Embryology Flashcards
Day 2
Zygote
Day 3, enters uterus as a?
Morula
Implantation day?
Day 6
When does HCG production begin?
After implantation of the blastocyst
Embryonic Period
Weeks 3-8; neural tube formed by neuroectoderm closes by week 4; organogenesis; very susceptible to teratogens
Heart begins to beat? Limb buds formed?
Week 4
When does fetal period begin?
week 8
male/ female external genitalia?
week 10
process that forms the trilaminar embryonic disc
gastrulation
secretes mullerian inhibitory factor to suppress paramesonephric ducts
Sertoli
androgens stimulate development of ..
mesonephric ducts (Wolffian)
Gubernaculum
Male?
Female?
M - anchors testes within scrotum
F - ovarian ligament + round ligament of uterus
Males: evagination of peritoneum forms?
Tunica Vaginalis
Urine through belly button of infant
patent urachus
outpouching of bladder at apex
vesicourachal diverticulum
connects small intestine to skin at the umbilius
persistent yolk sac (vitilline duct)
Incomplete obliteration of the vitilline duct
Meckel diverticulum
intestines outside fetus
gastroshisis
time that has passed since the onset of the last menstruation, which generally or as standard occurs 2 weeks before the actual fertilization.
Gestational age
Embyronic period?
Gestational till week 10
embyronal till week 8
formation of 75% of identical twins?
Day 4-8 between morula and blastocyst stage
Usually monochorion, diamniotic
hernia
male infants, enters inguinal ring lateral to inferior epigastric vessels; persistend processus vaginalis & failure of internal inguinal ring to close
Indirect inguinal
hernia, older men; bulges through Hasselbach’s triangle, medial to inferior epigastric vessels to reach external inguinal ring; weakness of transversalis fascia
direct inguinal
hernia - women
protrudes through femoral ring, medial to femoral vessels, inferior to the inguinal ligament
Femoral hernia
Failure of paramesonephric ducts to fuse results in 2 separate vaginas, cervises, uteran horns
uterus didelphys
Contains the uterine vessels
Attaches cervix to lateral walls of the pelvis
Cardinal ligament
Contains ovarian vessels
Attaches ovaries to lateral pelvic wall
suspensory ligament of the ovaries
Contains the artery of Sampson
from gubernaculum
Round ligament of the urterus
Female gubernaculum >
ligament of the ovary and round ligament of the uterus
glucoprotein membrane that surrounds the egg
zona pellucida
granolsa cells around the primary oocyte
cumulus oophorus
egg - 2N, 4C
primary oocyte - all eggs in this state by 6 months
State of egg after ovulation?
secondary oocyte 1N, 2C (arrested in metaphase II, to separate sister chromatids at fertilization)
