Multifactorial Conditions Flashcards
EGA
Embryonic genome activation
ESSP
Embryonic stage-specific pattern
Week 1 abnormalities
Within oocyte or spermatozoa or as a result of combination of the zygote
Generally fail to develop through blastocyst stage
Week 1 abnormality that develops
Trisomy 21 (down syndrome)
Week 2 consists of
Conceptus, bastocyst differentiation, and X inactivation
HcG - when is it released and what does it do?
Human chorionic gonadotropin…released in response to implantation
Initiates materan lhormonal changes, stopping menstruation
Used as a detection ofrm odern pregnancy tests
Day 6-7 what happens?
Implantation commences
Adplantation
Begins with inital adhesion to uterine epithelium…blastocyst slows and rolls and aligns with ICM closest to epithelium and stops
Implantation and when it happens
Migrations of blastocyst into uterine epithelium…complete by day 9
Coagulation plug
Left where blastocyst entered uterine wall
Day 12
Normal implantation sites
Uterine wall superior, posterior, and lateral
Day 8-9 what happens
Differentiation
Differentiation summary
Outer trophoblast - syncitotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast
Embryobalst (ICM) - epiplast and hypoblast
State referred to as bilainar embryo
X-inactivation occurs on what day and how?
Day 9…presence in female embryos of two XX raises gene dosage…inactivated one of X chromosomes…
All progeny of cell with a particular X chromsome inactivated,
Will have same chromosome inactivated
Ectopic pregnancy
Abnormal implantation.
Implantation outside the uterus
Hydatidiform moles occur when______
Only coneptus trophonlast layers proliferate but not embryoblast
Hydatidiform moles…what happens and how to diagnose?
No embyro but tropho secrete hCG
Use US to see no embryo
Week 3
Early placentation
Gastrulation
Folding
