Reproductive Flashcards
sonic hedgehog gene
produced at base of limbs
anterioposterior axis
mutation –> holoprosencephaly
apical ectodermal ridge
gene
what it does
Wnt-7 gene, FGF gene
organisation along dorsal-ventral axis, mesoderm mitosis (lengthens limbs)
craniocaudal direction for appendages
Homeobox gene
when does hCG secretion start?
implantation of blastocyst - day 6
week 2 of embryo
2 layers - bilaminar disc
week 3 of embryo
3 layers
primitive streak
what does ectoderm become by the notochord?
neural plate
week 4 of embryo
4 limbs, 4 chambers
heart begins to beat
organogenesis
notochord closes
week 6 embryo
can detect heart beat
week 8 foetus
begins to move
when are sex characteristics developed?
week 10
disruption of organogenesis
secondary breakdown of previously normal tissue or structure
amniotic band syndrome
extrinsic disruption
intrinsic disruption
deformation (post embryonic)
malformation (embryonic 3-8 weeks)
