Embryology Flashcards
ovulation
LH causes mature egg to release,
what is egg surrounded in during ovulation
zona pellucida
3 stages of fertilization
capacitation, acrosomal reaction, cortical and zona reactions
3 trimesters
organ development, viability, maturation
3 fetal periods of prenatal development
blastocyst (1-2), embryonic (3-8), fetal (8-term)
complete hydatidiform mole
only paternal DNA (maternal oocyte missing nucleus, duplicated sperm DNA)
partial hydatidiform mole
fertilize 1 oocyte by 2 sperm –> triploid zygote, 2x as much paternal DNA as maternal
bilaminar disc/embryo
epiblast with amniotic cavity, hypoblast with primary yolk sac
trophoblast differentiation during implantation
cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast. latter burrows into endometrial lining of uterus
lacunae
within syncytiotrophoblast, fuse together and trophoblast also penetrate maternal cappilaries to make sinusoids –> earliest uteroplacental circulation
what is the earliest uteroplacental circulation made of
lacunae and sinusoids (made from trophoblast cells replacing endothelial cells of maternal capillaries)
uterine lining and syncytiotrophoblast together become
placenta
fingerlike projections of cytotrophoblast covered by syncytiotrophoblast
primary villi
what secretes hCG
syncytiotrophoblast, can be detected end of second week
what makes up the amnion
epiblast, extraembryonic mesodermal cells
what makes up the chorion
syncytio, cyto, mesoderm
what makes the umbilical cord
connective stalk
when blastocyst implants near cervix
placenta covers cervix, placenta previa
