•Morula Stage


•Blastocyst Stage


• 3 Week Embryo/Neurola


• One month embryo

Embryological Events/processes

• Penetration


• Ferttilization


• Cleavage


• Differentiation


• Implantation


• Gastrulation


• Organogenesis

Penetration/fertilization occurs in fallopian tube __ - ____ hours after ovulation

12-24

Penetration of sperm stimulates...

•Ca2+ release (prevents 2nd penetration)


•Secondary oocyte completes meiosis II to become ovum

Fertilized ovum called...

Zygote Stage

The zygote (after fertilization) undergoes the cleavage process to become a.....

Morula

Day 5...

Fluid filled cavity develops inside morula call Blastocyst

Differentiation occurs developing 2 specialized structures...

1) Trophoblast: becomes Chorion and secretes hCG to maintain corpus liteum



2) Inner cell mass = becomes embryo

Event of implantation in endometrium occurs on...

Day 6

Day 15 inner cell mass differentiates and migrates into...

3 primary germ layers called gastrulation

The 3 primary germ layers

1. Ectoderm = Develops into epidermis and nervous system


2. Mesoderm = develop into muscle/bone/connective tissue/peritoneum


3. Endoderm = develops into lining of respiratory, GI tract, other organs

Process of neurulation

Differentiation of ectoderm into brain and spinal cord

Aminion

Protective layer that produces amniotic fluid (shock absorber)

Chorionic villi

= Fetal part of placenta


• secretes proteins that block maternal antibody production


•secretes hCG


Yolk sac

Source of nutrients and blood cells in first few weeks

Chorionic villi containing blood vessels grow into...

Endometrium

Umbilical cord contains...

•2 arteries (deoxygenated blood/waste away from fetus)


• 1 vein (carries O2 ND nutrients to fetus)

1 month embryo is when? Occurs between?

Occurs between week 4 to 8


• Process in which body organs and system develop

By end of 8 weeks...

•All body systems are developing


•Limbs Visible


•Eyes and ears (pinna) present


•External genitalia differentiating

hCG secreted/stimulates/ detected/ peaks

•Secreted by chorion


•Stimulates corpus luteum to continue production of progesterone & estrogen


•Detected 7 days into fertilization


•Peaks at 8 weeks

Relaxin

•Increases flexibility of joints


•Dilates cervix during labor

Estrogen/progesterone secreted by...

Corpus luteum (early)


Placenta (3rd month)

Actions of estrogen/progesterone

•Maintain endometrium (pro)


•Prepare mammary glands (est)


•Keeps cervix closed (pro)

All somatic cells contain...

23 chromosome pairs

1 chromosome =

1 DNA + Proteins

Autosome =

Determine body traits

Alternative forms of genes are called...

Alleles
