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
4 fetal membranes that develop in a mammalian or avian conceptus
° Amnion
° Chorion
° Yolk Sac
° Allantois
two fetal membranes are derived from extraembryonic somatopleure of the blastocyst.
Amnion and Chorion
two fetal membranes are derived from extraembryonic splanchnopleure and extraembryonic splanchnic.
Yolk Sac and Allantois
source of early nutrition but later shrinks and become non-functional
yolk sac
outpocketing of small intestine
Meckel’s diverticulum
delimits the extent of growth of the splanchnopleure over the yolk.
sinus terminalis or marginal vein
most important in egg laying vertebrates
yolk sac
short stump of splanchnopleure formed by the folding of the body and closure of the gut tube.
yolk stalk
in what stage, the egg albumen losses water due to absorption by the embryo, rapidly decreases in size and is forced to the distal end of the yolk sac by the expanding Allantois.
embryonic development
present in reptiles, birds and manmals (amniotes) and absent in fishes and amphibians (anamniotes).
Amnion
formed by convergence of the head, lateral and tail folds at the dorsal midline of the embryo
inner sac of extraembryonic somatopleure
filled with amniotic fluid in which the embryo floats.
amnion
amniotic fluid can contain fetal feces called?
meconium
it is formed by fusion of chorioamniotic folds at the dorsal midline of the embryo.
inner sac
persist in the chick but may not persist in mammal
chorioamniotic raphe (mesamnion)
functions of amnion
° allows free movement of the embryo
° antibacterial
° allows fetal growth
° prevents adhesion of fetal membranes
derived from extraembryonic somatopleure. the outer sac that forms the outer boundary of the entire conceptus
chorion
consists of an outer surface ectoderm and an inner somatic mesoderm.
chorion
ventral diverticulum of the hindgut splanchnopleure.
Allantois
become the umbilical vessels
allantoic vessels
developing embryo uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, i.e. it has respiration.
respiratory
Allantois removes the wastes that result from embryo’s metabolism and deposits it in the allantoic cavity.
excretory
allantois provides the means for the embryo to access the albumen and the calcium of the shell.
