AG Embryology - fertilization to week 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| abnormality of structure (and often function) that arises during embryological development | congenital disorder |
| the study of heredity and how traits are passed on through generations | genetics |
| How many chromosomes does a human have? | 46; 22 paired autosomes, 2 sex chromosomes |
| point at which two chromatids are joined | centromere |
| process whereby one cell divides resulting in two daughter cells genetically identical to parent cell | mitosis |
| process whereby one cell divides to produce male and female gametes | meiosis |
| organized profile of a person's chromosomes | karyotype |
| deviation from usual number of chromosomes | aneupoloidy (ex: Turner's syndrome (webbed neck, infertile) and Down's syndrome) |
| all of the genetic information contained within the set of chromosomes | genome |
| unit of genetic information that determines the particular characteristic of a person | gene |
| 4 types of gene mutation | deletion; duplication; inversion; translocation |
| proportion of individuals carrying a mutation that also expresses the phenotype | penetrance; complete (all) or incomplete (only some) |
| tools for screening for genetic disorders in practice | family history; medical history of client; perceptions |
| pre-embryonic period | fertilization to 2 weeks |
| embryonic period | week 3 to week 8 |
| fetal period | week 9 to birth |
| hard shell around the oocyte | zona pellucida |
| male and female pronuclei fuse creating the _________ | zygote |
| series of mitotic divisions, each cell is a blastomere | cleavage |
| day 3-4; 16-celled structure | morula |
| day 5; the zygote becomes a ________ | blastocyst |
| inner cells of the blastocyst are the ________;outer cells of the blastocyst are the _______ | embryoblast; trophoblast |
| when does the blastocyst begin to embed into the uterine wall? | day 6 - 7 |
| day 8; embryoblast differentiates into _____ and ____ | epiblast and hypoblast (the bilaminar disc) |
| day 14; hypoblast cells become columnar and form a thickened circular area called the ____ | prechordal plate (future site of the mouth) |
| period where there is greatest susceptibility to teratogens | beginning of embryonic period; week 3 - 5 |
| process of establishing the three germ layers to create trilaminar germ disk | gastrulation |
| epiblast cells invaginate at the ____________ creating three layers; ___, ____, ____ | primitive streak; ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm |
| two places remain bilaminar during gastrulation. What are they? | prechordal plate (mouth) and the cloacal plate (anus) |
| ectoderm derivatives | CNS, PNS, skin, pituitary gland |
| mesoderm derivatives | cartilage, muscles, bone |
| endoderm derivatives | lining of respiratory tract |
| serves as the basis for development of axial skeleton and future site of vertibrae | notochord |
| week 3; thickening of ectoderm giving rise to CNS | neural plate |
| begins with trilaminar disk ends with a corn on the cob structure | neurulation |
| abnormal neural crest development; autosomal dominant genetic disorder | neurocristopathies |
| what can reduce neural tube defects by 70% if mother takes it during pregnancy? | folic acid |
| somites are of ___dermal origin | mesodermal |
| somites forming ribs and vertibrae | sclerotome |
| somites forming muscles of body and limbs | dermomyotome |
| gives rise to cells that form most of the PNS and CNS | neural crest cells |
| prosencephalon becomes the .... | telencephalon (cerebral hemispheres)and diencephalon (thalamus and hypothalamus) |
| mesencephalon becomes the ..... | mesencephalon (midbrain) |
| rhombencephalon becomes the ..... | metencephalon (pons and cerebellum)and myelencephalon (medulla) |
| week 6; neural canal becomes the ... | ventricular system |
| process of forming connections, continued growth and development of neurons | synaptogenesis |
| each pharyngeal arch contains four things. What are they? | a blood vessel, a cartilaginous rod, a muscular component, a nerve |
