Term
When does prenatal development begin?
Definition
At the start of pregnancy and continues until the birth of the child.
Term
Define Embryology
Definition
Study of prenatal development
Term

Prenatal development consists of 3 distinct stages what are they?

What trimesters do these periods make up?

Definition

Preimplantaion period 1st

Embryonic period 1st

fetal period 2nd and 3rd

Term
What is a primordium?
Definition
Earliest indication of part of an organ during prenatal development.
Term
What is involved with congenital malformations?
Definition
birth defects noticable at birth. Occur in preimplantaion and embryonic stage. Can occur from drugs called tertogens. Can lead to malformations in face neck and oral cavity.
Term
What is a teratogen?
Definition
Environmental agents or factors that consist of infections, drugs, and radiation.
Term
Describe the preimplantation period?
Definition
period of unattached conceptus that takes place during the first week. Women ovum penetrated by sperm during fertilization. Forms a zygote(fertilized egg)
Term
What is meiosis, and what happens in its final stages?
Definition
process of cell reproduction that ensures correct number of chromosomes for embryo. diploid # of 46. Then reduced to haploid of 23. Full parental chromosomes results in prenatal death.
Term
What is a karyotype?
Definition
Photographic analysis of a persons chromosomes is arranged in pairs.
Term
Discuss what happens during cleavage and implantation?
Definition
cleavage or mitosis occurs and the cell is converted from zygote to blastocyst. the blastocyst splits and undergoes mitosis to create more cells. Blastocyst travels back to uterus and undergoes implantation.
Term
What is cleavage?
Definition
Process during prenatal development when individual cell division or mitosis converts a zygote to a blastocyst
Term
Morula
Definition
Solid ball of cells after initial cleavage
Term
Mitosis that occurs during cell division does what?
Definition
self duplication of chromosomes of the parent cell and the equal distribution to daughter cells.
Term
Where does implantation occur?
Definition
Uterus lining (endometrium). Back wall of uterus toward spine.(optimal place)
Term
What is a blastocyte and what layers are present?
Definition
the former zygote. Consists of trophoblast (peripheral cells), embryoblast layer which is small inner mass of embryonic cells - later gives rise to embryo.
Term
Describe the facial and oral presentaions involved with down syndrome
Definition
flat broad face with wide set eyes, flat bridged nose, epicanthic folds. This is a chromosomal abnormality occuring @ chromosome # 21
Term
what happens during ectopic pregnancy?
Definition
implantation occured outside the uterus can implant in fallopian tubes due to scarred tubes and cause loss of embryo.
Term
Describe the embryonic period?
Definition
begining of 2nd week to end of eighth week. include induction, proliferation, differentiation, morphogenisis, and maturation.
Term
What happens during induction and proliferation?
Definition

action of one group of cells on another that leads to the establishment of the developmental pathway in responding tissues.

Proliferation: controlled levels of cellular growthduring most of the embryological development.

Term
what types of growth can occur in the embryo?
Definition
interstitial: occurs from deep within a tissue or organ. Appositional: tissue enlarges its size by the addition of layers on the outside.
Term
Name and define the different types of differentiation.
Definition
identical cells structurally but functionally take on new specialized paths. beginings of major tissues. Types: Cytodiferentiation, Histodifferentiation, Morphodifferentiation
Term

Cytodifferentiation:

Histodifferentiation:

Morphodifferentiation:

Definition

1. development of dif cell types

2. Development of different tissues within a structure

3. Differing structure or morphology for each organ system

Term
Maturation
Definition
Attainment of adult function and size due to proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis
Term
Morphogenesis
Definition
the process of development of a specific tissue structure or shape
Term
Define Morphogenesis in relation to the embryo?
Definition
morphogenisis is the migration of embryonic cells and inductive interactions of those cells.
Term
What occurs during the 2nd week of prenatal development?
Definition
the implanted blastocyst grows by increased proliferation of the embryonic cells, as well as morphogenesis and differentiation.
Term
Name the layers of the bilaminar disc and other related tissues
Definition
Superior epiblast layer (columnar cells) and inferior hypoblast layer. (cuboidal cells)
Term
After bilaminar disc creation what happens?
Definition
suspended into the uterus between amniotic cavity (faces epiblast layer) and yolk sac (faces hypoblast layer) Yolk sac = nourishment
Term
Placenta
Definition
prenatal organ joins pregnant womans developing embryo. Develops from interactions of the trophoblast layer and endometrial tissues. This permits selective exchange between blood substances
Term
What occurs during the third week of prenatal development?
Definition
The primitive streak forms within the bilaminar disc.
Term
What is bilateral symmetry?
Definition
The primitive streak that causes the disc to divide into right and left half so that each half mirrors the other half of the embryo.
Term
What are the layers of the trilaminar disk? To what do they give rise to?
Definition

Former Epiblast layer is Ectoderm.

Former Hypoblast layer is Endoderm.

Mesoderm

Term
What tissues Endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm give rise to?
Definition

1. Endoderm - epithelial linings of respiratory passages and digestive tract, including glandular organ cells

2. Ectoderm - epidermis of skin, nervous system

3. Mesoderm - muscle coats, connective tissue, vessels supplying tissues, organs and other tissues

Term
What are the landmarks of the trilaminar embryonic disk?
Definition

Cephalic End - Oropharyngeal membrane - ectoderm and endoderm - Future primitive mouth

Caudal end - cloacal membrane - ectoderm and endoderm - terminal end of digestive tract.

Term
Discuss the early formation of the central nervous system
Definition
specialized cells differentiate from ectoderm. These cells then become neuroectoderm.
Term
What are the neural crest cells, and how are they related to the development of structures in the head and neck region?
Definition
3rd week neural crest cells develop from neuroectoderm. They disperse into messenchyme and in the future are involved in development of nervous system, connective tissue, cartilage, bone, pulp, dentin, cementem, and periodontal ligament. by influencing ectomesenchyme.
Term
What are somites and how are they related to the development of structures in the embryo?
Definition
38 paired blocks of mesoderm. Later give rise to most of the skeletal structures of the head neck and trunk as well as muscles and dermis of skin.
Term
Describe the oral complications associated with ectodermal dysplasia?
Definition
Partial or complete anodontia. The absence of some or all teeth. Teeth in both dentitions typically have malformations
Term
What happens during the 4th week of prenatal development?
Definition
Disc undergoes embryonic folding into an embryo establishing for the first time human axis and placing tissue in proper position.
Term
What are the landmarks of the embryo in the fourth week?
Definition

foregut: primitive pharynx & primitive yolk sac

Midgut: form rest of digestive tract

Hindgut: form rest of digestive tract.

Term
Discuss the impact that rubella, syphilis, and alcohol can have on the embryo
Definition

Rubella: Cataracts, cardiac defects, and deafness

Syphilis: defects in inceisors and molars, blindness, deafness and paralysis

Alcohol: growth deficiency and mental retardation.

Term
Define the fetal period
Definition
begining of 9th week - 9th month maturation of existing structures as the embryo enlarges to become fetus
Term
Mesenchyme
Definition
originating from epiblasts. embryonic tissue that has the ability to differentiate into diverse types of connective tissues. (fibroblasts, chondroblasts, osteoblasts) creates mesoderm.
Term
primitive streak
Definition
furrowed rod shaped thickening in the middle of the embryonic disk.
Term
embryonic folding
Definition
folding of embryo that places tissues in there proper positions for future embryonic development.
Term
Neural Plate
Definition
band of cells that extends the length of the embryo from cephalic to caudal end

where the neural plate and groove come together to form the neural tube. Future spinal cord.
