EMBRYOGENESIS Flashcards
it is the formation of body structure and organs
embryogenesis
production of great variety of cell type and extracellular product is through?
- cell division
- cell differentiation
this results from cells expressing some genes and suppressing others within a common genome
cell differentiatiom
Time frame of the embryonic period
fertilization to earliest stage of organ devt.
time frame of fetal period
embryonic period to parturition
a series of mitotic division where large zygote id fractionated to many normal sized cells
cleavage
where does the cleavage begins?
zygote
term for the daughter cell resulting from cleavage
blastomere
T/F
blastomere are equal in size
False
unequal
A solid ball pf blastomeres within the ZP
Morula
how many blastomere does the morula have?
16-64
time of the 1st cleavage division (days)
1-5 days post ovulation
time frame of subsequent division of the 1st cleavage division
once every 12 hours
how many blastomeres are needed for embryo production?
approx 3 inner blastomere
they have identical potential in dom. mammals
First 8 blastomere
what stage of blastomere is differentiated into inner and outer cells?
more than 8 blastomere stage
what are the three types of twinning?
- monozygotic
- dizygotic
- polar body twins
