Q

blastula

A

hollow sphere, consists of hundreds of thousands of blastomeres, depending on the species
-blastocyst is name for blastula in mammals
-inner cell mass is the body of the embryo and embryonic membranes around the embryo
-each cell (blastomere) contains some of the original cytoplasmic contents of the zygote (cytosol and organelles including mitochondria
-outer layer of the blastula is called trophoblast and will form the placenta in placental mammals

Q

neural crest cells

A

ectodermal cells that enter embryo as neural tube forms
-migrate to many parts of body and become
-spinal/cranial ganglia, Schwann cells, adrenal medulla, skin pigment cells, lower jaw bone and cartilage

A

ectodermal cells that form thick patches over parts of head/anterior body (sensory nerves/epithelium)
-sensory nerves in head
-sensory receptors (otic, olfactory, lateral line, lens of eye)

25
differentiation of epithelia
simple (one cell thick) or stratified -squamous (flat cells) or cuboidal or columnar -membranes (epithelia alone, type 1) or glands (mostly exocytotic cells, type 2)
26
basement membrane
underneath epithelia, part of extracellular matrix
27
lumen
specific portion of the epithelia, block of cell layer
28
exocytosis
secreting something
29
endocytosis
bringing something in
30
exocrine gland
ducts that carry away product
31
endocrine gland
product (hormones) released directly into circulatory system where it's carried away
32
connective tissue
cell type + extracellular matrix -matrix has ground substance (hard, soft, liquid) and a fiber (usually collagen)
33
mesenchyme
embryonic only and source of all other connective tissue -loose collection of cells
34
adipose
no matrix, only fat cells, fat storage
35
areolar
holds other tissues together (fibroblasts + collagen + elastin) -least specialized type of connective tissue -fits with general rule of connective tissue -superficial fascia is example of areolar (holds skin down to muscle)
36
fibrous
most common general type -fits general rule: fibroblasts, and matrix with fibers in a gel-like ground substance
37
hyaline cartilage
glassy appearance -form model of adult skeleton in embryo before ossification -found on end of long bones, tips of ribs, tracheal rings, in skull
38
elastic
see flexible places like ear, tip of nose, epiglottis
39
fibrocartilage
abundant collagen fibers -especially in places with a lot of tensile forces such as intervertebral discs in knee, where femur joins pelvis
40
chondrocytes
cartilage cell type, trapped in a lacunae space
41
chondroitin sulfate
ground substance for cartilage matrix (gel-like)
42
avascular connective tissue
no direct blood supply, blood vessels and nerves end at perichondrium and respiratory gases and nutrients get to chondrocytes by simple diffusion
43
bone
made of cylinders of matrix and cells, called osteons or haversian systems
44
tree-ring like lamellae
made of layers of bone matrix and cells
45
osteocytes
maintain old bone
46
osteoblasts
make new matrix
47
osteoclasts
degrade matrix
48
periosteum
outermost sheath of connective tissue
49
classification of bone
compact (densely packed osteons) or spongy -endochondral or intramembranous bone (form differently during development -long or flat
50
diaphysis
cartilage converted to bone, first along length of shaft -become hollow (medullary cavity) as blood vessel center -primary ossification
51
metaphysis
primary and secondary ossification centers meet here
52
epiphysis
secondary ossification occurs at ends of bone
53
long bones
use endochondral growth -cartilage model, appears from mesenchyme -diaphysis to epiphysis to metaphysis
54
membrane bones
use intramembranous growth -flat layers of mesenchyme secrete bone matrix (no cartilage intermediate)
55
dermal bones
mesenchyme was part of skin dermis (part of skull and pectoral girdle)
56
sesamoid bones
bone formed within a tendon (knee-cap/patella and wrist/pisiform bone)
57
synovial joint
moveable -joint capsule -synovial fluid -hyaline cartilage -ligaments
58
synarthrosis joint
immovable -known as sutures or symphyses
59
joint
where two separate elements of bone or cartilage meet -inside walls lined with fibrocartilage, fibrous connective tissue, enclosing the joint cavity, that secretes lubricating fluid= synovial fluid
60
joint capsule
synovial capsule
61
synovial joint
diarthrosis joint
62
hyaline cartilage
cape the ends of long bones
63
ligaments
fibrous connective tissue that joins bones together at joints
64
synarthrosis joint
no joint capsule, no lubricating fluid, no capsule membrane
65
sutures
connected by fibrous connective tissue (skull)
66
symphyses
connection of cartilage (pelvis)
