|
2 types of cleavage
|
indeterminate
determinate |
|
indeterminate =

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
|

|
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
