Stages of Animal Development Flashcards
source: bioportal
The development starts with the ________ and ends only with _____.
formation of sex cells; death
STAGES OF ANIMAL DEVELOPMENT
Gametogenesis
Fertilization
Cleavage
Gastrulation
Organogenesis
Formation of gametes
Gametogenesis
Can be either spermatogenesis or oogenesis
Gametogenesis
It is the union of an ovum and a spermatozoon and results in a unicellular diploid zygote.
Fertilization
involves a series of mitotic divisions to produce a multicellular blastula from a unicellular zygote.
Cleavage
begins with the zygote and ends with the blastocyst.
Cleavage
Cleavage process
- Zygote
- 4 Cell stage
- Morula
- Early blastocyst
- Implanting Blastocyst
formation of three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
Gastrulation
Derivatives of Germ Layers
endosperm
germ cells
ectoderm
mesoderm
GERM LAYERS
Ectoderm
Mesoderm
Endoderm
Nervous system (brain and spinal cord), epidermis, sense organs
Ectoderm - forms the exoskeleton
muscles, bones, cartilage, circulatory, excretory, and reproductive organs
Mesoderm - develops into organs
digestive and respiratory organs, endocrine glands, germ cells and gametes
Endoderm - forms the inner lining of organs
