lecture 23 - development and inheritance Flashcards
gestation
pregnancy - 38 weeks from fertilization to birth
prenatal development (what is it, and its stages) (2)
time from fertilization to birth
embryonic period
- fert to 8 weeks (embryo)
- all principal adult organs present
fetal development
- week 9 to birth
- placenta now functional
can also be divided into 3 trimesters (1,2,3)
neonatal period
first 28 days after birht
embryonic period - week 1 events (4)
fertilization
cleavage of zygote
blastocyst formation
implantation
fertilization
haploid sperm + secondary oocyte = zygote (2n)
when does fert oocur
within 12-24 hours post ov
how long are oocytes and sperm viable for
oocyte - 24 hours
sperm - 48 hours
how are sperm attracted to the oocyte
via capacitation
capacitation
series of changes that allow sperm to fertilize the oocyte
flagella beat more rapidly
removal of cholesterol and proteins from plasma membrane near acrosome that prepare sperm for fusion
corona radiata
layer of granulosa cells around oocyte
zona pellucida
glycoprotein layer between plasma membrane and corona radiata of oocyte
ZP3
glycoprotien in zona pellucida that acts as a sperm receptor
what happens when a sperm binds to ZP3
sperm cells release acrosomal enzymes and digest a path thru zona pellucida
fusion of sperm and oocyte cause 2 blocks.
waht do these things do?
fast block
- depolarization of oocytes membrane so it cant fuse with another sperm
slow block
- hardening of zona pellucida that inactivates ZP3
blocking prevents polyspermy
polyspermy
fertilization by more that 1 sperm
syngamy
fusion of male and female pronuclei
zygote
fertilized ovum
fraternal twins (dizygotic) are formed by:
independent release of 2 oocytes fertilized by 2 separate sperm
genetically as different as 2 siblings
identical twins (monozygotic) are formed by:
a zygote that splits into two embryos within 8 days post fertilization
conjoined twins are formed by:
zygote that separates MORE than 8 days after fertilization
cleavage of zygote
rapid mitotic cell division of zygote
blastomeres
Progessively smaller cells produced by cleavage
morula
formation of solid sphere of cells that is still surrounded by the zona pellucida
what day is the morula formed
4
blastocyst formation
day 5
morula enters uterine cavity
- fluid from endometrial glands enters morula and reorganized blastomeres to form the blastocyst
- fluid nourishes the morula and the zona pellucida is shed
the morula is now called a blastocyst
endometrial glands secrete
uterine milk (fluid that forms blastocyst from morula)
blastocyst gives rise to two different cell populations (2) what are they and what do tehy develop into?
embryoblast (inner)
- develops into embryo
trophoblast (outer)
- develops into outer chorionic sac
implantation happens by day:
6
implantation
attachment of blastocyst to endometrium
embryoblast is oriented to face the endometrium
once attached (implantation) what happens to the endometrium and blastocyst?
endo
- becomes more vascularized
blastocyst
- secretes enzymes, burrows into endometrium
what do trophoblast cells secrete, and what does it do/
hCG, human chorionic gonadotropin
maintains corpus luteum, allowing for sustained secretion of estrogen and progesterone, preventing menstruation
decidua (what is it, + 3 layers)
functional layer of endometrium formed after implantation
basal - nourishes embryo, surrounds it in endometrium
capsular - part of endometrium that covers embryo from lumen of uterus (part of basal and parietal)
parietal - remaining part of modified endometrium in noninvolved areas
ectopic pregnancy
development of an embryo outside the uterine cavity, usually in tubes
can be due to:
- scarring
- smoking (destruction of cilia)
- peristalsis defect
- abnormal tubal anatomy
can also occur in ovaries, abdominal cavity, or cervix
is not removed place will rupture leading to hemorrhage and maybe death
embryonic period - week 2 events (6)
development of trophoblast
development of bilaminar embryonic disc
development of amnion
development of umbilical vesicle
development of sinusoids
development of chorion
development of trophoblast occurs in week:
2
development of trophoblast can only occur in trophoblast cells that are:
in contact iwth the endometrium
development of trophoblast (2)
trophoblasts contacting endometrium rapidly divide into two layers
syncytiotrophoblast - outermost layer
- secretes enzymes that allow blastocytes to burrow during implantation
cytotrophoblast - inner layer between syncytiotrophoblasts and embryoblast
both of these layers will become part of the chorion as they grow
what will teh two layers of trophoblasts become part of, and what are they
syncytiotrophoblast (inner), and cytotrophoblasts (outer) become part of the chorion
when does the embryoblast differentiate into two layers?
around day 8
bilaminar embryonic disc is formed from
differentiation of the embryoblast in week 2
parts of the bilaminar embryonic disc (2) and what they will form in the body
hypoblast (outer) - layer of cuboidal cells
- this will form lining of GI/respiratory tracts (primitive endoderm)
epiblast (inner) - layer of columnar cells
- this will form the epidermis and nervous system (primitive ectoderm)
