Q

what happens in week 2 pre-embryonic phase

A

Implantation occurs in the uterine endometrial layer and placenta begins to develop (this may start by day 6 of 1st week)

Cells that later form the embryo form a bilaminar disc

Sacs, membranes and cord to nourish the human conceptus (baby) start to form

whats Teratology
Study of when things go wrong during development
26
what are Teratogens
environmental factors that cause abnormal development.
27
what is Congenital rubella syndrome caused by
contraction of german measles when pregnant

29
how many sperm penetrates the egg
one
30

uterine cavity
31
which parent does mitochondria and cell organelles come from?
mother
32
If a father had an effected mitrochondria disease and the mother was uneffected, how will the children turn out? What would happen if it was vise versa?
unaffected the children would be affected
33
What is a morula
a solid ball of cells divded from a zygote
34
how does a morula become a blaszstocyst?
enlarges and divides further
35
what are the outer cells surrounding the blastocyst?
trohpoblast
36
what are the 2 types of population forming a blastocyst
trophoblast and inner cell mass
37
what is the genetic info of the trophoblast?
same chromosomal make up as the baby/ inner cell mass
38
what does the inner cell mass produce?
the baby
39
what is the inner lingin of the uterus
endometrium
40
whats the element in the fertilised ovum in the fallopian tube that makes it move
it has cilia
41
what happens if the cilia gets destroyed?
ectopic pregnancy (implantation in the tube, couldnt move out the tube)
42
what do chorions penetrate?
endometrium
43
what forms the placenta?
chorion
44
what is the decidua
endometrium
45
what hormone is secreted by the chorion?
hCG
46
what does the inner cell mass flatten to form?
epiblast and hypoblast
47
what sits above the epiblast?
amniotic cavity
48
what sits below the hypoblast?
yolk sac
49
what surrounds the embryo?
amniotic cavity
50
what is the main source of nutrition for embryo
umbilical cord
51
other than umbillical cord what else is a source of nutrition for an embryo?
yolk sac
52
how long does it take for the respiratory system to grow to full length with the lobes?
8 weeks
53
describe the steps for the growth of the respiratory system
Tubular outgrowth from foregut This outgrowth will develop into trachea and lung buds Trachea will separate from oesophagus and lung buds will proliferate. Proliferating lung buds will invaginate laterally into the pleural cavities, so forming visceral & parietal pleura and the pleural cavity Meanwhile, a transverse septal “shelf” will begin to develop between thorax and abdomen, below the pleural cavities. . This shelf is composed of 4 components, which fuse to form the diaphragm
54
what does folding of the embryo give rise to?
primitive gut tube
55
what forms the foregut?
trachea and lungs
56
where does the gut tube form from?
endoderm
57
when is the development of the trachea and lungs?
4 weeks
58
where is the development of the trachea and lungs?
from ventral wall of foregut
59
where is the laryngotracheal groove
ventral part of the foregut
60
what does the diverticulum (endoderm) become invested with to form trachea and lung buds
mesoderm
61
where does the oesophagotracheal sputum develop?
between the oesophagus and trachea
62
what is a fistula?
an abnormal or surgically made passage between a tubular organ and the body surface, or between two hollow or tubular organs
63
what is atresia?
= a condition in which an orifice or passage in | the body is (usually abnormally) closed or absent.
64
what are common congenital abnormalities with the trachea and lung?
TOF (tracheoesophageal fistula) and astresia
65
what does the layers of visceral and parietal pleura form?
pleural cavity
66
what are the layers of visceral and parietal pleura formed from?
mesoderm
67
which layer does the lungs need as they develop
visceral pleura from the splanchnic mesoderm.
68
what does the thoracic wall become lined with? and where is this derived from?
parietal pleura, derived from somatic mesoderm.
69
whats the gap between parietal and visceral pleurae called? and what will this eventually become?
pleuroperitoneal canals | pleural cavaties
70
where does the pleuropericardial folds form around?
primitive heart and it seperates pleural cavities from pericardial cAVITIES
71
What develops into the visceral pleura?
the mesoderm which covers the outside of the lung
72
what becomes the parietal pleura?
the somatic mesoderm, covering the body wall from the inside
73
what are the stages of lung development
``` embryonic pseudo glandular canalicular saccular alveolar ```
74
what happens in the pseudoglandular stage?
Setup of all pulmonary structures except elements needed for gas exchange
75
what happens in the canalicular stage?
The terminal bronchioles give rise to tubes that make up respiratory part of the lung. Differentiation of epithelium into Type II pneumocytes which will synthesize the surfactant, and flat cells - Type I pneumocytes.
76
what happpens in the saccular stage
Formation of alveolar sacs. The alveolar sacs will be progressively divided into smaller subunits leading to the formation of alveoli.
77
what happens in the alveolar stage?
formation of the alveoli terminal sacs
78
what is surfactant composed of?
mixture of phospholipids and protiens
79
what is surfactant secreted by?
Type 2 pneumocytes
80
what does the septum transversum develop into
central tendon
81
what does Pleuroperitoneal membranes contribute to?
primitive diaphragm
82
what does Dorsal mesentery of oesophagus contribute to?
median portion & crura of diaphragm
83
what does Muscular ingrowth from lateral body walls contribute to?
peripheral parts of diaphragm
84
what are the four embryonic components that develops the diaphragm?
Septum transversum Pleuroperitoneal membranes Dorsal mesentery of oesophagus Muscular ingrowth from lateral body walls
85
where is the septum tfansversum initially located in week three?
opposite c3-c5 somites
86
what are three major defects for congenital abnormalities
Failure of the diaphragm to completely close during development Herniation of the abdominal contents into the chest Pulmonary hypoplasia
87
whats a hernia
Hernia is a general term used to describe a bulge or protrusion of an organ through the structure or muscle that usually contains it.
88
what are the three types of diaphragmatic herniae?
poaterolateral anterior central
89
what are the types of hiatal herniae
sliding hiatus hernia | paraesophageal hiatus hernia
