APbioLHSCh.47:Embryonic Development
| stage/structure | description |
|---|---|
| blastomeres | small cells of zygote |
| animal pole | may be anterior (head) of embryo:low conc. of yolk |
| blastocoel | fluid filled cavity w/in morula(ball of cells) |
| gastrula | 3 layered embryo (triploblastic) |
| blastula | cell cleavage makes this hollow ball stage |
| embryonic germ layers | ecto-, endo-, & mesoderm |
| blastopore | open end of archenteron (anus of deuterostomes, mouth of protostomes) |
| dorsal lip of blastopore | where cells involute into blastocoel |
| notochord | dorsal mesoderm condensed abv archenteron w/neural tube |
| amniotes | birds, reptiles& mammals w/embryo is surrounded by fluid |
| primitive streak | marks bird's anterior-posterior axis |
| extraembryonic membranes | 4 membranes supporting egg develpmnt:yolk sac, amnion, chorion & allantois |
| trophoblast | forms placenta |
| blastocyst | human embryo of >100 cells |
| convergent extension | cell crawling elongates sheet of cells |
