General Embryology Flashcards
What are the two types of cells in the body
Somatic cells
Gamete cells
What are the non-sex cells
Somatic cells
T or F
Somatic cells are diploid cells
True
Somatic cells have 2 sets of chromosomes, 23 pairs
These are cells that fuse during sex
Gametes
Male:sperm
Female:
Oocytes
T or F
Gametes are haploid cells
True
Gametes ar haploid. They only have 1 copy of chromosome, either female or male.
Female chromosomes, XX or XY?
XX
Male chromosomes, XX or XY
XY
Sperm and oocyte unite to give rise to?
Zygote
Somatic cells multiply by Mitosis, which result to
How many daughter cells?
What type of cells according to number of chromosmes?
2, diploid daughter cells
Gametes multiply by Meiosis.
How many daughter cells after meiosis?
Type of cells according to number of chromosomes?
4, haploid cells
Gametes are derived from Primordial Germ cells that are formed in the
Epiblast during 2nd week
Gametes move through the primitive streak during?
Gastrulation
Cells begin to migrate from yolk sac towards developing gonads during what week?
4th week
What do you call the preparation for fertilization which includes meiosis to reduce number of chromosomes
Gametogenesis
What is cytodifferentation
Process done to complete their maturation
Condition where there is excessive number of chromosomes
Trisomy
Syndrome when there’s excess number of chromosomes
Example: 47 chromosomes
Down syndrome
Condition when there is a lack of number of chromosomes
Monosomy
How many chromosomes does turner syndrome has?
46 chromosomes
Abnormal number of chromosomes may result to cleft lip/palate with effects such as
Facial cleft
Shortened palate
Protruded tongue
Delayed eruption of teeth
Devices made by dentists for patients with cleft lip or palate that allow two cavities to be separated for better speech
Obturator
Prenatal development stages?
Germinal
Embryonic
Fetal
What stages composes the embryonic stage?
Germinal and Embryonic
Prenatal development stage that begins at fertilization and includes cellular perforation and migration. Few congenital effects. Span is 0-2 weeks.
Germinal Stage
Prenatal development stage that lasts from 3-8 weeks. It is the most severe and dangerous stage because organ development occurs
Embryonic stage
