Histology Term Test 2 Flashcards
What is embryology?
The study of prenatal development.
What is prenatal development?
The period from the start of pregnancy to the birth of the child.
What is postnatal development?
The period of growth and development that occurs after birth.
What is the gestational period?
The length of pregnancy after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP), usually expressed in weeks and days.
What are the 3 periods of prenatal development?
Pre-implantation, embryonic, and fetal.
When is the pre-implantation period?
During the first week.
What happens during pre-implantation?
Fertilization, implantation, and division.
What is produced during pre-implantation?
Zygote and blastocyte.
When does the embryonic period occur?
From the 2nd week to the 8th week.
What happens during the embryonic period?
Induction, proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis, and maturation.
What is produced during the embryonic period?
Disc, embryo, and folded embryo.
When does the fetal period occur?
From the 3rd to the 9th month.
What happens during the fetal period?
Maturation.
What is produced during the fetal period?
Embryo and fetus.
What are the key points of pre-implantation?
Fertilization, cleavage, morula.
What is fertilization?
Ovum + sperm = zygote.
What is a zygote?
Fertilized egg: 46 chromosomes.
What is cleavage?
Zygote undergoes mitosis.
What is a morula?
A solid ball of cells that makes up an embryo after zygote.
What is the first trimester?
Weeks 1-12; pre-implantation to embryonic.
What are the second and third trimesters?
Fetal period.
What are the 5 physiological processes of the embryonic stage?
Induction, proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis, maturation.
What is induction?
The action of one group of cells on another that leads to the establishment of a developmental pathway.
What is proliferation?
Controlled cellular growth and accumulation of byproducts.
What is differentiation?
Change in identical embryonic cells to become distinct structurally and functionally.
What is morphogenesis?
Development of specific tissue structure or differing form due to embryonic cell migration or proliferation and inductive interactions.
What is maturation?
Attainment of adult function and size due to proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis.
What is appositional growth?
Tissue enlarges its size by the addition of layers on the outside of a structure.
What is interstitial growth?
Occurs from deep within a tissue or organ.
What are the 3 types of differentiation?
Cytodifferentiation, histodifferentiation, morphodifferentiation.
What is cytodifferentiation?
Development of different cell types.
What is histodifferentiation?
Development of different histologic tissue types within a structure.
What is morphodifferentiation?
The development of different forms, making up its structure or shape for each organ or system.
What are teratogens?
Any agent that can cause birth defects or abnormalities in a developing fetus.
What are some drug teratogens?
Ethanol, tetracycline, phenytoin sodium.
What are some chemical teratogens?
Methylmercury, polychlorinated biphenyls.
What are some infection teratogens?
Rubella virus, syphilis, herpes, HIV.
What are some radiation teratogens?
High levels of ionizing type.
What are the clinical considerations for clients with Down syndrome?
Increased levels of periodontal disease, delayed tooth eruption, fewer teeth present, microdontia.
What is produced during prenatal development weeks 1-4?
(3)
Blastocyst, bilaminar layer disc, trilaminar layer disc.
When does the blastocyst form?
After a week of cleavage.
What are the components of the blastocyst?
Trophoblast and embryoblast.
What is the trophoblast?
Peripheral cells that form the placenta.
What is the embryoblast?
Inner cell mass that forms the embryo.
When does the bilaminar layer disc form?
During the second week.
What are the components of the bilaminar layer disc?
Epiblast layer and hypoblast layer.
What is the epiblast layer?
The superior layer that forms the yolk sac.
What is the hypoblast layer?
The inferior layer that forms the amnion.
When does the trilaminar layer form?
During the third week.
What are the components of the trilaminar layer disc?
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm.
What does the ectoderm develop into?
Produces sense organs, nerves, and glands.
What does the mesoderm develop into?
Develops into dermis, bone, lymphatics, blood cells, bone marrow, cartilage, reproductive and excretory organs.
What does the endoderm develop into?
The lining of the digestive and respiratory systems.
Where do mesoderm and endoderm migrate from?
From the epiblast layer.
What does ‘gives rise to’ mean?
Leads to the development or creation of the second thing.
What is cleavage?
Cells divide constantly.
What is the oropharyngeal membrane?
Membrane at the cephalic end of the embryo, separates the stomodeum from the foregut.
What is the stomodeum?
Primitive mouth and parts of the face and neck.
What is the foregut?
Anterior part of the future digestive tract or primitive pharynx.
What is a primordium?
The earliest stage of development of an organ or tissue.
What do the midgut and hindgut form?
The rest of the mature pharynx as well as the remainder of the digestive tract.
When do the branchial (pharyngeal) arches develop?
During the 4th week.
What happens during week 4?
The face and its associated tissues begin to form.
What is the 1st branchial arch? what nerve and cartilage is it associated with?
Also known as the mandibular arch, associated with the trigeminal nerve and Meckel’s cartilage.
Does the cartilage of the 1st branchial arch disappear?
Yes, it disappears and forms the middle ear bones.
What is the future site of the 1st branchial arch?
Lower face and lips, mandible and mandibular teeth, muscles of mastication, and associated mandibular muscle.
What does the mesoderm of the 1st branchial arch form?
Muscles of mastication, middle ear, and soft palate movement.
What are the incus and malleus?
Bones of the middle ear formed from the 1st branchial arch.
What is the 2nd branchial arch?
Also known as the hyoid arch.
muscles of mastication (4)
masseter
temporalis
medial pterygoid
lateral pterygoid
What is the nerve associated with the 2nd branchial arch?
Facial nerve.
