Others Events During Early Embryogenesis Flashcards
referred to as the development of two (2) or more embryos in a dam.
Embryonic dumplication or twinning
Several causes of embryonic duplication
- FERTILIZATION of separately ovulated ova
- COMPLETE or partial separation of blastomeres and blastocysts during cleavage stages
- DUPLICATIONS after gastrula stage when specific organ-forming regions called ‘fields’ are being organized.
- ONE blood supply shared by completely separated twins.
derived from a single zygote that eventually divides or duplicates itself.
Free Symmetrical Monozygotic Twins/ identical twins
type of twins originated from a single zygote (monozygotic).
conjoined or fused symmetrical twins
result from incomplete separation of blastomeres later in embryonic development
primitive streak stage
results if the twins are nearly complete
diplopagus (two-fold joined)
fusion is at the sternal region of the thorax
thoracopagus twins
fusion is at the abdomen
abdominopagus twins
fusion is back to back at the pelvis or sacrum
pygopagus
fusion is in the head region
cephalopagus
result from duplication of future axial structures which may occur during the primitive streak stage
Abnormal twins or monsters
two heads
dicephalus
two tails
dicaudatus
2 pairs/four pelvic limbs
tetrascelus
two faces
driprosopus
two pairs/four of thoracic limbs
tetrabrachius
this consist of separate twin one is normal and the other is rudimentary that survives by being attached to the blood supply of fetal membranes of the normal twin
Free, Asymmetrical Twins
it is common in cow
mummified fetus
twins occur after gastrulation when specific fields are become organized.
Conjoined, Asymmetrical Twins
type of twinning results when two (or more) zygotes develop separately and independently with separate fetal membranes and placenta
Free Symmetrical Dizygotic Twins or Fraternal Twins
twins are of different sexes the female twin will have an abnormally developed genital system
freemartin
membranes develop by folding-off of the embryo during the neurula stage.
Extraembryonic (fetal) Membranes
forms of the fetal placenta in mammals.
Chorioallantoic membrane (CAM)
contains the conceptus
chronic vesicle
