Q

Zona reaction

A
  • when 1 sperm gets through causes conformational change in zona pellucida meshwork of glycoproteins (becomes rigid)
  • release of lysosomal enzymes from cortical granules near oocyte cell membrane

19
Q

Syncytiotrophoblast

A

-from trophoblast
-‐ Proteolytic enzymes,
chorionic gonadotropin (hcG)
‐ Responsible for
implantation and initial
signal of pregnancy

20
Q

Cytotrophoblast

A

‐ Stem cell layer

‐ Mitotically active

21
Q

Hydatidiform Mole

A

– Abnormal trophoblastic proliferation;

-excessive amounts of hCG produced

22
Q

complete mole results from

A

• Fertilization of an empty oocyte,
followed by duplication of the sperm
• Or from fertilization of an empty
oocyte by two sperm

23
Q

Partial mole results from

A

fertilization of a

normal oocyte by two sperm

24
Q

clinical features of hydatidiform mole

A
  • Vaginal bleeding
  • Pelvic pressure or pain
  • Enlarged uterus
  • Hyperemesis gravidarum
25
Q

Choriocarcinomas

A

Malignant tumor which develops from

hydatidiform mole

26
Q

what cell layers are present after week 2?

A
1) – Epiblast
• Ectoderm
• Amnion
• Amniotic cavity
2) hypoblast (only present during wk 2)
27
Q

hypoblast

A

– Endoderm
• Prechordal plate
• Primary and secondary yolk sac (umbilical vesicle)
• Extraembryonic mesoderm

28
Q

prechordal plate

A
  • future site of mouth

- fusion of epiblast and hypoblast

29
Q

Extraembryonic Coelom:

A

hollow cavity outside of the

embryo

30
Q

Extraembryonic Somatic

Mesoderm:

A

lining the
trophoblast and covering the
amnion
-adjacent to ectoderm

31
Q

Extraembryonic Splanchnic

Mesoderm:

A

lining the yolk sac
(umbilical vesicle)
-adjacent to endoderm

32
Q

Connecting Stalk

A
• Extraembryonic somatic
mesoderm
• Forms at embryonic pole
• Position changes during
development
33
Q

Primitive Blood

A

• Extraembryonic
splanchnic mesoderm
• Forms in wall of yolk sac

34
Q

Chorion

A

• Extraembryonic somatic
mesoderm
-cytotrophoblast
-syncytiotrophoblast

35
Q

placenta previa

A
  • placenta implants over internal cervical os

- marginal, total, partial

36
Q

what happens in week 3?

A

gastrulation= formation of 3 primary germ layers

37
Q

Primitive Streak

A

– Primitive knot (primitive node)
– Primitive groove
– Primitive pit

38
Q

sacral coccygeal teratomas

A
  • benign abnormal proliferation of cells

- remnant of primitive streak (cells of epiblast)(all 3 germ layers)

39
Q

notochord

A
• Midline
• Extends from primitive
node (knot) anterior to
prechordal plate
• Template for vertebral
column
• Induces neural plate
40
Q

notochordal plate

A

notochordal process + endoderm

41
Q

chordomas

A
– Rare slow growing
aggressive neoplasms of
bone
– Arise from remnants of
notochord
– Occur in axial skeleton in
spheno-occipital region
of skull and sacral
regions
42
Q

Allantois

A

• Endoderm
• Template for umbilical
arteries & vein
• Becomes urachus

43
Q

paraxial mesoderm

A

– Somites
• Muscle
• Skeleton (Vertebral)
• Dermis

44
Q

intermediate mesoderm

A

– Urogenital
• Kidneys
• Gonads

45
Q

lateral plate mesoderm

A
– Connective tissue
• Blood
• Lymph
• Mesenteries
• Cardiovascular
