L11- Early embryology 2 Flashcards
outline the broad stage of early embryology
- fertilisation and implantation
- gastrulation
- neurulation
- segmentation- somites
- folding
a zygote
single cell formed when egg and sperm cell fuse- fusion is known as fertilisation
cleavage- first cell division- occurs
within 24-30h after fertilisation
by late cleavage what is formed
morula (32 cells)
when does blastulation occur
day 4
blastulation
2 types of cell are produced
- outer cell- trophoblast cells
- inner cell mass
compaction
first cavity forms within blastocyst- blastocoel- pushes inner cell mass to one side
after blastulation
blastocyst hatches from zona pellucida
inner cell mass differentiates into
epiblast- aminiotic cavity
hypoblast- primitive yolk sac
implantation occurs
on day 6-7
summary of zygote to embryoblast
gastrulation starts on
day 16 (week 3)
during gastrulation what occurs
production of germ layers
name the germ layers
ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm
ectoderm
epidermis, hair, nails, brain, spinal cord, peripheral NS
mesoderm
muscle, bone, connective tissue, notochord, kidney, gonads, circulatory system
endoderm
epithelial lining of the digestive tract
first step of gastrulation
formation of primitive streak
primitive streak determines the
midline of the body
- should have mobile cilia which mean the body structures are on the right side of the body
prior to gastrulation the embryonic disk is
bilaterally symmetrical
- but int he body clear differenc ebetween left and right side
situs invetus
- Complete mirror image viscera
- Commonly exults in immobile cilia
- Infertile
- No associated morbidity
- Problems arise if there is both normal and mirror image disposition
immotile cilia during gastrulation mean
waft organs into the right direction
