Study Notes
Human Embryonic Development
- Luteal phase: Corpus luteum secretes hormones after follicle ruptures
- Cleavage: Series of mitotic divisions from zygote to blastocyst
- Implantation: Human zygote passes through morula and blastocyst stages and begins implantation in uterine mucosa
- Bilaminar germ disc: Formation simultaneous to implantation; embryoblast differentiates into epiblast and hypoblast
- Abnormal implantation: Describes abnormal implantation events
- Gastrulation: Establishes three germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm) from primitive streak
- Neurulation: Formation of neural tube from neural plate and differentiation of neural crest cells
- Ectoderm: Derivatives include gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, urinary bladder, and more
- Endoderm: Derivatives include central and peripheral nervous systems, skin, pituitary, mammary and sweat glands
- Mesoderm: External features include somites and pharyngeal arches
- Gametogenesis: Process by which male and female gametes fuse
- Fertilization: Fusion of male and female gametes to form zygote
