Human Development- Exam 1 Flashcards
What are the 3 main stages of human development and when do they occur?
Proliferation period: 0-3 weeks
Embryonic period: 3-8 weeks
Fetal development period: 9 weeks- term
Fertilization of the ovum yields:
zygote
The zygote has a full compliment of genetic material rendering it:
diploid
The zygote undergoes mitotic division forming the:
blastomere
Greater than 32 blastomeres =
morula
At what cell stage does the morula develop an internal blastocystic cavity?
64 cell stage
When the morula develops an internal blastocystic cavity, it is now referred to as:
blastocyst
any mass that is lined with any type of cell (typically an epithelium), hollow inside, and sometimes fluid filled:
cyst
The blastocyst travels down the uterus and:
implants itself into the uterine wall
Once the blastocyst into the uterine wall, it will create arms that anchor it in place called:
syncytiotrophoblast
The blastocyst develops an inner cell mass at 6-7 days and is referred to as:
an embryoblast
Implantation of the embryoblast into the uterine wall begins at day _____ and is complete at day ____.
day 4; day 10
After the blastocyst implants into the uterine wall it becomes:
enveloped into the uterine wall
The inner cell mass of the embryoblast transitions into the:
bilaminar embryonic disc
At the stage in which the embryoblast envelopes into the uterine wall and becomes the bilaminar disc, it is now able to receive:
blood supply, nutrients, and protection
The outer cell mass of the bilaminar embryonic disc becomes the ___ & ____ layers.
cytotrophoblast & syntrophoblast
cytotrophoblast & syntrophoblast layers are precursors to the:
Placenta
What two layers make up the bilaminar embryonic disc?
Epiblast layer & Hypoblast layer
The epiblast layer of the bilaminar disc is comprised of:
ectoderm and mesoderm
The hypoblast layer of the bilaminar disc is comprised of:
endoderm
The development of a large cavity that forms at the top just under the hypoblast is called the:
yolk sac
The development of a secondary cavity above the epiblast forms the:
amniotic cavity
List the structures associated with the bilaminar embryonic disc: (6)
- epiblast layer
- hypoblast layer
- amniotic cavity
- blastocyst cavity
- syntrophoblasts
- cytotrophoblasts
Enlargment of the amniotic cavity and migration of cells out of the hypoblast form:
Heuser’s membrane
