Lesson 6 Part 3 Flashcards
Stem cells - 1st 4 days of life
Totipotent stem cells
These stem cells have the potential to form a complete human being
Totipotent stem cells
Next 4 days, cells begins to differentiate and slate to become specific body cells
Pluripotent stem cells
Highly specific cells
Multipotent cells
2 separate cavities appear in the inner structure of germ layers
Amniotic cavity
Yolk saks
Supply nourishment only until implantation
Yolk sacs
It serves as source of RBCS
Yolk sac
Between the amniotic cavity and yolk sac, 3rd layer of primary cells
Mesoderm
The 3 germ layers meet at a point called
Embryonic shield
Fetus continually swallow this
Amniotic fluid
The normal volume of AF
800-1200 ml
If fetus is unable to swallow the af, what are the common reasons
Esophageal atresia
Anencephaly
Excessive AF
Hydramnios / polyhydramnios
Reduction in the amount of AF
Oligohydramnios
A disturbance in the kidney function
Oligohydramnios
