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)

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.
