Question
Answer
Cleavage   results in progressively smaller cells (inc ratio of nuclear-to-cytoplasm & surface-to-volume ratio of each cell which improves gas exchange)  
🗑
As cell division continues solid ball of cells called ____forms   morula  
🗑
Blastulation   occurs when morula develops cavity called blastocoel  
🗑
Blastula   becomes this by the 4th day - hollow sphere of cells  
🗑
6th day   blastocyst (AKA blastula) begins implantation into the uteral endometrium  
🗑
little increase in size occurs during   gastrulation  
🗑
Gastrulation   single cell layer of blastula transforms into three-layered gastrula  
🗑
Ectoderm   Nervous system, integument (epidermis & hair / epithelium of nose, mouth, anal canal), lens of eye, retina, teeth, neural tube  
🗑
Mesoderm   musculoskeletal, circulatory system, excretory system, gonads, connective tissue, portions of digestive & respiratory, notochord  
🗑
Endoderm   epithelial lining of digestive & respiratory, parts of liver, pancreas, thyroid, and bladder lining  
🗑
induction   process in an embryo in which one tissue causes another to differentiate  
🗑
Eggs - Embryonic Membrane Chorion   (moist membrane =>** gas exchange)  
🗑
Allantois   (sac-like involved in respiration and excretion/ blood vessels for transport)  
🗑
Amnion   (amniotic fluid) - cushions and supports  
🗑
chorionic gonadotropin hormone   secreted by the chorion (when it becomes part of the placenta) and helps maintain the Corpus Luteum (which secretes progesterone to maintain uterine lining)  
🗑
Placental Internal Development   growing fetus receives oxygen directly from mother through specialized circulatory system (supplies O2 + nutrients / removes CO2 and wastes)  
🗑
Placenta and umbilical cord   outgrowths of the four extra-embryonic membranes – amnion, chorion, allantois, yolk sac  
🗑
Labor   cervix thins out and dilates, amniotic sac ruptures, rapid contractions followed by birth, then uterus expels umbilical cord and placenta  
🗑
