embryology questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is embryology | study of development and formation of an embryo |
| what are stem cells | are the bodies raw material, they are the cells from which all cells are derived |
| what are types stem cells | embryonic stem cells somatic stem cells |
| where are somatic stem cells found | in the bone marrow ,they are not pluripotent |
| what are the five categories of stem cells | totipotent(zygote and blastomeres) pluripotent(inner cell mass) multipotent(HSCs,blood stem cells) olygopotent (vascular stem cells) unipotent(liver cells) |
| what are the periods of the prenatal development | embryonic period(fertilization to end of the 8 week) fetal period(afer 9 week) |
| when does pregnancy start? | at the moment of implantation |
| what is the 8 cell called | morula |
| what is the 16 stage called | bastocyst |
| what are the three stages of the blastocyst | early stage late stage implantation |
| what is capacitation? | it's a series of physiological changes that cause the destabilization of the cell membrane |
| what is the consequence of the capacitation? | capacitation causes the exposure of molecules that can bind to the zona pellucida |
| when does the implantation takes place? | about the 10 day after fertilization |
| what is the scientific name of human division | holoblastic cleavage |
| what is another term of blastocyst | blastula |
| which type of stem cells we have from morula to blastocyst | they are totipotent stem cells |
| what is blastocoel | a fluid-filled cavity characteristic of animal embryos at the blastula stage |
| what happens to the trophoblast before gastrulation | it divides into syncytiotrophoblast(ST) and cytotrophoblasts(CT) |
| what are the main functions of the uterus | receiving the embryo sheltering the fetus delivering the newborn at term |
| Stages of embryo implantation | hatching apposition adhesion/attachememnt invasion/penetration |
| what happens in apposition | pinopods(finger like projection of the uterus),interact with the adhesion molecules |
| which types of cytokines are involved in invasion | pro inflammatory cytokines |
| hormones released by corpus luteum | progesterone |
| what is the hormone detected in pregnancy | HCG |
| what happens to the CT | it differentiates into extravillous trophoblast |
| what happens to the blood supply of the mother during pregnancy | it increases (about 2L more) |
| give one condition related to the shortage of blood supply | intrauterine growth restriction |
| who secretes the PIF | PIF is secreted by the embryo for the embryo |
| characteristics of syncytiotrophoblasts | non proliferative in direct contact with maternal blood |
| differentiation of inner cell mass | it differentiates into epiblast and hypoblast |
| bilaminar disc | it will split the cavity into two halves |
