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.
