the cell that results forms from the union of the female oocyte and a male sperm during fertilization.
zygote
The zygote is the first stage in the development of a human being.
the stage of development that extends from fertilization to the end of the eighth week of development (day 56). By the end of this period, all major structures are present.
embryonic stage of development
the stage of development that begins on day 57 and extends until the fetus is born. This is a period of growth and differentiation of tissues and organs formed in the embryonic period.
fetal stage of development
a complex sequence of events that begins with the male sperm contacting the female oocyte and results in the intermingling of egg and sperm chromosomes
fertilization
a series of mitotic cell divisions of the zygote that result in the formation of the early embryonic cells called blastomeres. The size of the cleaving zygote remains unchanged because at each division the blastomeres become smaller.
cleavage divisions
the stage of development that begins after the developing embryo (called the morula at this stage) enters the uterus and a fluid filled cavity develops inside it. The developing embryo is now called a embryoblast.
blastocyst
a group of centrally located blastomeres that will give rise to the embryo
inner cell mass (embryoblast)
a thin outer cell layer which gives rise to the embryonic portion of the placenta
outer cell mass (trophoblast)
the internal layer of the uterus, formed by simple columnar epithelium with a connective tissue stroma. The layers of the _____ can be distinguished microscopically as the functional layer (shed during menstruation and parturition) and basal layer (stem cell layer). During pregnancy the functional layer of the endometrium is called the decidua.
endometrium
Following attachment to the endometrium the trophoblast proliferates rapidly to form the two cell layers. Name the mitotically active inner layer.
cytotrophoblast
the outer mass of the trophoblast consisting of a multinucleated mass in which no cells boundaries are observed
syncytiotrophoblast
structure formed by extraembryonic mesoderm, syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast. It contributes to the fetal portion of the placenta.
chorion
Implantation of the blastocyst outside of the uterus, most commonly in the ampulla of the oviduct.
ectopic pregnancy
Changes occur in the embryoblast (inner cell mass) during the second week of development that result in the formation of flatplate of cells called the ….
bilaminar disc
the thick, dorsal aspect of the bilaminar disc, consisting of high columnar cells related to the amniotic cavity
epiblast
the ventral layer of the bilaminar disc located below the epiblast. Also called primitive endoderm, the small cuboidal cells are related to the yolk sac formation and extraembryonic mesoderm, but do not contribute to the tissues of the embryo.
hypoblast
the ventral structure lined by hypoblast cells, below the hypoblast layer. Important functions include origin of primordial germ cells, early blood cell development and regulation of nutrients to the embryo.
yolk sac
the cells that separate from the epiblast to form the upper cavity. This cavity surrounds the embryo and fetus and contains liquid that is critical to the health of the developing embryo.
amnion and amnionic cavity
the thickened band of epiblast cells appearing at the beginning of week three in the caudal, dorsal aspect of the bilaminar disc. The epiblast cells will migrate through this streak to form endoderm and mesoderm during gastrulation.
primitive streak
the important period of epiblast proliferation, migration and differentiation. It is the process by which the three germ layers develop.
gastrulation
germ layers
the portion of ectoderm from which the outer surface of the body arises
surface ectoderm
the portion of ectoderm from which brain and spinal cord arise. Early stages include the neural plate and neural tube
neural ectoderm
a primitive mesodermal structure that defines the midline of the embryo, the vertebal column and base of skull develop around it
notochord
Agents in the environment that can produce birth defects
Teratogens
What are the two successive phase of prenatal development?
the embryonic stage and the fetal stage
When is the embryonic stage and why is it significant?
begins at fertilization and ends on day 56
The embryonic stage is significant for cellular proliferation, migration, and differentiation followed by the formation of all major internal and external organs and structures
all the major events of organ formation occur during the embryonic period
When is the fetal period of development and why is it significant?
Day 57 until birth
The fetal period is significant for growth and maturation of the organ systems that are established during the embryonic period.
Agents in the environment that can produce birth defects
Teratogens
The period of maximal sensitivity to teratogens is…
between 3-8 weeks
What are the three layers of the uterus?
- Perimetrium: a serous layer lining the external wall
- Myometrium: a thick, smooth muscle layer
- Endometrium: the internal layer facing the lumen of the uterus.
What are the layers of the endometrium and what are their functions?
- Stratum functionale: This thick functional layer of the endometrium faces the lumen and proliferates the female cycle. It is sloughed (shed) off during menstruation. This is where implantation takes place.
- Stratum basale (basal layer): The deep (furthest from the lumen) layer that is retained during menstruation and serves as a source to regenerate the stratum functionale.
ampulla
the longest portion of the uterine tube and typically where fertilization occurs
Function of the ovaries?
growth, maturation, and release of the female gamete (oocyte) and hormone production
Time frame and Events of the Menstrual Phase of the Menstrual Cycle
day 1-5: blood, uterine fluid, cells of stratum functionale constitute menstrual flow as when functional layer is shed
Time frame and Events of the Proliferative Phase of the Menstrual Cycle
day 6-14: stromal, epithelial and endothelial cell proliferation in functional layer. Ovulation takes place day 14 and has a 24 hour life cycle.
Time Frame and Events of the Secretory Phase of the Menstrual cycle
day 15- 28: glands enlarge, thick functional layer. Increased blood supply and preparation for implantation around day 21
Where do gametes (eggs) mature?
Ovary
Zona pellucida
A thick extracellular layer of glycoproteins that enclose the oocyte
corona radiata
cell surrounding the gamete
consequences of fertilization
- alteration of the zona pellucida to block the entry of more sperm
- fusion of two haploid nuclei into one diploid nucleus (46 chromosomes)
- the fertilized egg is a single cell called the zygote
- determination of the chromosomal sex of the zygote (male or female)
- mitotic cell division called cleavage divisions begin
where does fertilization occur?
in the oviduct
what are the two significant events happen during the second week of development?
The developing embryo becomes fully implanted in the female endometrium The embryoblast layer (inner cell mass) gives rise to a two-layered disc (bilaminar disc)
what is the epiblast?
upper (dorsal) layer of columnar cells of the bilaminar disk in embryonic development
What is the hypoblast?
lower (ventral) layer of cuboidal cells in the bilaminar disc stage of embryonic development
Amniotic Cavity
The rudiment of the amnion forms from cells of the epiblast called amnioblasts. These cells enclose a fluid-filled space (the amniotic cavity) that develops between the epiblast and the adjoining cytotrophoblast (placental tissue). The amniotic cavity faces the dorsal aspect of the embryoblast. Normal amniotic fluid volume is critical to development
Yolk sac
The yolk sac forms ventral to the hypoblast of the bilayer embryo. The yolk sac regresses as development continues, typically obliterated by the time of birth.
What are the Major Events during week two of Development?
- Formation of the bilaminar disc (epiblast and hypoblast)
- Development of the amniotic cavity and the yolk sac
- Development of the extraembryonic mesoderm
- Formation of the chorionic cavity
- Cells and tissues that will contribute to the placenta begin to organize and proliferate
What are the gastrulation events?
- some epiblast cells lose their cell adhesion molecules and undergo mitotic divisions
- some epiblast cells change shape and migrate toward the primitive streak
- at the primitive streak, they slip out of the epiblast layer to beneath the basal lamina
- the early migrating cells displace the hypoblast cells to form a new sheet-like epithelial layer, the endoderm
- the later migrating cells spread between the epiblast and the endoderm to form the embryonic mesoderm
- the cells that remain in the epiblast differentiate to form another “new” sheet-like epithelial layer called ectoderm
