Embryology Flashcards
what animals have zonary placentae
Carnivores, manatees
What degree of placental interdigitation do cats and dogs have
Endothelialchorial: no uterine connective tissue intervenes between syntrophoblast and endothelium of maternal vessels (be able to draw this)
What stage are the areas above Henson’s node in
Neurlation
What is the diverse migratory cell population that becomes melanocytes, creaniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle among other things
Neural crest
The spaces within the lateral plate are enclosed and form what (space between splanchnic and somatic layers)
coelom
what degree of placental interdigitation do pigs, cows, and horse have
epitheliochorial: fetal and maternal epithelia interdigitate (be able to draw this)
What is restriction
options narrowing
What does dermatome become
dermis
What does umbilical (mamals)/ allantoic (birds) systems do
Oxygen exchange
What do cardinal veins do
drain blood from the body of the embryo
What does chorion do
Site of gas exchange (white skin like stuff when you make hard boiled eggs just inside of the shell)
Definition of mesenchyme
Cells from mesoderm or neural crest that are loosely arranged, tells epithelium what to do, precursor to muscle and connective tissue
What do chorioamniotic folds create
amnion and chorion
What does Myotome become
skeletal muscle
What is differentiation
expression of mature stage
What animals have discoid placentae
humans, rodents, insectivores
What does the somatic layer of lateral plate mesoderm form
Body wall
What animals have diffuse placentae
Pigs, horses
What degree of placental interdigitation do primates have
Hemochorial: chorion is bathed in the maternal blood (be able to draw this)
What does yolk do to the symmetry of developing animals
Reduces symmetry
Why do birds have more yolk
No direct contact with mother
in mammals during blastulation, an inner cell mass separates from the trophoblast and creates what
blastocoele
What are epigenetic factors
Compounds that mark DNA and determine what, where, and when genes should be expressed. (Google: 1 molec bio: 0)
Notochord produces proteins that inhibit ectoderm from becoing epidermis, what does this form
neural ectoderm
What is the morula
Mass of blastomeres at 64 cell stage
In birds during blastulation, the hypoblast delaminates from the epiblast creating what
Blastocoele
What does the mesoderm become
Connective tissue, muscle, cardiac tissue, bones
What stage are the areas below Hensen’s node in
blastulation
What is the outer layer of the blastula
epiblast
Definition of morphogenetic movement
movement of cells in early embryo that change shape or form of differentiating cells
Definition of embryo
development from fertilization until organs develop
