EMBRYOLOGY Flashcards
define embryology
study of embryo
another term for embryology
study of prenatal development
prenatal is divided into
embryology state and fetal stage
1st week from week 2-8 after fertilization is called?
embryo
after week 8 which is week 9 we call it?
fetus
from week 0-8 its called?
embryology
define ontogeny
state of development , healthy and normal individual
define teratology
due to malformation , abnormal development
meiosis is for
gamet cell division
mitosis is for
somatic cell division
in meiosis its 1 diploid cell undergoes how many rounds of division and produces how many cells
undergoes 2 rounds to produce 4 haploid cells.
in meiosis is the 4 haploid cells similar to the mother cell
no due to the cross over that happens in prophase I
in mitosis its 1 diploid cell undergoes how many rounds of division and produces how many cells
undergoes 1 round to produce 2 diploid cells
in mitosis is the 2 diploid cells similar to the mother cell
yes but smaller in size
define gametogenesis
formation and development of the sperm and ovum and reduction in number of chromosomes from diploid 46 to haploid 23
define primary germ cell
early precursor undifferentiated cells that eventually migrate to the gonads and differentiate into gametes (sperm or eggs) through meiosis
zygote which is now 46 chromosomes will divide rapidly by which process
mitosis to form a mass of 2,4,8,16,32 to infinity until it gives us tissue and organs
when primary cell become haploid 23 they are known as
mature germ cells which is also called gamets
in gametogenesis we have change in shape of primary germ cells what change takes in sperm and ovum
Sperm: Develops from a round cell into a streamlined, motile cell with a head, midpiece, and tail, designed for mobility and fertilization.
ovum: Remains large and round, optimizing for nutrient storage and support of the early embryo, with no structures for movement.
define phenotype
traits, which result from interaction of genotype with environment
where does the sperm contact the ovum to form a zygote
uterine tube
zygote is also known as
fertilized ovum
how can the sperm enter the ovum
the sperm head contains acrosomes which is basically lysosomes which will penetrate the ovum membrane.
