A clinician might say a pregnancy lasts for how long? what would a patient say?
- 40 weeks
- 9 months
To an embryologist, what are the stages of fetal development?
1.
2.
3.
- preimplantation
- embryonic
- fetal stage
Describe what happens during the Prenatal weeks:
- Week 1:
- Week 2:
- Week 3:
- Weeks 3-8:
- Week 9 to term:
•Week 1: Preimplantation stage: zygote, morula, blastocyst
•
•Week 2: Inner cell mass forms bilaminar embryo
•
•Week 3: Bilaminar embryo becomes trilaminar embryo
•
•Weeks 3-8: Embryonic period – organogenesis (all organs are made)
•
•Week 9 to term: Fetal period - Growth and differentiation
The first 2 weeks after fertilization are the ____ _ ____ period which means?
What is common in this phase?
“all or nothing”
If something goes wrong, the embryo will not survive.
Miscarriages/spontaneous abotions
The ______ stage starts at week 3 and goes until week 8, _____ will be formed. This is a _____ period; what does this mean?
- embryonic
- organs
- critical period
- harmful agent of any sort (physical, chemical, radiation) can cause then a major anomally. This is where things can go very wrong.
Weeks 9-38 are called the _____ _____. what would happen if an injury were to occur during this time?
- fetal period
- the injury is most likely to produce minor structural defects or functional abnormalities
what is Gestational age (GA)?
the age of the embryo/fetus from the presumed first day of the last menstrual period – clinical notion
what is Fertilization age?
Which is longer Fertilization age or GA? Why?
The age of the embryo/fetus from the fertilization day – not used as such
GA is approximately 2 weeks longer than the fertilization age because the oocyte is not fertilized until about 2 weeks after the last Menstrual Period (around ovulation time) when gestational age is counted.
EDD is what?
What is the Naegele’s rule?
___% of women deliver on their due date while 60-70% deliver within 13 days from their due date. Why the variation?
Expected Delivery Date
- first day of LMP – 3 months +1 year +1 week
- 5%
- different time length of the period prior to ovulation; after ovulation, the period between ovulation and menstruation is fairly constant, at 14 days
What is an Abortion? An abortion happens before what time in development?
expulsion/removal of the embryo/fetus from uterus prior to age of viability- does not matter how it happens
22-23 weeks gestation
What is a misscarriage?
What is it a synonym for?
What are the majority caused by?
Miscarriage is spontaneous expulsion from uterus of embryo/fetus relatively early (usually < 20 weeks);
synonym = spontaneous abortion
à majority are caused by chromosomal abnormaliti
Premature infants are born between stage of _____ and ___ weeks. A majority are caused by ______ _____ of the pregnancy.
What is a still born?
viability (22-23 wks) and 37 weeks
Maternal complications
A baby that is born dead but after 22 wks?
what are PGCs?
These are Identified during the ___ week in the ____ ____ and are important for ______. During week 4-6, they migrate to the ____ ____ ___ area. PGCs wil then continue to multiply by _______ during their migration.
Primordial Germ cells
4th
yolk sac
Gametogenesis

Gonocytes will undergo _____. In a female, they will become _____ and they will become ____ in males. The basic chromosomal events of the process are the same in the two sexes afterwards. Both will undergo Several ______ divisions and two _____ divisions. However, the timing of the _______ of germ cells is different in the male and female
- mitosis
- oogonia
- spermatogonia
- mitotic
- meiotic
- maturation
•Gonocytes have ____ pairs of chromosomes for a total of ___ chromosomes this makes them _____ cellls. One chromosome from of each pair comes from each parent. There are __ pairs of matching, homologous chromosomes called ______ and two ____ ______ that determine sex of the individual.
- 23
- 46
- diploid
- 22
- autosomes
- sex chromosomes (X&Y)
Mature gametes are ____ cells which means they have ___ copy(ies) of each chromosome(s). This is because during _______, the number is _____ by____ during the _____ division.
haploid
1
gemetogenesis
reduced
half
meiotic
Describe Gametogenisis. Label the process in each blue box and label the teal box and say if diploid or haploid

Surviving cells have entered _______ of ____ ___ and each is tightly enclosed in a ______ ________. By ____, only 700,000 to 2 million oogonias remain and even more degenerate. By puberty, only about ________ remain

The primary oocyte will _____ in ___ and shortly before _______ completes the first _____ division. It now is a ______ ____ and a ____ ____ that are both _____, but the secondary follicle takes almost all of the _____.
