Study Notes
Introduction to Embryology and Gametogenesis
- The presentation introduces embryology and gametogenesis, focusing on human development.
- Dr. Nurul Hannim binti Zaidun, MBBS, MSc (Medicine), from the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, UITM, is the presenter.
Learning Outcomes
- The presentation aims to cover developmental periods in embryology, gametogenesis, spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis, and oogenesis.
LO1: Developmental Periods in Embryology
-
Embryonic development involves a series of stages, transforming the zygote into a fully formed organism.
-
Divisions in embryonic development, specific stages, and their significance are discussed.
-
This includes the period from fertilization until the 23rd stage (D56) of the embryo.
-
A trimester is a three-month period and is one-third of the 9-month period of gestation
-
Prenatal periods encompass embryonic and fetal development, occurring before birth.
-
Postnatal periods follow birth and include infancy, childhood, puberty, and adulthood, illustrating progressive human development stages.
-
Key stages observed include development of the placenta, embryonic development, importance of learning each development stage.
Developmental Periods in Embryology
- Most developmental changes happen during the embryonic and fetal stages.
- Human development is classified into prenatal (before birth) and postnatal (after birth) periods.
- Within the prenatal period, the embryonic stage (weeks 3-8) is characterized by rapid advancement, particularly evident from the third to the eighth week.
- The fetal period (weeks 9-38) involves tissue and organ differentiation and increased body growth.
Stages of Embryonic Development
- Embryonic development spans from fertilization to approximately nine months (stage 23 / D56).
- A trimester represents a three-month segment of the nine-month gestation period.
- The critical embryonic stages, primarily during the initial trimester, are critical for embryonic and early fetal development.
LO2: Describe Gametogenesis
-
Gametogenesis is the production of mature gametes (sperm/oocytes) in the gonads starting from bipotential primordial germ cells.
-
Fertilization of male and female gametes results in the formation of a zygote that marks the transition into the neonate stage.
Gametogenesis, continued
- Gametes (germ cells) form during the second week of development as part of the primitive streak gastrulation process, within the developing gonads.
- Mitosis and meiosis are crucial in the preparation for fertilization to reduce genetic material.
LO3: Describe spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis
- Spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis produce mature sperm cells from the primordial germ cells in spermatogonia
- Divided into three phases of proliferation, differentiation and maturation
Spermatogenesis, continued
- PGCs form type A spermatogonia → mitosis type B spermatogonia → mitosis→ primary spermatocyte →meiosis I → secondary spermatocyte → meiosis II → spermatids→ spermatozoa
Spermatozoa Formation
- Spermatids undergo transformation to form mature spermatozoa.
- This includes acrosome formation, nuclear shrinkage and formation of the tail (flagellum).
LO4: Describe oogenesis
- Oogenesis is the formation of mature oocytes.
- Divided into three phases (multiplication, growth and maturation) in the ovaries.
Oogenesis, continued
-
Oogonia differentiate into primary oocytes (before birth); development continues during prenatal and postnatal maturation.
-
Oogonium → multiplication during fetal period through mitosis → primary oocytes (dormant in prophase I) → at puberty, completion of meiosis I occurs→ secondary oocytes → meiosis II (only if fertilization happens) maturation to the ovum (egg).
-
Early in oocyte formation, the oogonia generate many primary oocytes within ovarian follicles.
-
Before the onset of puberty, the primary oocytes arrest in prophase I.
-
At puberty, the mature follicles release secondary oocytes, which can, in turn, fuse with a sperm to create a zygote.
Oogenesis (Continued)
- Oogenesis encompasses three phases:
- Multiplication (intrauterine)
- Growth (primary oocyte to secondary oocyte)
- Maturation (secondary oocyte to ovum).
Additional Notes
- Abnormal chromosomes can result in various medical conditions (e.g., Trisomy 18, Trisomy 13, Klinefelter, Turner, Triple X).
- The presenter stresses the significance of embryology in understanding prenatal and postnatal development, the origins of life and diseases.
