Pregnancy And Development Flashcards
Differenation
One cell becomes trillions = different cell types
Development can be broken down into two different segments
Prenatal development
Post natal development
Prenatal development
Fertilization = zygote
Uterus 0-8 = embryo
Uterus 9-40 = fetus
Postnatal development
Birth > maturity
Development
Gradual modification of anatomical structures and physiologic characteristics from conception to maturity.
Zygote
1cell
As soon as it becomes 2 cells > blastomere
Morula
Solid ball of cells after 3 days of cleavage (diuding)
Blastula
Inner cell mass - will feed embryo
Trophoblast - will feed embryo
Hollow
( 2 days only)
Implantation
Days 7-10
Ball of cells must borrow into endometrium and plant roots in order to obtain nutrients and 02
Gastrulation
Formation of ger in layers (rearrangement of cells)
Extra embryonic structures
1) Yolk Sac
2) Amnion
3) Alantois
4) Chorion
Yolk Sac
Will be important site of blood formation
Amnion
Encloses amniotic fluid that surrounds and cushion embryo
Alantois
Gives rise to urinary bladder, accumulates urine from embryo
Chorion
Rapid transit system linking embryo trophoblast (provides nutrition to embryo)
