Q

Morula

A

Solid mass of cells, which is developed ~3 days after fertilization. Cells become progressively smaller with each division, but their number as increased. This stage is reached by the time the cell mass is about to enter the uterus from the Fallopian tubes.

Week 6
Ectoderm has grown and formed dental lamina
26
Week 8
Tooth buds for primary teeth have formed. Mandible has a shape (relatively small)
27
When is the embryonic period complete?
End of the 2nd month
28
General summary of development of 3rd fetal month
Eyes almost fully developed , nose develops bridge and external ears appear . Morphodifferentiation of limbs complete and digits/nails develop. Ossification continues Heart is now large enough, heartbeatcsn be detect :) Other systems continue to develop
29
Start of 3rd month
Palatial processes of maxilla assume horizontal position Horizontal palatal processes grow messily and fuse at midline Anteriorly, palatal shelves unite with medial and nasal process in area of incisive foramen Critical period for movement and complete closure of 3 parts of palate between 8th and 12th week.
30
At 10 week (mid 3rd month)
Primary teeth in CAP stage and successional dental lamina forming
31
End of 3rd month
Morphodifferentiation of oral nasal region complete Failure of lateral palatine processes to fuse with each other or mesial nasal process results in cleft palate Developing teeth in BELL stage
32
Which month are developing teeth in the bell stage ?
End of 3rd month
33
4th month
Recognizable face Hair appears ossification of many bones and joint formation Body systems continue to develop
34
5th month
Body begin to catch up with head growth Hair (lanugo) covers body Body systems almost completely differentiated and rapid growth occurs
35
6th month
Start of enamel as dentin formation. Tooth sheath has been formed and differentiation associated with root has begun. Eyelids/eyelashes form Rapid growth of body systems
36
7th month
System developed sufficiently to ensure survival ("survival" stage) Nervous and respiratory system are least developed. (Must continue)
37
8th month
Development of tooth crown almost complete. Formation of root dentin and cementum Subcutaneous fat begins to deposit. Tested descend into scrotum of male fetus Ossification of skull completed with exception of soft spots (fontanels) so baby can pass through birth canal
38
9th month
Subcutaneous fat continues to deposit and lanugo (hair) sheds

42
Menstrual cycle
Oocyte matures, is ovulated, enters uterine tube, oocyte not fertilized = menstruation - flow of blood from uterus
43
What are the phases of menstrual cycle? (5)
Menstrual, proliferative, luteal, ischemic
44
What could congenital malformations (birth defects) due to?
Genetic factors: abnormal development of one or more structures, hereditary etiology Teratogens, environment agents and factors: crossing from mother by way of placenta (viral infections, alcohol, cocaine, etc.)
45
First 2 weeks of pregnancy is not susceptible of teratogens
Either embryo dies or effect are not permanent
46
How long does the fertilization process take?
24 hrs approx.
47
What are autosomes?
Chromosomes that are not sex related
48
What are heterosomes?
Sex chromosomes (XX or XY)
49
Where does ectopic pregnancy usually occur?
In the Fallopian tubes
50
Implantation
3 days after fertilization, morula enters uterus. 4-5 days after, trophoblast attaches to endometrial epithelium. By end of first week, a blastocyst is embedded in rich endometrium
51
Epiblast
High columnar cells suspended between amniotic cavity and yolk sac
52
Hypoblast
Small cuboidal cells
53
Embryonic period
End of 2nd week to end of 8th week Includes physiological processes: Induction- action of sone cells on another Proliferation - controlled levels of cellular growth Differentiation - identical cells become distinct in structure and function Morphogenetic - development of specific tissue structure and embryonic cell migration Maturation - attainment of adult function Apoptosis - programmed cell death
54
FSH
Follicle stimulating H
55
LH
Leutinizing H
56
Corpus leuteum
Glandular structure innovation follicle->secretes progesterone and estrogen -> preparing endometrium for implantation
57
If fertilization occurs....
Corpus leuteum enlarges and produces hormones for 20 weeks to maintain pregnancy
58
Placebo
By week 20, secretes estrogen and progesterone to maintain pregnancy
59
Fimbria
Approximate ovary sweeping oocyte
60
Cilia and peristalsis
Moves oocyte to ampulla
61
Meiosis
Reduces the number of chromosomes. Process begins in germ cells and meiosis ends during fertilization. Produced haploid cells with 23 chromosomes. Joining of parental and maternal chromosomes form a diploid cell with 46 chromosomes -> forming a zygote that will keep going to form a "new individual"
