Q

Embryonic period

A

From fertilization to end of the 8th week of development.

All essential structures for speech and hearing form during this period.

Q

Zygote

A

A new cell formed from the union of the two gametes (egg and sperm). This is a newly fertilized egg. Continues to travel along the filopian tube as it starts to divide (cellular division called mytosis)

Q

Mitosis

A

The process of the division of the chromosomes and then the division of the cytoplasm to form two new identical cells. Then the 2 cells divide into 4 cells, the 4 cells divide into 8 cells etc…

A

About the third day after fertilization. This is when the cell divides into 12 to 16 cells

Q

Blastocyst

A

(changes from morula to…)When the cells will begin to separate into two masses.around the 5-7 day after fertilization. Implantation is completed after the 10th day.
Outer cell mass (trophoblast)- will become the placenta

Inner cell mass will become the embryo Attaches to the uterine lining

Q

Cell differentiation- what week does it begin?

A

Begins week 2, cells begin to become different than the one that created it by division.

17
Q

Neural Plate

A

Beginning of the nervous system.
Cells grow an thicken to form the neural folds.
Will give rise to all of the neurons and neuroglial cells (supporting cells of the entire nervous system. Then grows upward to form the neural folds.

18
Q

Notochord

A

Along the midline of the neural plate- a strip of cells. Will eventually become the primitive axial skeleton.

19
Q

Neural folds

A

Thickening along the lateral margins of the neural plate. Meet and fuse in the midline to form a tube.

20
Q

Neural Tube

A

Formed when the neural folds meet a the midline and fuse.
WIll give rise to the entire central nervous system.
- brain and spinal chord.

21
Q

Neural Crest

A

Ridge of ectodermal cells on either side of the neural tube.

  • will become spinal and cranial nerve ganglia and ganglia of the sympathetic and automatic nervous system.
  • also known as neural crest of the ganglion ridge.
22
Q

Somites

A
Develop as the neural tube is formed. 
Blocks of tissue that resemble the vertebral column. Appears about the 16th day of development.
Three groups:
Sclerotome
Myotome
Dermotome
23
Q

Sclerotome

A

Innermost part of a somite.

Will become individual vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and ribs.

24
Q

Myotome

A

Lateral to the sclerotome- will become the musculature of the trunk.

also known as (myomere)

25
Q

Dermatome

A

Most lateral portion of a somite.

Will become dermis.

26
Q

Week 3 continued…

A

Flexion of the embryo begins at the end of the 3rd week.

Rapid growth causes the embryo to buckle, resulting in a series of folds.

27
Q

Flexion of the Embryo

A

Begins at the end of the 3rd week. Rapid growth causes the embryo to buckle, resulting in a series of folds. Start of development of head, mouth and face.

28
Q

Development of primitive mouth

A

Located between the forebrain and heart prominence.

Also known as (Stomoduem or oral groove).

29
Q

Branchial Arches

A

Other grooves formed by flexation of the embryo

6 arches are formed but only 4 are visible externally. (2 can be seen on each side.)
Series of transverse elevations and depressions, grow together and meet at midline for for facial structures.

30
Q

1st brachial Arch

A
Called the mandibular arch-grows together at midline of face and forms:
lower lip
muscles of mastication
mandible
Anterior portion of the tongue
Some structures of the middle ear
31
Q

2nd Brachial Arch

A

Also called Hyoid Arch. Develops as:

  • Upper body and lesser horns of the hyoid bone
  • Stapes
  • muscles of facial expression
32
Q

3rd Brachial Arch

A

no name given

Develops into:
lower body of the hyoid bone
Posterior portion of the tongue

33
Q

4th and 5th Brachial arches

A

No special names
Develops into:
Cricoid and arytenoid cartilages of the larynx
Cartilages of the trachae

34
Q

6th Branchial Arch

A

Sometimes called Caudal Arch

Forms:
Palatine muscles
