Session 3 and 4 Flashcards
What is the pre embryonic period?
describe what happens in this period
Describe the process of fertilisation
from oocyte to implantation
Describe what happens in week 1 (how the blastocyst is formed)
cleavage zona pellucida morula blastocyst- what does this contain? totipotent and pluripotent hatching implantation
How do assisted reproductive techniques work?
in vitro
4 or 8 cell stage
morula to uterus
PGD
What happens in week 2?
differentiation
syncytiotrophoblast
cytotrophoblast
bilaminar disk (what is this?)
What is the fibrin plug?
blood clot
What happens by the end of week 2?
implanted embryo + its two cavities suspended within supporting sac
Describe the process of implantation
interstitial
blood flow
chorionic villus
What are the conditions linked to implantation defects? Describe them
IUGR
pre eclampsia
ectopic pregnancy (Fallopian tube implant)
placenta praevia (lower uterine segment implantation)
Describe the embryonic pole and the abembryonic pole
syncytiotrophoblast
primitive yolk sac
What happens in the latter half of the second week?
primitive yolk sac pushed away reticulum layer maternal sinusoids uteroplacental circulation secondary yolk sac extraembryonic mesoderm connecting stalk
Define the different cavities (blastocyst cavity, amniotic sac, primitive yolk sac, secondary yolk sac, extraembryonic coelom)
first cavity spaces within the epiblast hypoblast lining blastocyst cavity definitive yolk sac chorionic cavity
Describe the embryonic period
3 to 8
change
malformation
What is teratogenesis and when is it possible?
the process by which congenital malformations are produced in an embryo or fetus
pre embryonic
embryonic
fetal
What are the key events?
fertilisation and implantation gastrulation neurulation segmentation folding
What is the primitive streak?
epiblast
dorsal surface
leads to the migration and invagination of epiblast cells
Describe the process of invagination and migration
epiblast cells intracellular junctions embryonic disk hypoblast third layer
What is the trilaminar disk?
ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm
epiblast layer
remove ectoderm layer
endoderm two patches
mouth anus
What are the derivatives of the sections of the trilaminar disk?
organs structures
contact with outside world
nervous system
epidermis
supporting tissues
muscle cartilage bone
vascular system
internal structures
epithelial lining of GI
respiratory tract too
What is situs invertus?
mirror image
immotile cilia
problem forms from both normal and mirror image
