bio- embryology from coursesaver notes
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Cleavage | results in progressively smaller cells (inc ratio of nuclear-to-cytoplasm & surface-to-volume ratio of each cell which improves gas exchange) |
As cell division continues solid ball of cells called ____forms | morula |
Blastulation | occurs when morula develops cavity called blastocoel |
Blastula | becomes this by the 4th day - hollow sphere of cells |
6th day | blastocyst (AKA blastula) begins implantation into the uteral endometrium |
little increase in size occurs during | gastrulation |
Gastrulation | single cell layer of blastula transforms into three-layered gastrula |
Ectoderm | Nervous system, integument (epidermis & hair / epithelium of nose, mouth, anal canal), lens of eye, retina, teeth, neural tube |
Mesoderm | musculoskeletal, circulatory system, excretory system, gonads, connective tissue, portions of digestive & respiratory, notochord |
Endoderm | epithelial lining of digestive & respiratory, parts of liver, pancreas, thyroid, and bladder lining |
induction | process in an embryo in which one tissue causes another to differentiate |
Eggs - Embryonic Membrane Chorion | (moist membrane =>** gas exchange) |
Allantois | (sac-like involved in respiration and excretion/ blood vessels for transport) |
Amnion | (amniotic fluid) - cushions and supports |
chorionic gonadotropin hormone | secreted by the chorion (when it becomes part of the placenta) and helps maintain the Corpus Luteum (which secretes progesterone to maintain uterine lining) |
Placental Internal Development | growing fetus receives oxygen directly from mother through specialized circulatory system (supplies O2 + nutrients / removes CO2 and wastes) |
Placenta and umbilical cord | outgrowths of the four extra-embryonic membranes – amnion, chorion, allantois, yolk sac |
Labor | cervix thins out and dilates, amniotic sac ruptures, rapid contractions followed by birth, then uterus expels umbilical cord and placenta |
