Embryonic Dev. Flashcards
Starts in the union of germ cell and when does it end?
Fertilization ( cleavage)
Pattern of early mitotic division
Cleavage
T/f The size of cell changes in cleavage.
f.it does not only the number of cell increase
Formation of the priMary germ layers
Gastrulation
What are the types of eggs based on characteristics?
Isolecithal, mesolecIthal, telolecithal, centrolecithal
Sparse evenly distributed yolk
Isolecithal ( mammals)
Moderate yolk & unevenly distributed
. Mesolecithal (amphibians)
Dense yolk concentrated at one end
Telolecithal (birds & reptiles)
Yolk concentrated at the middle
Centrolecithal (fly)
Fertilization process in chronological order
Insemination- sperm capacitation-migration- acrosome reaction- forming of fertilization cone - penetration of sperm. - forming of fertilization membrane- formation of M&f pronuclei - union of m&f chromosomes
Several mitotic divisions and what are the cells called?
Cleavage ( blastomere)
A compact ball that have undergone mitotic division.
Morula
What junction is a result of cleavage
Tight junction
What junction forms the blastocoele
Gap junction
What rises off of the superficial layer of the morula?
Trophoblast/ trophoectoderm
