Module 7 PT 2

Pregnancy, growth, development

QuestionAnswer
Explain the function of the yolk sac Forms blood cells for the embryo during early development. Forms during 2nd week on underside of embryonic disc
Define gastrulation Movement of cells within the embryonic disc to form multiple layers. Formation of three germ layers occur. Transforms the single-layered blastula into a multi-layered structure called the gastrula.
What is the sequence of the developmental stages? 1.Zygote 2.Cleavage 3.Morula 4.Blastocyst 5.Gastrula
List the primary germ layers and describe what cells they are made of Endoderm (inner layer) Mesoderm (middle layer), Ectoderm (outer layer). Endoderm and Ectoderm are made of epithelial cells. Mesoderm is made of loose connective tissue cells
Define teratogen Factors or agents that cause malformations/birth defects by affecting embryo or fetus during period of rapid growth, development, or specialization
In the uterus, the fetus is surrounded by a fluid called ______. Amniotic fluid
Which structure suspends the embryo in the amniotic cavity? Umbilical cord
Spaces called ______ that surround the chorionic villi are formed by proteolytic enzymes released by the cells of the villi. lacunae
What blood vessels are found in the umbilical cord? 2 umbilical arteries, and 1 umbilical vein
What is the amniochorionic membrane? The membrane formed by the fusion of the chorion and amnion.
The connecting stalk gives rise to which structure? Umbilical cord
During which stage of development do the primary germ layers form? Gastrula
Which of the following gives rise to the internal organs? The primary germ layers
List the structures that arise from the ectoderm. central nervous system, hair, epidermis, nails, skin glands, some special sensory organs, linings of mouth and anal canal
List the structures that arise from the mesoderm. blood, blood vessels, muscle tissue, bone tissue, lymphatic vessels, internal reproductive organs, kidneys, epithelial linings body cavities, skeleton muscles
List the structures that arise from the endoderm. lining of the respiratory tract, epithelium and linings of the digestive tract, urethral lining, pancreas, gallbladder, urinary bladder
Define neonatal period
Define fetus/fetal stage The fetus is the stage of development from the ninth week of pregnancy until birth. All organs develop. Fetal stage begins at the end of week 8.
Explain how fetal hemoglobin differs from adult hemoglobin Fetal hemoglobin has the greater affinity for oxygen.
The ______ stage of development extends from fertilization to the 8th week of prenatal development. Embryonic stage of development
Which three statements apply to the embryonic stage of development? Extends from the third through the eighth week of development, the main internal organs develop, the embryo implants in the uterine wall
Which structure, developed during the fourth week of gestation, is the precursor to the central nervous system? Neural tube
Indicate three developmental events that occur during third month of pregnancy. Body lengthening accelerates, External reproductive structures are distinguishable, Head growth slows.
The fine, downy hair found on newborns is called ______. lanugo
Name the layer of sebum and dead epithelial cells that coats the fetal and newborn skin. Vernix caseosa
Which three of the following are associated with the fetal stage of development? woman feels movement, eye brows and eye lashes form, ossification begins
Define ductus venosus blood from the umbilical cord flows directly into the vena cava bypassing the liver via
Define foramen ovale An opening in the interatrial septum that blood flows through or opening between the right and left atria in fetal heart
Define ductus arteriosus Connecting vessel that shunts most of blood from pulmonary trunk directly into aorta. Provides a bypass from the pulmonary trunk to the aorta, allowing blood to bypass the pulmonary circuit.
Which vessel carries well-oxygenated blood? Umbilical vein
Blood from the right atrium of the fetal heart bypasses the lungs and flows directly into the left atrium through the ______. foramen ovale
