Lecture Questions- Student: z3295026


Lab 1 Questions:

1. What is the protein that the sperm binds to on the surface?

Zona pellucida protein ZP3 acts as receptor for sperm


2. Name the three stage of follicle development in the ovaries?

1. Primordal follicle

2. Secondary follicle- (Pre-antral follicle)

3. Graffian follicle- (Antral follicle):is the mature follicle

Lab 2 Questions:


1. What factor do the synctiotrophoblast cells secrete to support the ongoing pregnancy?

Syncitiotrophoblasts - form a multinucleated cytoplasmic mass by cytotrophoblast cell fusion and both invade the decidua and secrete hCG which act on ovaries to stop menstration , cell inovaries secretes hormones to to stop the cycle from continuiing (corpus lutuem)


2. What does the corpus luteum secrete to prevent continuation of the menstrual cycle?

The corpus luteum produces progesterone. Progesterone makes the lining of the uterus thick for implantation and is necessary to sustain a healthy pregnancy. The corpus luteum produces progesterone until the placenta begins to take over progesterone production around ten weeks gestation. Another hormone secrete is estrogen.


3. What are the 2 main tissues to be derived from the germ cell layer continuous with the lining of the amniotic sac?

formed by two germ cell layers including :

1.Epiblast= ecoderm which forms= Central nervous system ( edge of ecoderm= epidermis)

2.Mesoderm ( spread entire cavity)= extra-embryonic mesoderm (connective tissue in orgin)

3.Endoderm'

Lab 3 Questions:

1. What period of human development (in weeks) do the 23 Carnegie stages cover?

8(weeks) and 4(days) to full development


2. What part of the somite will contribute to the vertebral column?

Only the ventromedial portion known as the sclerotome contributes the axial vertebral column



3. At what Carnegie stage does the human neural tube normally completely close?

Stage 13 (4 weeks) the neural tube is normally completely closed

Lab 4 Questions

Into what structure do most blood vessels empty before they enter the embryonic heart?

The blood gets dumped into the common cardinal veins, and these common cardinals empty into the sinus venosus


What do the dorsal aortas become in the adult?

Descending aorta


What are the layers of cells found in a tertiary villi?

Layers of troph ecoderm cell, extraembryonic mesoderm, and celluar material that lines blood capillarys( endothial) :TROPHOBLAST,MESODERM AND BLOOD VESSELS. --Joe Nassif 14:29, 20 August 2009 (EST)


Lab 5 Questions:

What was the question I said in the respiratory lecture would be part of this week's assessment?

What is Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and how does it affect the human lungs?


What is the answer to the above question?

Congenital means born with and a hernia is a problem where something goes through a hole it is not supposed to. The hole is in your baby's diaphragm. The diaphragm is a muscle that helps us to breathe and keeps the organs in the abdomen from going into the chest cavity In your baby's case, the hole stayed open. This allowed some of the intestines to go into the chest cavity. Since the intestines were in the chest cavity and not where they were supposed to be, the lungs could not grow in the normal space that they need (they had to share the space with the intestines). This means that the lungs are smaller than they should be.



Lab 6 Questions


Which is the more common clefting, cleft lip or cleft palate?

  • Cleft Lip

What structures does pharyngeal pouch 1 form?

  • Tubotympanic recess, tympanic cavity, mastoid antrum, eustachian tube


Neural crest forms which cells within the skin?

  • Neural crest cells- (melanocytes) migrate into epithelium. These are the pigment cell of the skin.

"Lab 9 Questions"

What is a myotube and how is it formed?

A myotube is a multinucleated cell which is an undifferentiated contractile apparatus. It is formed by fusion of myoblasts which happens during skeletal development. What changes would I expect to see in the muscle fibre types in my legs if I:

a) Suffered a spinal cord injury; muscle atrophy as well as conversion of slow twitch muscle fibres to fast twitch muscle fibres. b) Took up marathon running; muscle growth (hypertrophy) and conversion of fast twitch fibres to slow twitch fibres.
