Micro- embryology and gametogenesis Flashcards
Trace the development of a zygote through gastrulation
Form a single cell zygote, compact mass of cells morula, fluid filled cysts with cells at the periphery Blastula, Bilaminar disk Early gastrula, Trilaminar disk to tube shape Late gastrula.
This is the nucleus of sperm of egg cell during the process of fertilization. These do not fuse but however their genetic material does. These will form the singl diplod nucleus resulting in an embryo. The zygote will contain male and female ___.
male and female pronuclei
This is the division of cells in the early embryo. The zygote undergoes rapid cell cycles with no significant growth producing clusters of cells.
This is known as cleavage
This is A cluster of blastomeres. The zona pellucida is still intact in this structure.
Morula
In this structure the cavity begins to form , inner and outer masses are present.
blastocyst
This forms the embryo
inner cell mass
This forms the dorsal layer of the embryo
epiblast
This forms the ventral layer of the embryo
hyoblast
This is an outer cell mass that forms the placenta
trophoblast
Formation of three germ layers and the primitive axial organs (___ ____,____ ____,_____, _______ ____) Begins with the formation of the primitive streak in the epiblast (cranial and caudal aspects are now established.
neural tube, notochord, somites, primitive gut. This is known as gastrulation
Epithelium, nervous tissue and neural crest cell is found in?
ectoderm
connective tissue, muscle, endothelium, mesothelium, urogenital system. This area is formed from cells migrating from the primitive streak
mesoderm
This is the epithelium of digestive tract and respiratory system
endoderm
Any agent or factor that can cause congenital anomalies in an embryo or fetus that is caused by; genetic factors , radiation, hormones, chemical agents, and infectous agents
Teratogen
Parent of all cells, differentiate into all cells
totipotent
differentiate into specific cells
pluripotent /multipotent
differentiate into a specific cell line (bone marrow and blood cells)
unipotent
When organs begin to form and migrate to specific sites
migration
this is the process by which an immature cell reaches maturity
differentiation
The “skeleton” or threshold of all organs (structures that keep the organ in place)
mesenchyme
List the 4 divisions of mesoderm based on their position in the embryo.
Axial
paraxial
intermediate and lateral plate
4 divisions of mesoderm : The formation of the notochord
Axial
4 divisions of mesoderm:Somites!! somite-division of animal’s body giving rise to muscle, cartilage, tendons, and dermis (limbs and vertebrae).
Dermatome=?
Myotome=?
Sclerotome=?
Paraxial
dermis
muscle
cartilage and splanchnic mesoderms
4 divisions of mesoderm:genital and urinary systems
intermediate
4 divisions of mesoderm:somatic and splanchnic mesoderms
lateral plate
Predifferentiation stage: embryo dies
Organogenesis stage: structural defects
Fetal growth stage : affects functional maturation
These are examples of?
Teratogenic influences on development
cleft palate, umbilical hernia, spina bifida,atrial septal defect are all examples of?
common developmental anomalies
Abnormalities of testicular descent: This is when the testis fail to descend into the scrotum. This is inherited as a sex-limited autosomal recessive trait.
cryptorchidism
