Embryo col1 Flashcards
(148 cards)
Germ cells
-gonocytes (1st primordial germ cells)
-become visible on 24th day after fertilization in endoderm of yolk sac
-large
-migrate through gut endoderm and at level of Th10 gonads develop
Primordial germ cell for females is called
Oogonia
-they undergo oogenesis
differences between oogenesis and spermatogenesis
mitotic pattern differs:
-oogonia increases from 2 million from 2nd embryonic month to 7 million in 5th embryonic month
-> oogonia then decreases to 1-2 million at the moment of birth
-> mitosis stops after birth of girl
-spermatogonia mitosis starts during embryogenesis but continues throughout life, diminishes around 65-70 years of age
Teratomas
-in case of migration disorder, gonocytes stop on their way and migrate into mediastinum or oral region -> produce teratomas
-teratomas can show teeth, skin, hairs…
spermihistogenesis
is the last stage of stermatogenesis
Embryogenesis
process by which fertilized egg develops into an embryo
ontogenesis
entire life cycle of an organism from fertilization to maturity
stages are:
1.prenatal development
1.1. zygote stage: fertilization and cell division
1.2.blastula stage: formation of hollow ball of cells
1.3. gastrulation: differentiation into 3 germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm)
1.4.organogenesis: development of organs and systems
2.postnatal develop,emt
2.1 neonatal stage: adaption outside woumb
2.2 childhood + adolescence
2.3 adulthood + aging
morphogenesis
biological processes that control the shape and structure of tissues, organs, organisms
teratogens
substances that cause congenital abnormalities
organogenesis
formation of organs during embryonic development
neurulation
formation of neural tube
classification of etiological factors
genetic (chromosomal abnormalities)
structural abnormalities (deletion, duplications)
single gene mutations (marfan syndrome)
etc.
environmental factors (chemicals, physical teratogens, alcohol
multifactorial inheritance
ie. spina bifida (folic acid deficiency)
cleft lip and palate
Timing of teratogen exposure ( 3 periods)
- preimplantation period (0-2 weeks post fertilization)
- embyronic period (3-8 weeks post fertilization
- fetal period 9 weeks to birth
what maturates spermatozoa
testosterone
What is decidua?
The functional layer of endometrium
length of spermatogenesis in days
64-72 days
antigenes on spermatozoa are located in?
in the head of spermatozoa
oligospermia
-low sperm count
what does bilaminar embyro consist of?
2 cell layers: hypoblast and epiblast
oocyte
-largest cell in the female body
-is surrounded by zona pellucida (20-50 micrometers)
-has cortical granuli (bigger granules that releases content during fertilization to protect againts polyspermia)
-also has lecitine (protein)
What type of cells are in hypoblast?
cuboidal cells
preconditions of fertilization
- enough number of reproductive cells (in 1 ml of sperm, 100-400 million spermatozoa
- alive reproductive cells (sperm lives up to a week)
- motility of spermatozoa
- presence of mucus (20-200ml)
stages of fertilization
1.capacitation: head of spermatozoa releases antigenes
2.penetration of corona radiata
3.penetration of zona pellucida
4.cytoplasma fusion between sperm head and ovum
5.cortical reaction (blocks polyspermy)
6.development of division spindle and zygote
