21
Q

What is decidua basalis?

A

Part of endometrium rich in maternal blood vessels

22
Q

What forms from the inner cell mass?

A

Bilaminar disk, epiblast (top) and hypoblast (bottom)

23
Q

What are the two cavities formed in bilaminar disk?

A

Amniotic cavity at the top, yolk cavity at the bottom

24
Q

What is the role of yolk sack?

A

It provides nutrition, it gets smaller as embryo grows

25
Q

What is allantoic cavity?

A

Allantoic cavity is for waste products, it gets bigger as embryo grows

26
Q

Does maternal and foetal blood mix?

A

No, all exchanges happen by diffusion

27
Q

Describe the surfaces of the placenta

A

Maternal surface is rough, decidua basalis with maternal blood vessels, foetal surface is smooth, with foetal blood in umbilical cord, covered in amniotic membrane

28
Q

What is the function of placenta ?

A

Nutrition, transport of gases and wastes, immunity

29
Q

When does the levels of human chorion gonadotrophin hormones peak?

A

About week 12

30
Q

When does placenta mature?

A

Week 18-20

31
Q

What are the two types of twins?

A

Fraternal/dizygotic - 2 ova and 2 placentas, identical/monozygotic - 1 ova only, divides into two cells that each develop to different foetus

32
Q

What does begin in week 3 ?

A

Gastrulation process, 3 germ layers develop and neurulation process

33
Q

What is primate streak and how is it formed ?

A

Group of cells from the midline of epiblast that are formed by dipping, they are very active and rapidly divide, form axis of the embryo, go between epiblast and hypoblast and replace hypoblast cells

34
Q

What is the end product of gastrulation?

A

trilaminar disk, consists of ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm, cells have now become specialised

35
Q

What is notochord and hoc it is formed?

A

A solid tube formed from rapidly dividing epiblast cells that sunk down to the space between mesoderm and endoderm

36
Q

What is the role to notochord?

A

It signals to the ectoderm to form neural tube, many signalling pathways, sonic hedgehog is one of them, ectoderm first thickens forming neural plate and then sinks down to the space between ectoderm and mesoderm forming neural plate

37
Q

What is the name of the process whereby neural tube is formed?

A

Neurulation

38
Q

What does happen to mesoderm after neural tube is formed?

A

Mesoderm thickens and divides into three parts -paraxial mesoderm (somites), intermediate (urinogenital and kidneys) lateral mesoderm (body cavities and coverings)

39
Q

What happens to each somite and how many are there?

A

there are 43 somites, they divide into three parts, 1 is dermatome (dermis of skin), 2. myotome (muscles) 3 sclerotome (bones)

40
Q

What happens to lateral mesoderm?

A

Splits into somatic and splanchnic mesoderm, space in between is intraembryonic coelom

41
Q

In week 4 what happens to neural tube?

A

Neural tube develops to forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain, spinal cord

42
Q

What developmental processes happen at week 4?

A

Gut formation from endoderm, urinogenital formation from intermediate mesoderm, body cavities from lateral mesoderm, somites from paraxial mesoderm, limb buds and neck development pharyngeal arches

43
Q

What is lateral folding?

A

Folding al the three layers and the the lateral mesoderm is heavy, somatic and splanchnic mesoderm join together creating a cavity in the middle, somatic is on the outside, splanchnic on the inside, cavity if formed in the middle

44
Q

What is formed from somatic and splanchnic mesoderm?

A

Parietal membrane from the somatic mesoderm, visceral membrane from the splanchnic mesoderm

45
Q

What happens around week 6?

A

Another folding as neural tube is growing rapidly

46
Q

What does form from ectoderm?

A

Epidermis of the skin, neural tube

47
Q

What does from from endoderm?

A

gut and respiratory

48
Q

What are teratogens?

A

Environmetal factors that cause abnormal development

49
Q

When there is the highest risk of premature death?

A

weeks 1-2

50
Q

When is the embryo most sensitive to teratogens?

A

weeks 3-8

51
Q

What are the diagnostic tests for malformations?

A

Blood alpha -fetoprotein (marker for spinal bifida, encelopahty), ultrasoun scans, invasive test chorion villus sampling, amniocentesis
