Chapter 3 Terms Flashcards
(67 cards)
The name given to the organism for approximately the first two months after fertilization
embryo
By the end of the second month the embryo is now called a
fetus
the prenatal period of development
gestation
What happens during the first trimester
the embryo develops cell layers that are precursors to organ systems.
What happens during the second trimester
growth, length, and mass gain and the appearance of functional organ system
What happens during the third trimester
all organs prepare or are functional
The specialization of cells in the developing fetus and migration of those cells to produce form and function
morphogenesis
occurs when the spermatozoon and ovum join to produce a zygote
fertilization
when sperm increase mobility
capacitation
Layers of the follicular cells still encase the ovulated oocyte and now constitute a layer called
corona radiata
sexual reproduction involving the fusion of two different gametes to form a zygote.
amphimixis.
division that results in 2 cells
cleavage
each cell after division is called a
blastomere
an organized blastomere into a solid ball of identical cells
morula
Around day 6 the morula has entered the uterus and changes into a hollow ball ofr cells
blastocyst
the internal cavity in a blastocyst
blastocoele
cells on the outside of the blastocyst that burrow into the uterine lining and form the placenta
trophoblast
cells clustered in the blastocoele
inner cell mass
begins on day 7 or 8 when the blastocyst touches the spongy uterine lining.
implantation
When the cell membrane of the trophoblast cell disolves and the cells mass together as as cytoplasmic layer of multiple nuclei called
syncytial trophoblast
space created in the endometrium from eroding villi
lacunae
on the 9th or 10th dat the icm moves to the next layer of the cellular trophoblast this forms what cavity
amniotic cavity
the inner cell mass is organized into a
blastodisc
the 2 layers of the blastodisc
the superficial epiblast and the deep blastocoele facing hypoblast
