Q

After fusion of male and female pro nuclei

A

Single celled embryo, (zygote) undergos mitotic divisions, called cleavage divisions. first on generagtes 2 celled embryo (blastomeres) these then divide to 4, 8 ,16 daughter cells = can be offspring

Q

Hatching of the blastocyst

A

Governed by 3 forces

Growth and fluid accumulation within blastocyst

Production of enzymes by the trophoblastic cells (weaken zona pellucida)

Contractions of the blastocyst (causes intermittent pressure rupture zp)

Q

Development of Extra Embryonic membranes

A

Prettachement period is long
Repid embryonic growth mainly due to formation of extra embryonic membranes
Essential for embryo attachment to the uterus

Q

2 mammalian embryos

A

Long pre attachment period (several weeks - domestic animals)
Extensive extra-embryonic membranes form by folding process

Implantation soon after uterine entry (primates, rodents)
-Extra embryonic membranes form after implantation or attachment

17
Q

development of extra embryonic membranes Bovine

A

13-17 Day 14 embryonic growth

18
Q

development of extra embryonic membranes Pig

A

Day 11-12

19
Q

Fetal Membranes

A
Yolk sac
Amnion
Allantois
Allantochorion
Umbilical cord
20
Q

Yolk sac

A

Regresses in size

21
Q

Amnion

A

Encloses fetus and provides protection

22
Q

Allantois

A

Collects waste -urine

23
Q

Allantochorion

A

Fetal contribution to the placenta and provides surface for attachemnts

24
Q

Umbillical Cord

A

Amnion wrapped around yolk stalk
