Caudal/cranial –> Caudal/cranial

distal/Proximal –> distal/Proximal

A

cranial –> caudal

proximal –> distal

29
Q

fetus breaths amniotic fluid and excretes into the amniotic fluid but this dose not cause ______

A

defecation

30
Q

there is/is not mixing of fetal blood in the womb

A

there is not

31
Q

-Placenta is highly ______ and formed by the embryo exchanges 1. waste 2. gas 3. nutrition therefore acting as _____, ____, and ______

A

vascular; kidney, lungs, and GI tract

32
Q

Malformation

A

abnormality that occurs 3-8 weeks

33
Q

Deformation

A

abnormality secondary to extrinsic disruption after embryonic period

34
Q

Sequence

A

multiple abnormalities developing in a sequence

35
Q

Syndrome

A

multiple abnormalities not developing in a certain sequence

36
Q

Mesenchyme

A

aggregates of undifferentiated cells mostly made of mesoderm

37
Q

Longitudinal Folding

A

cranial and caudal ends fold ventrally, moves heart from cranial into new thorax and it begins to beat

38
Q

Transverse Folding

A

lateral sides fold ventrally, creates the GI tract, creates body cavities called coelom, germ layers begin forming structures
