  • Back
fertilization occurs in the....
fallopian tube
once fertilized, the single-celled thing moves to the ___ for implantation
uterus
while moving to uterus, the single-celled thing goes through ____ which is rapid mitotic cell division
cleavage
1st cleavage creates an ____
embryo
zygote is unicellular
know
several rounds of mitosis occur but the ___ of the cell does NOT increase
size
-divisions become smaller but not larger overall
cells increase in two ratios:
1. nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio
2. surface area to volume ratio
2 types of cleavage
indeterminate
determinate
indeterminate =
cells that can develop into complete organisms
-unmarked stem cells
determinate =
fate of cell is pre-determined
1st 2nd and 3rd cleavages of cell occur at...
32, 60, 72 hrs
after 8 cells (4 divisions)..mass becomes a morula
solid mass
blastulation occurs after morula;
blastulas =
hollow, fluid-filled inner cavity
= blastocoel
-greatest nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio!
mammalian blastula is known as a blastocyst and consists of two cell groups
1. trophoblast
2. inner cell mass
trophoblast cells surround the blastocoel and give rise to the chorion
know
inner cell mass protrudes into the blastocoel and gives rise to the organism itself
know
blastocyst must implant on the uterine wall for development to continue
know
during blastulation, the blastocyst implants in the endometrium
know
progesterone promotes the proliferation on the mucosal layer to help the embryo attach
know
embryonic cells secrete enzymes that strategically burrow into the endometrial lining to allow for implantation
know
-this is a key step since it form a connection to maternal circulation for nutrient and gas exchange
placenta is responsible for...
nutrient and gas exchange with the endometrium
gastrulation: formation of 3 distinct layers
endoderm
mesoderm
ectoderm
gastrulation begins with a small invagination in the blastula
know
cells move toward invagination, eliminating the blastocoel
know
endoderm forms the inside layer of the invagination and the site of invagination
know
ectoderm is the outer layer of the cell
pg 104
archenteron is the large invagination site forming (the mouth of a pacman for instance)
know
the archenteron later forms....
the gut
blastopore = the opening of the archenteron
know
deuterosomes
blastopore develops into the anus
protosomes
the blastopore develops into the mouth
mesoderm is between the ectoderm and the endoderm
know
ectoderm develops into....
HENNEL
epidermis
hair
nails
epithelium of nose/mouth/anus
lens of eye
nervous system
mesoderm forms...

DR GEMC
musculskeletal system
circulatory system
excretory system
gonads
muscular and connective coats of digestive/respiratory system
endoderm form...
E(DR) LLPTB T(UR)
Epithelial lining of digestive and respiratory tract
-lungs
liver
pancreas
thyroid
bladder
urinary/reprod. tracts
adrenal cortex is part of the mesoderm
know
adrenal medulla is part of the ectooderm
know
all somatic cells in organism contain same DNA
know
selective transcription is concept of induction
induction = ability of certain group to influence the fate of other nearby cells
induction triggered by chemical substances called inducers that are passed from the organizing cells to the responsive cells
the chemicals are responsible for guidance of neuronal axons
neurulation
development of the nervous system
nervous system is derived from....
ectoderm
notochord = rod of mesodermal cells from along the long axis of organism
these cells induce ectodermal cells to slide inward to form neural folds which surround a neural groove
these neural folds grow toward one another until they fuse into a neural tube that gives rise to the NS
know
at tip of neural folds = neural crest cells...
these cells migrate outward to form the peripheral nervous system
gas exchange with baby occurs through structures...
placenta
umbilical cord
placenta is primarily formed from the chorion
chorion develops from trophoblast cells
umbilical cord attaches to chorion and provides nutrient exchange with baby
know
what are the other 3 layers/membranes?
allantois
amnion
yolk sac
allantois is surorunded by the amnion
know
amnion = thin tough membrane filled with amniotic fluid
the fluid acts like a shock absorber
yolk sac is the site of blood vessel development
know
chorion is outermost layer
provides additional protection...umbilical cord attached to this
so the order from inside to most exterior is...
allantois, amnion, yolk sac, chorion
know
chorionic villi grow into the placenta to aid with gas exchange
know
placenta is the site of gas, nutrient and waster exchange occurs
know
can not mix fetal and maternal blood due to chance of different blood types...
know
wastes, gases etc exchanged through....what process
diffusion
transfer of AA, water, glucose, and inorganic salts
in order for O2 to diffuse into fetus from the mother, the mother must have higher P(oxygen) in comparison to the fetal blood
know
the fetal blood is equipped with fetal hemoglobin (Hb-F)
has an increased affinity for O2 in comparison to the maternal blood
placental barrier acts as an immune protection
know
many bacteria/particles are too large to diffuse through placenta
know
however, viruses, alcohol and drugs/toxins can pass through...also hormones can pass through(also into mother's blood)
know
placenta = endocrine organ since it produces progesterone
know
what are the two most important organs for a fetus which rely on the placenta to exchange materials?
lungs and liver
in adults, blood is sent from heart to lungs to become oxygenated...
durr
this concept doesnt work with fetuses since dont breathe air...
lungs are not yet able to oxygenate circulating blood.
-suspension in amniotic fluid
therefore, oxygen must come from maternal circulation and diffuse through placental vessels
know
so how does baby keep blood away from lungs?
shunts reroute blood within heart
1st shunt of blood with lungs
foreman ovale; connects right and left atria; bypasses lungs completely
higher pressure in the right atrium forces blood into the left atrium, overlooking the right ventricle
know
foreman ovale closes after birth
know
2nd shunt from lungs
ductus arteriosus: shunts leftover blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta
-this also bypasses lungs

pressure on right side is greater than left!
liver and blood circulation
liver = underdeveloped

ductus venosus: reroutes blood from placenta(via umbilical cord) to the inferior vena cava

-skips body circulation to organs/liver
baby's liver is capable of being an O2 hog, so it is skipped over intentionally
know
umbilical arteries take blood....
away from the fetus...to the mother
umbilical veins take blood...
toward the fetus...away from mother
the umbilical vein carries ___ type of blood while the umbilical artery carries ___ type of blood
oxygenated
deoxygenated
first trimester involves...
major organ development
-eyes, gonads, limbs, liver form
-skeleton formation
-brain fairly developed
-embryo = fetus
2nd trimester
large amt of growth
-toes/fingers elongate
third trimester
rapid growth
brain development
antibodies develop for fetus
birth
contractions of uterine smooth muscle
-prostaglandins and oxytocin
birth consists of three phases
1. cervix thins out and amniotic sac ruptures = water broken
2. strong uterine contractions result in birth of fetus
3. placenta/umbilical cord expelled
know
immediately after birth, the baby produces adult hemoglobin, pulmonary resistance decreases, and pressure in left atrium increases...
however...pressure in inferior vena cava and right atrium does not increase
placenta produces hcg, progesterone, and estrogen...NOT LH...?
know
