Lab exam reproductive system Flashcards
(24 cards)
fertilization definition
sperm’s chromosomes combine with those of secondary ooctye to form fertilized egg (zygote)
What is a zygote?
fertilized egg
What is cleavage?
An early embryonic phase consisting of rapid mitotic cell divisions without intervening growth periods; product is a blastocyst.
What is gastrulation?
the two-layered embryonic disc transforms into a three-layered embryo in which the primary germ layers—ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm
Process of Cleavage in steps
- Fertilized egg
- 4 cell stage
- Early Bastula
- Later Bastula
The 3 germ layers
ectoderm mesoderm endoderm
Ectoderm (what systems does it create?)
epidermis, accessory skin structures, nervous system, and organs of special senses, epithelia of oral cavity, nasal cavity, anal canal, adrenal medulla, pituitary, and pineal glands
mesoderm (what systems does it form)?
dermis, skeleton, skeletal, cardiac, smooth muscle, cartilage, blood vessels, kidneys, ureters, most lympoid organs/tissues, internal reproductive organs, serous membranes, adrenal cortex
Endoderm (what systems does it create)
epithelial lining of respiratory tract, GI tract, urinary tract, reproductive tract,
liver, gallbladder, pancreas, thymus, parathyroid and thyroid glands
What is the placenta?
temporary organ formed from both fetal and maternal tissues
Function of placenta
provides nutrients and O2 to developing fetus, carries away metabolic waste, and produces hormomes of pregnancy
blastocyst
formed out of cleavage
its is fluid hollow shape composed of a single layer of a large flattened cells called trophoblast and implants to uterine wall
embryoblast
accumulation of cells in the blastocyst from which the embryo develops as implantation continues. becomes a bilayered embryonic disc
trophoblast
outer sphere of cells of blastocyst. secrete digestive enzymes and growth factors then it proliferates and forms 2 layers: cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast
Chronioc villi
formed by chorion (outermost fetal membrane) become elaborate when in contact with maternal blood
amnion
fetal membrane that forms a fluid filled sac around embryo
develops when cells of the epiblast fashion themselves into a transparent sac surrounding the amniotic cavity filled with amiotic fluid
functions of amnion
protect and maintains temperature
Chorion
cells from original embryoblast give rise to a layer of extraembryonic mesoderm that lines the inner surface of trophoblast that becomes the chorionic villi
yolk sac
one of the extraembyronic membrane involved in early blood cell formation
formed from cells of primitive gut, arrange themselves in sac that hangs from ventral surface of embyro
yolk sac function
main source of nutrition
forms part of gut
source of blood cells
location of primordial germ cells from gonads to produce sperm/ ova
allantois
the embroynic membrane, its blood vessels develop into blood vessels of umbilical cord
forms as a small outpocketing of embyronic tissue at that caudal end of yolk sac
The ______ is a structural base of the umbilical cord that links embryo to placenta and becomes part of urinary bladder.
allontois
functions of allantois
disposal site for solid metabolic wastes (excreta)
structural base of umbilical cord
Timing of human plantation
- zygote
- 4 Cells stage 2 DAYS
- Morula 3 DAYS
- Early Blastocyst 4 DAYS
- Implanting Blastocyst 7-12 DAYS
