Lectures 5-7 Flashcards
Microlecithal egg:
SMall amt. yolk
Mesolecithal egg:
Moderate amt. yolk
Macrolecithal egg:
Large amt. yolk
Isolecithal egg:
yolk evenly distributed throughout egg.
Telolecithal egg:
Yolk is concentrated at one end of the egg
Why micro/meso/macrolecithal eggs?
micro: Depend on external source of nutrients…mammals
Meso: enough energy for tadpole and to metamorphosis
Macro: enough yolk to provide adult-like form
Developmental steps for frog embryo
1: passes through animal-vegetal axis- 2 daughters
2: passes through animal-vegetal axis perpendicular to first cut-4 daughters
3: perpendicular to the 1st 2 cuts- 8 cells [unequal-macro/micromeres]
4: cuts continue to 32-64 cells
5: cells separate from internal cavity [blastocoel]-animal pole side
6: after blastulation, gatrulation begins: layerings form rearranged hollow ball
7: neurulation: formation of neural tube-CNS
How does neurulation compare in frog to vertebrate?
Looks similar: pretty much the same
Vegetal pole
Side of egg w/ concentrated yolk
Animal pole
OPPO end of egg w/o yolk
Meroblastic or discoidal cleavage
not cleaving through a ball of yolk like frog—birds have macrolecithal eggs there is only room for blastodisc cleavage.
Discoidal cleavage Avians:
1: furrow in cytoplasm of disc @ animal pole
2: 1st cleavage plane is not into yolk.
3: 2nd cleavage is perpendicular to the 1st.-4 equal sized blastomeres
4: 3rd cleavage lie parallel on either side of 1st–8 blastomeres.
5: 4th cleavage-circular furrow forms periphery of the 1st 3 -16 blastomeres.
6: yolk creates subgerminal space
7: 16-32 stage cleavage parallel blastodisc-multiple layers of blastomeres.
8: several hundred cell-stage=blastoderm
9: 2 cell layers[upper/lower] Separate making cavity in middle DELAMINIATION
10: could be considered blastocoel or gastrocoel
Mammalian developmental steps:
1: 1st cleavage is holoblastic.
2: first several cleavages similar to amphibian egg [equal and perpendicular to each other]
3: after 4th cleavage, it becomes unequal
4: after 4.5 days, 8 larger inner cells and 99 outer cells
Inner cells=
Inner cell mass
Outer cells=
Trophoblast layer
Trophoblast:
Trophoblast attaches to the lining of the uterus and forms 2 tissues:
1-cytotrophoblast: chorion
2-Syncytiotrophoblast: erodes into the uterus
BECOMES the PLACENTA
Inner cell mass
Becomes the embryo proper: amnion, yolk sac, and allantoic stalk
Advantages to development in aquatic environment:
CO2 and O2 readily diffuses, readily excrete nitrogenous wastes, dessication is reduced risk.
disadvantages to development in terrestrial environment:
- Difficult to keep membrane moist
- can’t dilute ammonia waste product
- nutrition may not be readily available in terrestrial.
Four extra embryonic membranes:
Amnion
Chorion
Yolk sac
Allantois
Chorion
Involved in the formation of the placenta
Amnion
Creates fluid-filled environment for protecting embryo from dessication
Yolk sac
Preliminary site for the formation of blood cells and germ cells
Allantois
Forms the umbilical cord connecting embryo to placenta
Functions of the vertebrate integument:
Protection Coloration Sensory reception Excretion Gas exchange Water regulation Temperature regulation Food storage Nourishment Locomotion
Anatomy of the protochordate integument
Simple epithelium on simple gelatinous connective, no dermis, no glands……
Vertebrate has stratified squamous epidermis rests on basement membrane
Vertebrate integument
Stratified squamous epithelium on basement membrane which is dense irregular connective
