Lecture 8- Early embryology 1 Flashcards
how does one become a multicellular body?
- growth
- morphogenesis
- specialisation
morphogenesis
development of form and structure
from fertilisation to birth (3 stages)
pre-embryonic
embryonic
fetal
pre-embryonic
weeks 1-2
embryonic
3 to 9
foetal
9 to 38
pregnancy weeks is calculated from
date of last menstrual period
where does fertilisation take place
ampulla of the fallopian tubes
fertilised oocyte is called a
zygote
where is the ideal place for the embryo to implant
posterior uterine wall
pre-embryonic weeks (1-2) weeks involves
- cleavage
- compaction
- Implantation begins
cleavage occurs
within 30h of fetilisation (day 2)
what is cleavage
first mitts division resulting in two blastomeres of equal size
zona pellucida
forms around zygote and morula
morula formed when
32 cells within structure
cells in the morula are said to be
totipotent
totipotent
potential to become any cell
compaction
formation of first cavity in morula (blastocoel)
during compunction which structure is formed
blastocyst
before compaction all cells are
totipotent
after compact cell become
pluirpotent
pluripotent
capacity to become many cells
