Gametogenesis Flashcards
Pre embryonic period
0-2 weeks
Embryonic period
3-8 weeks
Fetal period
9th week till birth
Primordial germ cells are produced by
Epiblast - 2nd week
Pluripotent cells forms
all germ layers
Gonads are formed by
Primordial germ cells from epiblast
Abnormal migration of primordial germ cells to head and neck region
Carnio - pharyngeal teratoma
Abnormal migration of PGC to sacrococcygeal region
Sacrococcygeal teratoma
Reasons for formation of sacrococcygeal teratoma
Abnormal migration of PGC to sacrococcygeal region and persistence of primitive streak
Ability to form entire embryo and extra embryonic tissue
Totipotent cell
Forms all Germ layers
