Study Notes
Introduction to Embryology
- Embryology studies the formation, growth, and development of new individuals from an egg.
- Human embryology deals with human development from zygote to birth, emphasizing prenatal stages like fertilization and germ layer formation.
- Development continues postnatally, impacting structures like teeth and breasts.
Significance of Embryology
- Understanding prenatal development reveals normal and abnormal body structures.
- Aids in recognizing congenital malformations and their causes to prevent defects.
- Investigates genetic and environmental factors affecting development.
Developmental Anatomy and Periods
- Prenatal Development: Major changes occur before birth.
- Embryonic period: From fertilization to the end of the 8th week.
- Fetal period: Begins from the 9th week until birth.
- Postnatal Development: Changes occurring after birth, including teeth and breast development.
- Prenatal development is faster and results in more evident changes than postnatal development.
Critical Periods of Development
- Critical periods are specific times when body parts form and are sensitive to harmful agents (drugs, viruses).
- Damage during these periods can lead to congenital abnormalities.
Common Embryological Terminology
- Oocyte: Immature female germ cell.
- Ovum: Mature female germ cell.
- Sperm: Mature male germ cell.
- Zygote: Fertilized ovum.
- Neonate/Newborn: Infant within the first 28 days of life.
- Infant: Child from birth to 1 year.
Cell Division Types
- Mitosis: Somatic cells divide into two diploid daughter cells.
- Meiosis: Germ cells divide into four haploid cells through two stages.
Directional and Sectional Terminology
- Cranial: Top of embryo; Caudal: Tail end.
- Cephalic: Superior; Dorsal: Back side; Ventral: Belly side.
- Medial: Near midline; Lateral: Flank side.
- Divisions: Longitudinal, Coronal, Transverse segments.
Fertilization Process
- Restores diploid chromosome number.
- Determines embryo's sex and initiates cleavage (cell division).
Implantation
- The blastocyst embeds into the endometrium one week post-fertilization, completing by the 12th day.
- Normal site of implantation is the upper part of the uterus; ectopic pregnancy can occur in the Fallopian tube or ovaries.
Embryonic Disc Development
- Bilaminar Disc: Formed during week two, consisting of Epiblast and Hypoblast.
- Trilaminar Disc: Formed in week three with three layers:
- Embryonic Ectoderm: Develops CNS and skin.
- Intraembryonic Mesoderm: Forms skeletal muscle and connective tissues.
- Embryonic Endoderm: Forms cardiovascular tissues.
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) Overview
- Consider critical periods, stages of division, and organ development timings to answer.
- Emphasize the embryonic period's sensitivity: most disruption occurs here.
- Knowledge of germ cell production and embryonic layers contributes to correct answers on genetic and developmental questions.
