is spontaneous abortion most likely? Teratogenesis?
Spontaneous abortion- within the first 3 weeks
Teratogenesis- week 3-8, high spike at week 5
What is special about week 3 of development
Trilaminar disc aka 3 germ layers
1st event of week 3
Gastrulation
What is gastrulation
Bi to tri laminar disc
What does the bi to tri laminar disc (gastrulation ) begin with
Primitive streak in epiblast
What is a key process during gastrulation
Morphogenesis: the development of the body starts to form
Describe the process of the primitive streak in gastrulation
Cells of epiblast migrate toward primitive streak and move inward beneath it (invagination)
Which germ layer(s) replace the hypoblast
Endoderm
What layer of bilamiar disc is source of all germ layers
The epiblast
What color represents endoderm
Yellow
Color that represents mesoderm
Red
Color that represents ectoderm
Blue
When does primitive streak disappear
By the end of the 4th week
What is the 2nd major event of week 3
Notochord formation
The notochord process consists of what germ layer
Mesoderm
When direction does the notochord grow
Cranially
What represents the future site of the oral cavity
Oropharyngeal membrane
What represents the future site of the Anus
Cloacal membrane
Cranial and caudal end of primitive streak:
Cranial: prechordal plate
Caudal:cloacal membrane
By the middle of the 3rd week, mesoderm separates endoderm/ectoderm everywhere except..
Opopharyngeal membrane (cranial)
Cloacal membrane (caudal)
** ECTO/ENDODERM =. FUSED, preventing entrance of mesoderm **
Where does the notochord come from
Notochordal plate
Importance of the notochord:
1.) defines the longitudinal axis of the embryo
2.) provides rigidity to the embryo
3.) forms the central part of the intervertebral discs (nucleus pulposus.. gel-like)
4.)signaling center for development in early embryo
T/F the notochord degenerates as the vertebral bodies grow
True, only thing left is the nucleus pulposus
What is the third major process in week 3
Neurulation
What is neurulation
Formation of neural tube
