Question
Answer
in the embryonic phase how many wks are there?   first 3 wks: Blastocyst, Implantation, gastrulation formation of 3 germ layers  
🗑
Initiation of nervous system, basic body plan and organogenesis happens in what wks?   4 to 8  
🗑
Fetal phase   Wks 9 to 40  
🗑
All cells undergo specifiction and determination to achieve their ultimate differentiated phenotype except what two cells?   Germ and Stem  
🗑
Cells have already become committed to the point that removal of a portion of an embryo will not allow normal embronic development. *Conjoined Twins   Mosaic Development  
🗑
Transcription factors   control the expression of other genes  
🗑
Mutation of a gene encoding a transcription factor would cause what to happen?   Synpolydactyly (webbing and extra digits) // bone malformations of hands,wrist,feet, and ankles  
🗑
bad cell to cell signaling by cell surface receptor and a ligand can cause birth defects name some?   Achondroplasia, craniosynostoses, Polycyctic Kidney Disease  
🗑
Cell Migration   Programmed cell movement especial important in the central nervous system, which is developed from the neural tube  
🗑
Cell Migration abnormalities name 3.   Miller-Dieker syndrome, Hirshsprung disease, Waardenburg Syndrome  
🗑
what occurs during development of the immune system to elimnate lymphocyte lineages that react to self, preventing autoimmune disease?   Apoptosis - critical for tissue remodeling during morphogenesis (separation of digits example)  
🗑
What are 3 major categories of birth defects (dysmorphology)   Malformations, Deformations, Disruptions  
🗑
what results from intrinsic abnormalities in one or more genetic programs operating in development?   Malformations (extra fingers)  
🗑
Deformations (common in 2nd Trimenster)   Caused by extrinsic factors impinging physically on the fetus during development (ex: Arthrogryposes contractions of the joints of the extremities)  
🗑
Result from destruction of irreplaceable normal fetal tissue due to vascular insufficiency, trauma, or teratogens.   Disruptions (more difficult to treat)  
🗑
Give % : Complex inheritance ? // Single gene mutations ? // Chromosomal imbalance ?   Complex 50% // Single gene 20% // Chromosomal 25%  
🗑
What is a single causative agent results in abnormalities of more than one organ system in different parts of the embryo or in multiple structures that arise at different times during intrauterine life?   Pleiotrophy (ex: Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome)  
🗑
What would be 3 indications for prenatal testing by invasive procedures?   Advanced Maternal age, Previous child with de novo chromosomal aneuploidy, a parent with a structural chromosome abnormality, Family history of X-Linked disorder, Risk of neural tube defect in first degree relative  
🗑
What are the 4 invasive Test?   Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) // Amniocentese // Cordocentesis // Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis  
🗑
Amniocentesis typically performed when?   15 or 16th wk  
🗑
Biopsy of tissue from chorionic villi performed b/t what time frame?   10th and 12th weeks  
🗑
Combining results fo 1st and 2nd trimester testing to increase ability to detect autosomal trisomies (especially Trisomy21) is known as what testing?   Stepwise Sequential Testion  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
