25
What is a Chorion?
The outermost fetal membrane around the embryo (mammals birds). Develops from an outer fold on the surface of the yolk sac, which lies outside ZP (in mammals); vitelline membrane in Poulty.
26
What is the function of the Cotyledons? What are they?
Are C.Frondusum together forming spherical balls Receive fetal blood from chorionic vessels, which branch off cotyledon vessels into the cotyledons, which, in turn, branch into capillaries. The cotyledons are surrounded by maternal blood, which can exchange oxygen and nutrients with the fetal blood in the capillaries.
27
The Chorion Frondosum in the Zonary placenta is organized forming what structure?
Forming a band surrounding the middle embryo area.
28
Which placenta type only has Chorion Frondosum?
Carnivore Zonary placenta
29
The cotyledons originate from
Chorion; cotyledons are many C.F together forming spherical structure
30
Placentas can be classified according to
Morphologically, Histologically or according to uterine mucosa
31
Histological classification of placenta is dependent on what?
On number of cell layers separating maternal from foetal blood
32
Morphological classification of placenta is dependent on what?
On chorion villi type
33
What are the maternal cell layers sperating maternal from foetal blood?
Endothelium (cells surrounding embryo b.v), connective tissue (forms uterus) and endometrial epithelium (most external part)
34
The uterus is formed by what?
Formed by endometrium surrounded by epithelium
35
What is /are the most external embryo cell layer?
The chronic epithelium
36
Where does the connective tissue from the embryonic cell layer come from?
From the embryo
37
Endothelium is?
Cells surrounding embryo + blood vessels
38
All cell layers are destroyed except for which type of placental histological classification?
Epitheliochorial
39
What is destroyed in an Endotheliochorial placenta?
the maternal tissue and connective tissue
40
Which placenta type allows for the greatest /easier antibody passage?
Haemochorial
41
What layers are destroyed in an Haemochorial placenta?
Endothelium, maternal connective tissue, endometrial epithelium (surrounded by blood vessels)
42
Which structures are destroyed/lost in a Syndesmochorial placenta?
Endometrial Endothelium
43
Which structures is lost/destroyed in an Endothelial placenta?
Endometrial epithelium and maternal connective tissue
44
Which structures is lost/destroyed in an Haemochorial placenta?
Endometrial epithelium + maternal connective tissue + endothelium
45
What does the chorionic sac cover?
It’s the most external membrane- covers embryo + embryonic annexes (foetal placental formed by outer blastomer)
46
The outer blastoderm forms the?
Trophoblast
47
The umbilical cord is responsible for?
The communication between mother + foetus
48
The amnion fluid?
Prevents desiccation
49
Inside the umbilical arteries we find what type of blood vessel arteries?
Umbilical arteries (deox blood) and umbilical veins (oxygenated blood- mom🡪kid)
50
Mammals have:
2 umbilical arteries and 2 umbilical veins
51
Define the equine placenta type
Completely Diffused; Epithelial Cordial; Adeciduate; shape Concave
52
How long is an equine umbilical cord?
1 mtr
53
Mare with twin birth can be problematic; it can lead to:
Congential disorders; normally 1 twin dies due to lack of space (vesicle has to be popped)
54
Umbilical cord length in ruminants?
¼ of foetus length
55
The “Free Martinism Processes” happens in what species? Is described as what?
Occurring in cows with twins Both twins will be viable/health is both same sex; if NOT same sex then FMP ossucrs causing congenital malformation on the female cow (aka-male fetus gets more developed; female cow will be born unfertile).
56
Consequences of “Free Martinism Processes”?
Congenital disorders in female embryo; resulting in infertile/sterile female (abnormal repro track).
57
Preg period of a Pig
114 days (3m, 3w, 3 d)
58
What things are exceptions and did not develop during the foetal period?
Organ + tissue development, foetal metabolism and nutrition, foetal growth
59
What is the most important change after birth?
Cardiorespiratory system
60
What systems are still immature after birth?
Circulatory and respiratory system
61
During the foetal period the circulatory system development is carried out by what organ?
Liver
62
Post Foetal period, the circulatory system development is carried out by what organ?
Bone marrow producing RBC
63
The 1st brith is important; it provides
The alveoli to expand and start working
64
The Respiratory system (lungs) during the Foetal period is immature, being that the lungs are?
Collapsed – only maturating after birth
65
Common factors affecting foetal growth are:
Genetic + environmental factors
66
What are the 3 most important + common changes occurring post foetal period (post birth)?
Cardio-Respiratory; Thermoregulatory; Immunology s(takes time to complete and still immature; in totally takes about 4-6 months to complete hence why colostrum is so important)
67
Which are the mechanisms and processes affecting embryo development?
Cellular differentiation; Patterning (Hoax genes); cell migration; growth; cell death
68
A Stem cell forming another cell is an example of?
Cellular differentiation
69
What controls the patterning process?
Patterning is the process of cell or tissue organization. Morphogens (structures) control the process of Patterning (eg. Hoax genes)
70
Hoax Genes?
Are a grp of related genes controlling body development in embryo. If abnormal can cause mutation (congenital disorder-abnormal embryo development) [e.g syndactyly- 2 digit fusion]
71
Hypertrophy vs Hyperplasia?
Hypertrophy is increase in cell size Hyperplasia is increase in cell number
72
Cell Death is classified into:
Apoptosis: naturally occurring cell death (programmed) Necrosis: injured cell, causing premature death in living tissue, Necrosis occurs via Autolysis
73
Teratology can be described by:
The science that studies congenital disorders
74
Teratogens are:
Substances that cause congenital disorder
75
Effects of Teratogenic agents can cause:
Congenital disorders (cyfosis, scoliosis excenceohalia)
