B) seminiferous cells
C) spermataozoa
D) spermatogonia
E) spermatids
A) primary spermatoytes
What is shown by the label “3” in the image?
zona pellucida
(the light blue cells (2) are trophoblast, the cavity is blastocele (1))
Cells migrate from which of the following structures to then form the primary yolk sac/ primary umbilical vesicle?
hypoblast
Vertebrae develop from which of the following?
A) myotome
B) dermatome
C) intermediate mesoderm
D) splanchnic mesoderm
E) sclerotome
E) sclerotome
The neural tube grows quickly after forming and becomes subdivided into the forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain and ______
spinal cord
As the embryo grows and expands which layer will become the outside of the embryo?
ectoderm
A primitive node forms at the ______ end of the embryonic disc?
cranial
An ovarian follicle containing a large antrum is known as a ________ follicle
tertiary
Embryonic blood cells (RBSc…) develop from endothelial cells within which structure?
umbilical vesicle
The urinary system will begin to develop within which of the following embryonic structures?
A) paraxial mesoderm
B) endoderm
C) intermediate mesoderm
D) ectoderm
C) intermediate mesoderm
The first blood vessels to form in early development are within which of the following?
A) extraembryonic mesoderm
B) amnion
C) notochord
D) gastrula
A) extraembryonic mesoderm
Which structure is most caudal in the embryo?
A) cloacal membrane
B) head fold
C) oropharyngeal membrane
D) heart tube
A) cloacal membrane
The notochordal process transforms into a solid notochord by fusing with the ______ of the embryo?
endoderm
In meiosis I and II in the ovary, 2 daughter cells are produced after each division, briefly explain how there is only 1 gamete formed?
For females, during meiosis I we produce one secondary oocyte and one polar body. Only the secondary oocyte moves on to meiosis II which will produce 2 daughter cells, but only 1 of them is mature as the ovum. This one ovum is the 1 gamete in females.
Some endometrial cells degenerate and provide nutrition to the embryo, these cells are called?
decidual cells
Which layer of the embryonic disc is dorsal and therefore adjacent to the amnion?
epiblast
Blood vessel formation starts in the third week, with vessels forming within which structure?
extraembryonic mesoderm
The digestive system starts as a ______, formed from the ______
gut tube, endoderm
Before neural folding the ventral surface of the embryo is formed by ______ ?
endoderm
Endocardial cushions form to ________ ?
separate the heart internally
