Lesson 11 Flashcards
what is day 0 of embryonic development (form and what is happening)
- zygote
- formed from sperm and egg nuclei fusion
- divides without growth to form small cells called blastocytes
what is day 3 of embryonic development (form and what is happening)
- morula
- when zygotic division reaches 32 cells
what is day 4-6 in embryonic development (form and what is happening)
- blastocyst
- hollowed-out morula
- has inner cell mass and outer trophoblast layer
inner cell mass of blastocyst does what?
forms the embryonic body
out trophoblast layer of blastocyst does what?
forms the chorion and fetal part of placenta
implantation of embryonic development
blastocyst attaches to uterine wall
what is day 7 of embryonic development (form and what happens)
- blastocyst implants with inner cell mass facing uterine wall
- trophoblast secretes enzyme to erode uterine mucosa to expose vascular network in submucosa
- chorionic villi from trophoblast and uterine tissue will form placenta
- as implanted blastocyst grows the three embryonic layers form
what are the three embryonic layers
- amnion
- yolk sac
- allantois
amnion
- encases embryo in fluid-filled chamber
- protects against trauma, temp, and adhesion from rapid embryonic growth
yolk sac
forms embryo’s first blood cells and primordial germ cells here migrate to embryo body to form become germ cells in gonadal tissue
allantois
helps form umbilical cord
what is day 14 of embryonic development (form and what happens)
- uterine mucosa envelops embryo
- uterine wall beneath inner cell mass will form part of placenta
- embryo in gastrula stage
decidua capsularis
uterine mucosa enveloping embryo
decidua basalis
uterine wall beneath inner mass
what is the gastrula stage of the embryo
three primary germ layers present and begin to differentiate for the next six weeks
what are the three layers that form in the gastrula stage
- endoderm
- ectoderm
- mesoderm
endoderm
forms mucosa of digestive and respiratory system and their associated glands
ectoderm
forms skin and nervous system
mesoderm
forms skeleton, skeletal muscles, walls of digestive organs, urinary, and circulatory system, etc.
what happens in week 9 of embryonic development
- embryo is referred to as a fetus
- major focus of development at this point for fetal growth and tissue/organ specialization/growth
