Q

What is ovulation?

A
  • Egg released from ovaries and travels through fallopian tube
  • Uterus prepares to receive egg - wall thickens

Q

What is the trophoblast?

A

A thin layer of cells that helps a developing embryo attach to the wall of the uterus, protects the embryo, and forms a part of the placenta.

Q

What is gastrulation?

Q

What is the primitive streak?

17
Q

How do the three cell layers form?

A

Some ectodermal cells are induced to differentiate and migrate through the primitive streak, towards the hypoblast

These new cells are the mesoderm

An unknown interaction between the newly formed mesoderm and the hypoblast will form the endoderm

23
Q

What is mesenchyme?

A

the meshwork of embryonic connective tissue from which all other connective tissues of the body are formed, including cartilage and bone

24
Q

What is the neural crest derived from?

A

ectoderm

25
Q

What does the neural crest have characteristics of despite being derived from another part?

A

mesenchyme

26
Q

What is meant by the ‘trilaminar’ embryo?

A

embryo which exists as three different germ layers - the ectoderm, the mesoderm and the endoderm.

27
Q

At around how many days does the embryo fold round the yolk sac, and some important organs appear?

A

25 days

28
Q

When is the embryo called a foetus?

A

week 8

29
Q

What are stem cells?

A

undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into many cell types

30
Q

pluripotent (3 cell layers)

31
Q

What is the difference between the embryonic stem cell types?

A

pluripotent (able to give rise to all cell types in an adult- more restricted)

totipotent (able to give rise to all embryonic and adult lineages).

32
Q

What can adult stem cells differentiate into?

A

committed cell lines such as bone marrow

33
Q

What are the layers of embryo from out to in?

A

ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm

34
Q

What does ectoderm give rise to?

A

skin
mucous membranes of mouth and anus
brain, spinal cord
tooth enamel

35
Q

What does mesoderm give rise to?

A

connective tissue
most muscle
blood vessels
kidney and urinary system
reproductive system
serous membranes

36
Q

What does the endoderm give rise to?

A

alimentary canal
respiratory system
parts of urogenital system

37
Q

What is the name of the fourth layer of the embryo?

A

ectomesenchyme

38
Q

What does the ectomesenchyme give rise to?

A

PNS
melanocytes
adrenal medulla
most of mesenchyme in head
dentine, cementum, PDL, jaw bones

39
Q

What occurs if there is a developmental abnormality in the first 2 weeks of pregnancy?

A

spontaneous abortion

40
Q

At what week do teeth begin to develop?

A

6

41
Q

At what week do deciduous teeth fully form?

A

9

42
Q

What happens if there is a developmental abnormality in weeks 3-12 (first trimester) of pregnancy?

A

development defect -period of critical sensitivity

43
Q

What ‘period’ is weeks 13-39 of pregnancy?

A

functional maturity

44
Q

What week does gastrulation occur?

A

week 3
