How long is the human gestation period from fertilization? What about from last menstrual cycle?
266 days from fertilization
280 days menstrual cycle
2 week different
what is the 3 stage of prenatal ?
pre-embryonic 0 to 2 week
embryonic 2 to 8 week
fetal periods 9 to birth
Obstetricians commonly split the gestation period into what?
trimerster
they divide the 9-month period of gestation into three trimesters.
what is the most critical stages of development
the first
trimester when embryonic and early fetal development is occurring
Where specifically does fertilization occur?
The ampula of the Fallopian tube
morula [ 12-16 cells ] form at which day ?
3 day after fertilazation
what happen at day 4 ?
Early blastocyst is formed (Morula hollows out, fills with fluid, and “hatches” from the
zona pellucida ZP)
what happen at day 7 ?
implanting blastocyst that consist of inner mass[ embryoblast ] and outer mass [ trophoblast]
and the The fertilization membrane (zona pellucida) has degenerated and disappeared in order for the trophoblast to implant into the uterus
during implantation the uterus is in which phase ?
secretory phase [ progesterone phase ]
Where exactly does the blastocyst implant?
On the posterior wall of the body of the uterus
what happen in day 8?
• The trophoblast at the embryonic pole differentiates into 2 layers:- Cytotrophoblast - Syncytiotrophoblast
•
cells of the inner cell mass (embryoblast) also differentiate into two layers: - Epiblast - Hypoblast
• At the same time, a small cavity appears in the epiblast called the amniotic cavity.
true or false
amniotic cavity apeers in hypoblast
false it appere in the epiblast
What happens at day 9?
Amniotic cavity expands
embryo is now a bilaminar disk (Epiblast and Hypoblast thicken)
Exocoloemic cavity (primary yolk sac) forms, and the Exocoelomic membrane, made from the Hypoblast, surrounds it (it is continuous with the Hypoblast)
What happens at days 11 and 12?
By the 11th- 12th day, the blastocyst is completely embedded in the endometrial stroma and uteroplacental circulation has been established.
- Extraembryonic mesoderm has been developed; soon large cavities formed in it then
become confluent to form extraembryonic coelom (chorionic cavity)………
the extraembryonic coelom [ chorionic cavity ] sorrounds?
the primary yolc sack and aminotic cavity
The somatic layer with cyto and syncytiotrophoblast form a membrane called ?
chorion
what is connecting stalk ?
the part where it does not cover by chrionic
This separates the extraembryonic mesoderm into 2 layers?
somatic layer (lining the cytotrophoblast from outside) and splamthic layer (or visceral layer) which spurrounds the primary yolk sac
etal blood vessels develop in the?
horionic villi which his sorrounded by intervillous space
^ the chorionic villi which remains form the placenta
what is the rule of 2?
A way to memorize in week 2 that
the trophoblast differentiates into 2 lyres [ cyto/syncytio - trophoblast ]
the embryoblast differentiates into 2 layers[ hypoblast / epiblast]
the extrareaByronic mesoderm splits into 2 layers [ somatic layer / splamthic layer]
there are 2 yolk sacs (prim and sec)
2 new cavities form[ aminotic and chronic]
Becoming trilaminar and establishing body axes happen in which week ?
third week
What is the first major event of week 3- and arguably the MOST important part of human development?
Gastrulation- meaning the formation of the gut
Formation of the 3 germ layers (Endo, meso, ecto)
Provides changes in the fate of the germ layers (differentiation) and start organogenesis
Establishing body axis (cranial- caudal left-right, etc)
Formation of x defined for the first time the major body axes.
What is x, and what body axes are they?
The primitive streak Cranial caudal (head-tail) Dorsal ventral (back belly) Medial lateral (left right)
what is the longitudinal midline structure in the epiblast ear the caudal end of the bilaminar disk?
primative streak
