Term
How long is the prenatal development?
Definition
9 months, 40 weeks
Term
______ is the study of prenatal development.
Definition
Embryology
Term
Prenatal development consists of 3 distinct periods. What are those 3 distinct periods in order?
Definition
1. preimplantation
2. embryonic
3. fetal
Term
What prenatal developmental periods make up the 1st trimester?
Definition
preimplantation
embryonic
Term
What prenatal developmental period make up the last 2 trimesters?
Definition
fetal
Term
What is the preimplantation period and when does it occur?
Definition
A.) fertilization and implantation
B.) 1st week
Term
When does the embryonic period occur?
Definition
2nd- 8th week
Term
When does the fetal period occur?
Definition
3rd- 9th month
Term
Describe the preimplantation period.
Definition
SPERM fertilizes the OVUM which form a ZYGOTE

ZYGOTE will undergo MITOSIS and become a MORULA

MORULA will continue to divide secreting fluid and becoming a vesicle called BLASTOCYST
Term
What is the process of reproductive cell production that ensures the correct number of chromosomes for the future embryo?
Definition
Meiosis
Term
_________ is the portion of cell division that occurs in phases and results in 2 daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell.

Definition
blastocyst reaches the UTERUS and becomes imbedded in the endometrium
Term
What is the endometrium?
Definition
innermost lining of the uterus
Term
After 7 days of cell division the blastocyst consists of 2 definite layers of peripheral cells. What are those layers?
Definition
1. trophoblast
2. embryoblast
Term
What is the purpose of the trophoblast layer?
Definition
prenatal support (nourishes the embryo)
Term
What is the purpose of the embryoblast layer?
