LESSON Flashcards
Study of prenatal development of an organism
Embryology
Branch of anatomy study structural changes from fertilization to maturity
Developmental anatomy
Give some importance of embryology
- Understanding of the growth and development of species before birth
- Understand the relationships between tissues and organs and relative changes in position during development
Who wrote the first treatise on embryology?
Aristotle
Who described the ovarian follicle?
Regnier de graaf
What are the fields of embryology?
- descriptive embryology
- Comparative embryology.
- Experimental embryology.
- Chemical embryology.
- Teratology.
The study of morphological changes that occur in cells, the progressive status of prenatal development
Descriptive embryology
Study of similarities and differences among various organism
Comparative embryology
The study of analysis that determined that influence prenatal development
Experimental embryology
Study which employee are you biochemical, biophysical, and biosiological techniques
Chemical embryology
Division of embryology in pathology dealing with abnormal development
Teratology
Process of growth and development of embryo from fertilization to birth
Prenatal development
Process of becoming pregnant from fertilization to implantation
Conception
The time between conception and Birth
Gestation
The time from fertilization to the earliest of organ development
Embryonic period
An organism in earliest stage of growth and differentiation
Embryo
The time between the embryonic period and parturition
Fetal period
This is the born young or offspring of an animal that develops from the embryo
Fetus
This is growth and development from birth to adult
Postnatal or postpartum development
This is the formation of body structures and organs that requires cell division and cell differentiation
Embryogenesis or argonogenesis
What are the two requirements in embryogenesis?
Cell division and cell differentiation
The sheet of cells which give rise to all tissues and organs of the body
Germ layer
What are the primary germ layers?
- ectoderm - outermost layer
- Mesoderm - middle layer
- Endoderm - innermost layer
This type of tissue is composed of cells that dress on the basal lamina and closely together at the lateral surface
Also may differentiate into mesenchyme
Epithelium
