Spermatogenic Cells

Type B spermatogonia divide by mitosis, producing primary spermatocytes.

Origin of Umbilical Arteries & Veins

These blood vessels originate from the allantois during embryonic development.

Primitive Streak Appearance

This structure first appears at the posterior end of the embryo.

Structure NOT in Week 2

The notochord, a crucial structure, develops later.

Study Notes

  • Type B spermatogonia undergo mitosis, leading to the production of primary spermatocytes.
  • Umbilical arteries and veins originate from the allantois.
  • The primitive streak initially appears in the caudal-dorsal region of the embryo.
  • The notochord does not develop during the second week of embryonic development.
  • Cells of the notochord secrete factors, including chordin and nerve growth factor, that induce the overlying ectoderm to form the neural plate.
  • The establishment of the neck region occurs latest among the developmental events of the human embryo listed.
  • Somatomotor neurons of the PNS are not derived from neural crest cells.
  • The most cranial migration of ingressing mesodermal cells originates from the cardiogenic mesoderm.
  • The exocoelomic membrane and cavity are modified to form the primary umbilical vesicle (yolk sac).
  • The epiblast is not an extra embryonic structure that is formed during the second week of embryonic development.
  • Extracellular vacuoles in the syncytiotrophoblastic layer form the lacunae, which fill with maternal blood. These supply oxygen and nutrients to the implanted embryo.
  • Implantation takes place during the secretory/progestational phase of the menstrual cycle.
  • Implantation occurs at the blastocyst stage of embryonic development.
  • The correct sequence of developmental events from earliest to latest is: both neuropores close, limbs and trunk start to show spontaneous movements, and the digits of the hands are separated.
  • The correct sequence of developmental events from latest to earliest : First the digits of the hands are separated second limbs and trunk start to show spontaneous movements Third, both neuropores close.
  • An oocyte first possesses a 1N (23) chromosome number at the secondary follicle stage.
  • Zona reaction is not observed in sperm cells during fertilization.
  • The presence of 2 pronuclei (PN) and 2 polar bodies (PB) is a morphological sign of normal fertilization in the ooplasm.
  • Oogenesis will not conclude if fertilization does not occur.
  • A primordial follicle contains a primary oocyte (2n) arrested in Prophase 1.
  • The presence of the first polar body indicates that an oocyte has completed the first meiotic division (meiosis 1).
  • Meiosis does not proceed during spermiogenesis, it happens during spermatogenesis.
  • Spermiogenesis refers to the morphologic differentiation of spermatid cells.
  • Failure to extrude the 2nd polar body may result in a zygote with 3N chromosome number.
  • Syncytiotrophoblasts produce the pregnancy hormone HCG.
  • Endometrium thickening is not a result of decidual reaction.
  • The primitive streak is first visible in the caudal – dorsal region of the embryo.
