Human Development- Exam 1 Flashcards
What are the 3 main stages of human development and when do they occur?
Proliferation period: 0-3 weeks
Embryonic period: 3-8 weeks
Fetal development period: 9 weeks- term
Fertilization of the ovum yields:
zygote
The zygote has a full compliment of genetic material rendering it:
diploid
The zygote undergoes mitotic division forming the:
blastomere
Greater than 32 blastomeres =
morula
At what cell stage does the morula develop an internal blastocystic cavity?
64 cell stage
When the morula develops an internal blastocystic cavity, it is now referred to as:
blastocyst
any mass that is lined with any type of cell (typically an epithelium), hollow inside, and sometimes fluid filled:
cyst
The blastocyst travels down the uterus and:
implants itself into the uterine wall
Once the blastocyst into the uterine wall, it will create arms that anchor it in place called:
syncytiotrophoblast
The blastocyst develops an inner cell mass at 6-7 days and is referred to as:
an embryoblast
Implantation of the embryoblast into the uterine wall begins at day _____ and is complete at day ____.
day 4; day 10
After the blastocyst implants into the uterine wall it becomes:
enveloped into the uterine wall
The inner cell mass of the embryoblast transitions into the:
bilaminar embryonic disc
At the stage in which the embryoblast envelopes into the uterine wall and becomes the bilaminar disc, it is now able to receive:
blood supply, nutrients, and protection
The outer cell mass of the bilaminar embryonic disc becomes the ___ & ____ layers.
cytotrophoblast & syntrophoblast
cytotrophoblast & syntrophoblast layers are precursors to the:
Placenta
What two layers make up the bilaminar embryonic disc?
Epiblast layer & Hypoblast layer
The epiblast layer of the bilaminar disc is comprised of:
ectoderm and mesoderm
The hypoblast layer of the bilaminar disc is comprised of:
endoderm
The development of a large cavity that forms at the top just under the hypoblast is called the:
yolk sac
The development of a secondary cavity above the epiblast forms the:
amniotic cavity
List the structures associated with the bilaminar embryonic disc: (6)
- epiblast layer
- hypoblast layer
- amniotic cavity
- blastocyst cavity
- syntrophoblasts
- cytotrophoblasts
Enlargment of the amniotic cavity and migration of cells out of the hypoblast form:
Heuser’s membrane
The heuser’s membrane will form the internal lining of the blastocyst cavity- now called the:
yolk sac
The internal lining of the yolk sac cavity:
Heuser’s membrane
The cell layer surrounding the entire blastocyst (completely enveloped in the uterine wall)
chorionic layer
During the 3rd week of development, the bilaminar embryonic disc is characterized by formation of the:
primitive streak, notochord, and neural tube
The cleft that starts to form on the surface of the bilamininar disc during week 3 of development
primitive streak
During the 3rd week of development, the bilaminar embryonic disc is characterized by formation of the primitive streak, notochord, and neural tube. The 3 distinct germ layers at this point at this point in development are:
Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
The distinct embryonic germ layer that was formerly the epiblast layer:
ectoderm
The distinct embryonic germ layer that was formerly the hypoblast layer
endoderm
Cells from the epiblast layer invaginate in to form the ____ during the 3rd week of development
mesoderm
The primitive streak is characterized by the formation of:
pit, node, and groove
_____ cells invaginate within the ____ and migrate towards the cephalad until they reach the ____.
pre-notochordal
primitive node
prechordal plate
Pre-notochordal cells invaginate within the primitive ode and migrate toward the cephalad until the reach prechordal plate. They detach themselves from the ectodermal layer to line within the mesoderm forming the _____.
notochord
Functions as a primitive skeletal support of the embryo around which the axial skeleton later forms
notochord
The notochord induces the formation of ___.
somites
Precurser of the vertebral column, ribs, and associated back muscles and overlying dermis:
somites
The notochord forms in what position?
midline
The notochord is formed from _____ cells
ectodermal
The notochord is formed from ectodermal cells derived from the ____.
primitive node
The notochord functions as a primitive axial skeleton for the embryo, establishing:
symmetry and polarity of development and induction of the somites
What are the 3 layers of mesoderm during the proliferation period of human development?
Paraxial, intermediate, and lateral plate
What are the two categories of lateral plate mesoderm
parietal and visceral
List the derivatives of mesoderm (proliferation period)
- paraxial mesoderm
- intermediate mesoderm
- lateral plate mesoderm
What is derived from the paraxial mesoderm?
somites
What is derived from the intermediate mesoderm
urogenital system
What is derived from the parietal portion of the lateral plate mesoderm?
Mesothelial (serous) membranes that cover the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial cavities
What is derived from the visceral portion of the lateral plate mesoderm?
The thin serous membranes that cover individual organs including the stomach, pancreas, and spleen
The epidermis (hair and nails) are derivatives of the:
ectoderm
The epithelium of the oral and nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses are derivatives of the:
ectoderm
Salivary and endocrine glands are derivatives of:
ectoderm
The nervous system is a derivative of:
ectoderm
Tooth enamel is a derivative of:
ectoderm
The GI tract epithelium and associated glands are derivatives of:
endoderm
Ectoderm creates a lot of ____ derives tissues and organs
epithelium
