Q

When does the ovum complete meiosis 2

21
Q

Calcium ions are released into the cytoplasm and initiates the formation of the fertilization membrane

A

Cortical reaction

22
Q

Hard layer surrounding the ovum cell membrane and prevents multiple fertilizations

A

Fertilization membrane

23
Q

When a single zygote splits into two embryos.

A

Monozygotic twins

24
If the zygote splits at the two cell stage ?
Embryos will have separate chorions and placentas
25
If the zygote splits at the blastula stage
Only one chorionic sac and will share a placenta and possibly an amnion
26
When two ova are released in one ovarian cycle and fertilized by two different sperm
Dizygotic (fraternal) twins
27
Rapid mitotic divisions lead to an increase in cell number without a corresponding growth in cell protoplasm (total volume of cytoplasm remains constant )
Cleavage
28
Ball of embryonic cells is ___. When this develops a fluid filled cavity cavity ___ begins
Morula | Blastulation
29
A fluid filled cavity during Blastulation
Blastocoel
30
What stage is the embryo when it implants in the uterus
Blastula
31
How does emergency contraception work ?
Inhibits implantation of the blastula in the uterus I
32
When the embryo implants outside the uterus
Ectopic pregnancy
33
When the embryo is fully implanted in the uterus and it becomes a 3 layered structure
Gastrula
34
Endoderm?
Epithelial linings of the digestive and respiratory tract , part of the liver , pancreas , thyroid , and bladder lining
35
Mesoderm?
Gives rise to the musculoskeletal system , circulatory system , excretory system , excretory system , gonads , connective tissue , portions of digestive and respiratory organs
36
Rod of mesodermal cells developing along the longitudinal axis. Under the dorsal later of the ectoderm.
Notochord
37
What does the neural tube give rise to ?
Brain and spinal cord
38
What do neural crest cells give rise to?
``` Peripheral nervous system Sensory ganglia Autonomic ganglia Adrenal medulla Schwann cells ```
39
When the neural tube does not close properly ? | What can be done to stop this
Spina bifida | Folic acid
40
4 extra embryonic membrane formed during development
Amnion Chorion Allantois Yolk sac
41
A thin tough membrane containing a water fluid. Acts as a shock absorber during gestation and uterine contractions
Amnion
42
Membrane that completely surrounds the amnion. Assists with transfer of nutrients from the mother to the fetus.
Chorion
43
A third membrane that develops as an out pocketing of the gut. It's blood vessels become the umbilical vessels. This connects the fetus to the developing placenta
Allantois
44
The site of early development of blood vessels , becomes associated with the umbilical vessels
Yolk sac
45
Major organs begin to develop , heart begins to beat, eyes gonads limbs and liver start to form . Cartilaginous skeleton begins to turn to bone by the 7th week. At the end is a fetus and is 9cm long
First trimester
46
Tremendous amount of growing. Begins to move face appears human. Toes and fingers elongate. 30-36 cm long.
Second trimester
47
Rapid growth. Further brain development. Antibodies are transported by highly selective active transport from the mother to the fetus for protection against foreign matter. Less active.
Third trimester
48
3 stages of labour
Cervix thins and dilates, amniotic sax ruptures Rapid contractions, birth of baby Birth of placenta and umbilical cord
49
Upon ovulation, the follicle is released into the ?
Abdominal cavity
50
Determinate cleavage
Results in cells whose differentiation pathways are clearly define. Incapable of individually developing into complete organisms
51
When do the primary germ layers appear ?
Gastrulation
