Study Notes

Chordate Embryology

  • Dealing with the topics of gamete formation (gametogenesis), fusion of gametes (fertilization), and embryo formation.

Gamete Formation

  • Gametes: ova or sperms.
  • Not versatile like totipotent cells.

Stem Cells

  • Types of stem cells:
    • Mesenchymal stem cells: found in bone marrow, fats, and other tissues; can differentiate into bone, fat, muscle, and cartilage cells.
    • Neural stem cells: can differentiate into neurons, glia, and other similar cells.
    • Hematopoietic stem cells (adult): found in blood and immune system; can be induced to become other cell types.

Embryology Importance

  • Studies of embryology can help understand and prevent birth defects.
