Human Development- EXAM I Flashcards
What the are three main stages of human development and when do they take place?
Proliferation period: (0-3 weeks)
Embryonic period: (3-8 weeks)
Fetal development period (9 weeks to term)
Fertilization of the ovum yields a:
Zygote
The zygote has a full compliment of genetic material rendering it:
Diploid
The zygote undergoes mitotic division forming a:
Blastomere
Greater than 32 blastomeres creates a:
Morula
At what cell stage foes 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 filled with fluid:
Cyst
The blastocyst will start traveling down the uterus and:
Implants itself into the uterine wall
Once the blastocyst implants itself into the uterine wall it will create arms that anchor it in place called:
Syncytiotrophoblasts
The blastocyst develops an inner cells mass at 6-7b days and is now referred to as an:
Embryoblast
Implantation of the embryoblast into the uterine wall begins at day _____ and is complete at day _____
4; 10
After the blastocyst implants into the uterine wall it will become:
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 bilmainar disc it is now able to receive:
Blood supply, nutrients & protection
The outter cell mass of the bilaminar embryonic disc becomes the _____ & _____ layers
Cytotrophoblast & Syntrophoblast
The 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 & mesoderm
The hypoblast layer of the bilaminar disc is comprised of:
Endoderm
The large cavity that forms at the top, just under the hypoblast forms 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
Enlargement of the amniotic cavity & migration of cells out of the hypoblast form the:
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 blastocyst (completely enveloped in the uterine wall):
Chorionic layer
During the third week of development, the bilaminar embryonic disc is characterized by the formation of:
Primitive streak, notochord, neural tube
The cleft that starts to form on the surface of the bilaminar disc during week three of development:
Primitive streak
During the third week of development, the bilaminar disc embryonic disc is characterized by the formation of the primitive streak, notochord and neural tube-
The three distinct germ layers 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 third week of development
Mesoderm
The primitive streak is characterized by the formation of:
Pit, Node, & groove
______ cells invaginate within the ______ & migrate towards the cephalad until they reach the _______
Pre-notochordal
Primitive node
Prechrodal plate
The pre-notochordal cells invaginate within the primitive node & migrate towards the cephalad 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 formation of:
Somites
Precursor of the vertebral column, ribs, associated back muscles & overlying dermis
Somites
The forms is what position:
Midline
The notochord is formed from ____ cells
Ectodermal
The notochord is formed from ectodermal cells derived from the:
Primitive streak
The notochord functions as a primitive axial skeleton for the embryo, establishing:
Symmetry & polarity of development & induction of the somites
The three layers of mesoderm during the proliferation period of human development:
Paraxial
Intermediate
Lateral plate
What are the two categories of lateral plate mesoderm:
Parietal & Visceral
(Proliferation period)
List the derivatives of mesoderm
- 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 & 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 & spleen
The epidermis, hair & nails are derivatives of the:
Ectoderm
The epithelium of the oral & nasal cavities & paranasal sinuses are derivatives of the:
Ectoderm
Salivary & 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 & associated glands are derivatives of:
Endoderm
Ectoderm creates a lot of _______ derived tissues & organs
Epithelial
