Human Development Flashcards
What are the stages of human development
Proliferation period (0-3 wks) Embryonic period (3-8wks) Fetal development period (9 wks to term)
Fertilization of ovum yields what?
Zygote
Mitotic cleavage of zygote forms what?
Blastomeres
> or = 32 blastomeres is called what?
Morula
Blastocyst is
64 cell stage morula developed an internal blastocystic cavity.
A cyst is
any mass that is lined w/ epithelial tissue, hollowed inside or can be filled with a liquid
Embryoblast is
after the blastocyst developed an inner cell mass at days 6-7
Implantation of the embryo blast in the uterine wall begins at which day? And is complete at what day?
4 and 10
Bilaminar embryonic disc is
when the inner cell mass of the embryo blast transitions
Outer cell mass becomes the cytotrophoblast and syntrophoblast layers which are
precursor to the placenta
Layers of the bilaminar embryonic disc are
epiblast layer - ectoderm and mesoderm hypoblast layer - endoderm amniotic cavity blastocyst cavity syntrophoblasts cytotrophoblasts
Yolk sac is
considered when the Heuser’s membrane will form the internal lining of the blastocyst cavity
Heuser’s membrane is
when the enlargement of the amniotic cavity and migration of cells out of the hypoblast
Cell layers
Embryonic cavities during the proliferation period
Epiblast
Embryonic mesoderm
hypoblast
Amniotic
yolk sac
chorionic (containing everything)
During 3rd wk - the bilaminar embryonic disk is characterized by the formation of what
primitive streak
notochord
neural tube
With the distinct germ layers are - ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm
Primitive streak consists of what
Pit, node, groove
Primitive node -> _____ _______ -> notochord
notochord process
Notochord functions as what
primitive skeletal support of the embryo around which the axial skeleton later forms
Notochord induces the formation of what?
somites, the precursors of the vertebral column, ribs, and associated back muscles and overlying dermis
describe the process of the formation of the notochord starting with the pre-notochordal cells
Pre-notochordal cells invaginate within the primitive node and migrate towards the cephalad until they reach the prochodal plate. Where they detach themselves from the ectodermal layer to line within the mesoderm
