them. Aristotle, 384-322 BC
Developmental Periods
Divide
Prenatal (before birth) and
Postnatal (after birth) periods

Embryology
11
Embryology
 Embryology :
– is the science which deals with the prenatal stage
i.e. the intrauterine development of the human
body till birth.
12
Teratology
• (Gr. teratos, monster)
• Is the division of embryology and pathology that
deals with abnormal development (birth defects).
• This branch of embryology is concerned with various
genetic and/or environmental factors that disturb
normal development and produce birth defects
13
Embryology
1.Prenatal period :
a) Germinal period
 Is the period from fertilization till formation of germ disk.
 Its duration is about (18-21) days .
 Safe period (non – sensitive to teratogenic agents ).
14
Embryology
1.Prenatal period :
b) Embryonic period
• is the period formation of germ disk till organogenesis .
• its duration is from 4th week to 8th week .
• Risk period (sensitive to teratogenic agents ).
15
Embryology
1. Prenatal period :
C) Fetal period
• is the period from organogenesis till birth.
• during this period there are :-
– Rapid body and organ growth .
– The brain , ear , eyes , teeth , adrenal glands , the external genitalia
continue development in this period .
– There is a relative reduction of head growth compared to body growth .
• less-safe period (less sensitive to teratogenic agents )
16
Developmental period
2. Postnatal period (new born / off spring
/neonate ):
The changes occurring in the body after
birth .

Types of Body cells
18
• A human being is formed of trillions of
cells; these cells are of two types:
A. Somatic cells- which are present in the
whole tissues of the body
B. Gametes which are the sperms and ova
19
A. Somatic cell
• Each Som. C nucleus contain 46 chromosomes
which are as follow
• 22 pair of identical chromosome- autosomes
• One pair of sex chromosomes which differ in the
two sexes
• 23,x
20
• The two chromosomes in each pair are
called homologous chromosome
• One is inherited from the mother and the
other is from the father
• Somatic cells are described as Diploid
because their chromosomes are in
homologus pair
21
Female somatic cell
• The pair of sex chromosomes are identical
and are called XX chromosomes.
22
Male somatic cells
• The pair of sex chromosomes are quit
different
• One being long and is known as X
chromosome
• The other is much smaller and is known as Y
23
Homologous Chromosomes
• Pair of chromosomes (maternal and paternal) that are similar
in shape and size.
• Homologous pairs (tetrads) carry genes controlling the same
inherited traits.
• Each locus (position of a gene) is in the same position on
homologues.
• Humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes.
22 pairs of autosomes
1 pair of sex chromosomes
Homologous Chromosomes
(because a homologous pair consists of 4 chromatids it is called a “Tetrad”)

Humans have 23 Sets of Homologous Chromosomes
Each Homologous set is made up of 2 Homologues.

Autosomes
(The Autosomes code for most of the offspring’s traits)
In Humans
the
“Autosomes
” are sets 1
- 22
Sex Chromosomes
The Sex Chromosomes code for the sex of the offspring.
** If the offspring has two “X” chromosomes it will be a female.
** If the offspring has one “X” chromosome and one “Y” chromosome it will
be a male.
XX chromosome - female XY chromosome - male
In Humans the
“Sex
Chromosomes” are
the 23rd set
Gamete (ovum or sperm)
• Germ cell beyond a certain stage of
development are haploid.
• At fertilization one set of paternal (sperm)
chromosomes unites with one set of
maternal(egg) chromosomes, restoring the
somatic cells that arise from it
29
• Although the two chromosomes of a
homologous pair appear to be identical, they
come from different parents and therefore are
not genetically identical.
30
Sex Chromosomes
The Sex Chromosomes code for the sex of the offspring.
** If the offspring has two “X” chromosomes it will be a female.
** If the offspring has one “X” chromosome and one “Y” chromosome it will
be a male.
XX chromosome - female XY chromosome - male
In Humans the
“Sex

Organization of the chromatin
A human cell usually has 46 molecules
of DNA with an average length of
44mm(total slightly over 2m)
34
• To put this in perspective, if a DNA molecule
were the thickness of a telephone pole, it would
reach about 4,400km into space-far higher than
the orbits of satellites and spece shuttles.
35
• Imagine trying to make a pole 20cm thick
and 4,400km long without breaking it!. The
problem for a cell is even greater.

3 Types of Cell Division
• Amitosi- direct cell division-lower animal
• Mitosis – ordinary somatic cell division
– 2 daughter cells with identical chromosomes and
genes to parents
– Diploid cells – 2n chromosome complement
• Meiosis – germline cell division
– Results in formation of gametes – cells with only 23
chromosomes
– Haploid cells – n chromosome complement
39
Mitosis
• The somatic cells start their life as daughter cells
after mitotic cell division. They then perform
their specific functions till they divided again
• An indirect cell division involving four phases
prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase and
Telophase followed by
Interphase
40
INTERPHASE
• The cell prepare itself for mitosis.
• Nuclear membrane and nucleolus are very
distinct.
• Chromosomes appear like threads or
filaments (chromatids).
• Divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S
(synthesis), and G2 (second gap)
41
Phases of Interphase
• G1 (gap 1)
– cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic
organelles
• S (synthesis)
– replication of the chromosomes
• G2 (gap 2)
– cell continue to grow and further protein synthesis
occur
42
Cell Cycle of a Somatic Cell
1. Interphase
1. G1
2. S
3. G2
G1 + S + G2 phases = 16-24 h
2. Mitosis
43
The Cell Cycle
G1
– Gap 1 (Lasts hours, days or years)
– cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic
organelles
– Occurs after mitosis and before S phase
44
end cells
The Cell Cycle
• G0 phase
Some cells may leave G1 stage permanently to perform
their specialized functions, these cells are then called
end cells
– Resting stage/quiescent stage
– Neurons, RBCs arrested in G1 = G0 phase – permanent G1
phase
– Liver cells enter G0 but on damage  G1 and cell cycle
continues
45
The Cell Cycle
S phase
– Stage of DNA synthesis
– Each chromosome replicates  bipartite chromosome made
up of sister chromatids
– End of each chromatid marked by telomeres – specialized DNA
sequences that ensure integrity of chromosomes during
division
– Sister chromatids held together at centromere – region of DNA
associated with kinetochore
– Provide a binding site for microtubules
– DNA replication happens at thousands of origins of DNA
replication
– replication of the chromosomes
46
The Cell Cycle
G2 phase
– Gap 2
– A very short period
– The cell is preparing for mitosis
– Cell’s DNA doubled in S phase
– Brief stage
– cell continue to grow and further protein synthesis occur
47

Centriole Replication
• At a certain point in G1, the
two centrioles of the pair
separate.
• During S phase, a daughter
centriole begins to grow
near the base of each
mother centriole and at a
right angle to it.
• The elongation of the
daughter centriole is usually
completed by G2
48
centrosome
Mitosis
• Mitosis: shortest of 4 stages
• Important component: chromosomal segregation –
process of distributing copy of each chromosome to
each daughter cell
• 5 stages:
1. Prophase
2. Prometaphase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
49
Mitosis is subdivided into prophase, prometaphase,
metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
• Prophase: Condensed chromosome start to become
visible, Centrosomes start moving apart, Nucleolus
starts disappearing
• Prometaphase: Nuclear membrane breaks down
• Metaphase: Chromosomes maximally condensed and
align at the metaphase plate
• Anaphase: The two sister chromatids separate and
move toward opposite poles
• Telophase: nucleus reassembly occurs, cytokinesis
occurs
50
51
Prophase
• Condensation of chromosomes
• Disintegration and disappearance of nucleolus
• Formation of mitotic spindle – microtubule network
52
Prometaphase
n Nuclear membrane breaks up
n Congression occurs – chromosomes move to point
midway between spindle poles
n Condensation of chromosomes continue
Metaphase
• Maximum condensation of chromosomes reached
• Arranged at equatorial plane of cell
• Balanced forces of microtubules from opposite
poles at kinetochores
53
Anaphase
• Begins when sister
chromatids separate
• Sister chromatids separate
into daughter
chromosomes
• Daughter chromosomes
move to opposite poles
54
Telophase and Cytokinesis
• Telophase
– Chromosomes decondense
– Nuclear membrane reforms
• Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm
– Cleavage begins as a slight indentation in
cell surface deepens into a cleavage
furrow.
– Actin contractile ring and myosin motors
drive the process
– Cytoplasm cleaves separating daughter
cells
• Larger organelles, such as ER and Golgi,
tend to fragment into small vesicles early
in mitosis and then reassemble in
daughter cells
55
Function of mitosis
• Formation of a multicellular embryo from a
fertilized egg
• Tissue growth
• Replacement of old and dead cells and
• Repair of injured tissue
• Egg and sperm are produced by a
combination of mitosis and meiosis
56
57
58
59
What if for gametogenesis
• Sexual reproduction- bi-parental
• If make a child-combined gamet
• There must be a mechanism Keep
chromosome number constant from
generation to generation
• 46 sperm chromosome 46 egg chro=
92+92=184 and forth
60
What if for gametogenesis
• To prevent the chromosome number from
doubling in every generation, the number is
reduced by half during gametogenesis.
61
Meiosis
• One round of DNA synthesis  2
rounds of chromosomal segregation
– Meiosis I – reduction division –
chromosome no. goes from diploid 
haploid
• Meiotic crossing over or
recombination also occurs here:
homologous segments of DNA
exchanged between nonsister
chromatids of pair of homologous
chromosomes
• Recombination important also for
chromosome segregation
– Meiosis II – like mitosis without a
preceding DNA replication stage
• Sister chromatids separate
62
Meiosis
• Meiosis can convert one diploid cell into four haploid cells
– Meiosis I: the first meiotic division
– Homologous pairs join together to form a bivalent
• Meiosis I produces two haploid cells that have
chromosomes composed of sister chromatids
– Unlike mitosis, in meiosis I, sister chromatids stay together.
– Thus, the cells at the end of meiosis I are considered haploid
because it contains only one of the two chromosomes of each
bivalent
– Genetic recombination
63
Meiosis I
• Prophase I: Homologous chromosomes become paired and exchange
DNA
– Divided into 5 stages
– Formation of synaptonemal complex and crossing-over occurs
• Metaphase I: Bivalents align at the spindle equator
– The kinetochores of sister chromatids lie side by side and face the same pole of
the cell
– Random orientation of maternal or paternal chromosomes
– Chromosomes held together by chiasmata
• Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes move to opposite spindle
poles
• Telophase I and cytokinesis: Two haploid cells are produced
64
65
Prophase I
• Leptotene
– chromatin begin to condense, 2 sister chromatids so close,
cannot be distinguished
• Zygotene
– Homologs pair along entire length – synapsis
– Chromosomes held together by synaptonemal complex
• Pachytene
– Synapsis complete, chromosome more tightly coiled
– Chromosome appear bivalent – tetrad formation
– Recombination takes place
• Diplotene
– Synaptonemal complex disappears
– Bivalents begin to separate but held together at centromeres a–
chiasmata
• Diakinesis – stage of max condensation
66
67
• The lateral elements of the
synaptonemal complex start
to attach to individual
chromosomes during
leptotene
• The central element, which
actually joins homologous
chromosomes, does not form
until zygotene
• The formation of the
synaptonemal complex is
essential for recombination
and for preventing aneuploidy
68
69
Bivalent Formation and
Crossing-over
Anaphase I
• Disjunction occurs – members of each bivalent move apart
– HOMOLOGS (and usually alleles) SEPARATE!!!
• Maternal and paternal chromosomes sort independently  223
combinations
70
Metaphase I
n Nuclear membrane disappears
n Spindle forms
n Bivalents align at equator
Telophase I & Cytokinesis
• Telophase I – 2 chromosome sets groups at
opposite poles
• Cytokinesis – cell divides into daughter cells
 enter meiotic interphase (no DNA
synthesis)
– Spermatogenesis: equal
– Oogenesis: secondary oocyte receives most
cytoplasm, other cell  1st polar body
71
Meiosis II
• Meiosis II resemble a mitotic division
• Prophase II is very brief
• Metaphase II
– Kinetochores of sister chromatids now face in opposite directions
• Anaphase II
– Sister chromatids separate
72
Genetic Consequences of Meiosis
• At the end of meiosis II there are four daughter cells, each containing
a haploid set of chromosome
– Reduction of chromosome number
• Segregation of alleles
• Random assortment of the homologues (law of independent
assortment)
– Meiosis generates genetic diversity
– Over 8 million different combinations of chromosomes
• Addition shuffling by crossing over
• Nondisjunction refers to the failure of the two members of a
homologous chromosome pair to separate during anaphase
– Leads to aneuploidy diseases (trisomy 21-Down syndrome)

Male genital system
1. The testis :
Is the male sex gland . it lies in the scrotum
suspended by the spermatic cord .it is
enclosed by an isolated part of the coelomic
membrane (the tunica vaginalis). The testis is
divided into 250 compartments (lobes). Each
containing (1-3)seminiferous tubules .
The interstitial cells :produce the male sex
hormone (testosterone).

2. Seminiferous tubules: (For formation of sperms)
Seminiferous tubules contain 2 types of cells :
• PGC----Spermatogonia (stem cells) – for production of sperms through
process of spermatogenesis .
• Sertoli cells (supporting cells):
– Give nourishment to developing spermatids.
– Give supporting to spermatogonia and spermatids.
– Eat the excess parts of spermatids during spermiogenesis.
81

3. Epididymis :
– storage and maturation of sperms .
– Adding two layers around the sperm
(glycoprotein coat and seminal protein coat.)
84
Male genital system
4. The accessory glands :
– Seminal vesicle : Secretes 60% of seminal fluid which contain
fructose sugar (for nutrition).
– Prostate gland :Secretes 20% of seminal fluid which contain
bicarbonate for alkalization of acidic urine and give milky
appearance of semen .
– Cowper’s gland (bulbo-urethral gland) :Secretes 20% of seminal fluid
which increase viscosity of the semen
85
Male genital system
 Notes: Primordial germ cells (PGC):
They are originated from the wall of the yolk sac at
the end of 3rd week of embryonic development. These
cells migrate by amoeboid movement from the yolk
sac toward the developing gonads (primitive sex
glands), where they arrive at the end of 4th week and
invading the genital ridges in 6th week of
development. PGC influence of development of the
gonads into testes or ovaries .
86
Primordial germ cells
Yolk sac
The first human germ cells (primordial germ cells) appear
in the wall of the yolk sac (3rd week)
87
The germ cells, through amoeboid movement, move
towards the gonads where they arrive at about 5th week
Primordial cells later differentiate into mature gametes
i.e. spermatogonia (male) or oogonia (female)

89
Spermatogenesis
• Spermatogonia, which have been dormant in
the seminiferous tubules of the testes since
the fetal period, begin to increase in number
at puberty.
• After several mitotic divisions, the
spermatogonia grow and undergo changes
producing successive generations of cells .
90
Spermatogenesis
• The newly formed cells can follow one of two
paths: they can continue dividing as stem
cells, also called type A spermatogonia,
or
they can differentiate during progressive mitotic
cycles to become type B spermatogonia.
91
Spermatogenesis
• Type B spermatogonia are progenitor cells
that will differentiate into primary
spermatocytes .
• The primary spermatocyte has 46 (44 + XY)
chromosomes and 4N of DNA. (N denotes
either the haploid set of chromosomes [23
chromosomes in humans] or the amount of
DNA in this set.)
92
Spermatogenesis
• Soon after their formation, these cells enter
the prophase of the first meiotic division.
Because this prophase takes about 22 days,
the majority of spermatocytes seen in sections
will be in this phase.
93
Spermatogenesis
• Each primary spermatocyte subsequently
undergoes a reduction division-the first
meiotic division-to form two haploid
secondary spermatocytes, which are
approximately half the size of primary
spermatocytes.
94
• Subsequently, the secondary spermatocytes
undergo a second meiotic division to form
four haploid spermatids, which are
approximately half the size of secondary
spermatocytes.
95
• The meiotic process therefore results in the
formation of cells with a haploid number of
chromosomes.
• With fertilization, the normal diploid number
is again attained.
96
97
98
99
Spermiogenesis
– Spermiogenesis : is the final stage of production of spermatozoids. The
spermatids are transformed into spermatozoa
Definition : The process of transformation of spermatids into sperms.

Spermiogenesis
• Spermiogenesis is a
complex process that
includes
1. Formation of the
acrosome (Gr. akron,
extremity, + soma,
body)
2. Condensation and
elongation of the
nucleus,
3. Development of the
flagellum, and
4. Loss of much of the
cytoplasm.
105
Spermiogenesis
• Spermiogenesis can be divided into three
phases.
The Golgi Phase
The Acrosomal Phase
The Maturation Phase
106
Golgi phase
• Prominent Golgi
complex near the
nucleus, mitochondria, a
pair of centrioles, free
ribosomes, and tubules of
smooth endoplasmic
reticulum.
107
• proacrosomal
granules
• acrosomal granule
• acrosomal vesicle.
• The centrioles
• The flagellar
axoneme
108
The Acrosomal Phase
• The acrosomal vesicle
spreads to cover the anterior
half of the condensing nucleus
and is then known as the
acrosome
• The acrosome contains
several hydrolytic enzymes
• dissociate cells of the corona
radiata and
• digest the zona pellucida,
109
hyaluronidase, neuraminidase, acid
phosphatase, and a protease
The acrosome
hyaluronidase,
neuraminidase,
acid phosphatase, and a protease
that has trypsin-like activity
110
The Acrosomal Phase
• One of the centrioles
grows concomitantly,
forming the flagellum.
• Mitochondria aggregate
around the proximal part
of the flagellum, forming a
thickened region known
as the middle piece
111
The Maturation Phase
• Residual cytoplasm is
shed and
phagocytosed by
Sertoli cells, and
• the spermatozoa are
released into the
lumen of the tubule
112
113
Spermatogenesis
• The end result is the mature
spermatozoon, which is then released into
the lumen of the seminiferous tubule
114
• Mature sperms are free-swimming, actively
motile cells consisting of
115
The Sperm
• The sperm consists of a head, neck, body and tail.
 The head
• The Head contains 2 main parts (the nucleus and the acrosome) both
have two basic functions of the sperm (genetic and activating
respectively ).
– The nucleus occupies most of the available space of sperm head
and its shape determines the shape of the head of the sperm. It
contains only its haploid complement of DNA.
– The acrosome contains hydrolytic enzymes as hyaluronidase and
acrosine
116
The Sperm
 Mid-piece
• connected to head with a neck .(contain mitochondria ).
117
The Sperm
 Tail
• Its function is movement of the sperm to swim with head
foremost .
– The sperm cell is totally devoid of stored food (yolk) and
protective envelope. it is also devoid of most cytoplasm organelles
such as ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum.

119
The Sperm
 Semen
 Source :
 it is ejaculated during the male sexual act. It is composed from the
fluids from the vas deferens , the seminal vesicles , the prostate gland
and the Cowper’s gland . The major bulk of the semen is seminal
vesicle fluid (60%)
 The average ph is approximately 7.5
120
The Sperm
 Semen
 Content :
 The usual quantity of semen ejaculated averages approximately 3.5 ml
and in each ml. of semen is an average of 120 million sperms.
 In normal persons , this number can vary from 35 millions to 200
millions . therefore an average of 400 million . Sperms are usually
present in each ejaculate . When the number of sperms in each ml falls
below approximately 20 million sperms , The person is likely to be
infertile .
121
• Of the 200 to 300 million spermatozoa deposited in the vagina, only 300 to
500 reach the ovum
• Only one sperm fertilizes the ovum.
• Other spermatozoa aid the fertilizing sperm in penetrating the ovum
barriers by their enzymes.
• Only capacitated sperm pass freely through corona radiata
122
The Sperm
 Transport of sperms
– Sperms are non motile while they lie inside the male genital tract ,
but become motile after ejaculation in the vagina . By the undulating
movement of their tails which act as propellers , The sperms ascend
in the cervical canal and reach the cavity of the uterus . They are
capable of swimming against the current produced by the cilia of the
uterus . Few reach The uterine tubes where fertilization takes place .
123
The Sperm
 Viability of sperms
– The sperms discharged in the female genital tract can remain a live
and motile . However , the period during which they are able to
fertilize the egg (i.e. viable) is variable . It is believed that the sperms
remain viable for (1-2)days only .
Note :
 Human sperms were preserved alive in vitro for 2 weeks .
124
The Sperm
 Abnormalities of sperms
 Numerical abnormalities
a. Azo spermia (Aspermia ): No sperms at all , is found in the
semen .
b. Oligosperms : the number of sperms is few in the semen
c. Necrospermia : the sperms are found dead
125
The Sperm
 Abnormalities of sperms
 Morphological abnormalities
 The head and the tail may be abnormal , they may be:
a. Giants
b. Dwarfs
c. Some times , sperms are joined in head or in tail
d. No tail
126
The Sperm
 Abnormalities of sperms
 Sperms with morphological abnormalities lack motility and don’t
fertilize the egg.

128
The female reproductive system
 The ovary:
 Is the female sex gland . It lies in the ovarian fossa in the side wall of the
pelvis . Its function is production of ova . It secretes two hormones:
a. Estrogen (sex hormone): responsible for appearing of 2nd female sex
characters . This hormone is secreted from Graffian follicle .
b. Progesterone (pregnancy hormone):responsible for maintenance of
pregnancy by increase the thickness and vascularity of uterine
endometrium . This hormone is secreted from corpus luteum after
ovulation process .
129
The female reproductive system
 The uterus:
 In which the fetus develop . It lies between the bladder anteriorly and the
rectum posteriorly .
 is a thick-walled, pear-shaped muscular organ averaging 7 to 8 cm in length,
5 to 7 cm in width at its superior part, and 2 to 3 cm in wall thickness
 The uterus consists of two major parts
.Body, the expanded superior two thirds

131
The perimetrium
• is a peritoneal layer that is firmly attached to
the myometrium.
• outer serosa (connective tissue and
mesothelium) or adventitia (connective
tissue).
132
The Myometrium
the thick smooth muscle layer
133
Endometrium
• During the luteal (secretory) phase of the
menstrual cycle, three layers of the
endometrium can be distinguished
microscopically :
compact layer
spongy layer
basal layer
134
compact layer
• A thin, compact layer consisting of densely
packed, connective tissue around the necks of
the uterine glands
135
spongy layer
• A thick, spongy layer composed of edematous
connective tissue containing the dilated,
tortuous bodies of the uterine glands
136
basal layer
• A thin, basal layer containing the blind ends of
the uterine glands
• At the peak of its development, the
endometrium is 4 to 5 mm thick.
• The basal layer of the endometrium has its
own blood supply and is not sloughed off
during menstruation.
137
functional layer
• The compact and spongy layers, known
collectively as the functional layer,
disintegrate and are shed during menstruation
and after parturition (delivery of a baby).

OOGENESIS
Oogenesis (ovogenesis) is the sequence of events by which oogonia
are transformed into mature oocytes.
• This maturation process
begins before birth and
is completed after
puberty.
• Oogenesis continues to
menopause, which is
permanent cessation of
the menses (bleeding
associated with the
menstrual cycles).

147
1. prenatal maturation
• Around the end of the first month primordial
germ cells migrates from the yolk sac to the
gonadal primordia.
• In the gonads these cells divide and transform
into oogonia.
148
1. prenatal maturation
• Division is so intense that
• 2nd -600,000 oogonia,
• 5th - >>>7 million.

151
1. prenatal maturation
• During early fetal life(3rd month),
oogonia proliferate by mitosis.
• Oogonia enlarge to form primary
oocytes before birth
• As a primary oocyte forms,
connective tissue cells surround it
and form a single layer of
flattened, follicular epithelial cells
• The primary oocyte enclosed by
this layer of cells constitutes a
primordial follicle.
152
1. prenatal maturation
• Primary oocytes begin
the first meiotic division
before birth.
But instead of proceeding
into metaphase
They enter
diplotene stage of of
meiosis I.
(Diplotene stage-resting
stage during prophase)
153
1. prenatal maturation
• The follicular cells (flat)
are believed to secrete a substance,
oocyte maturation inhibitor, which keeps the
meiotic process of the oocyte arrested.
Prophase
The primary oocytes remain dormant
in the ovarian follicles until puberty.
154
1. prenatal maturation
By 7th.month
• Majority of Oogonia (as well
as primary oocytes)
degenerate
• Most of the Serviving
Primary Oocytes
(at prophase of meiosis I.)
are individually
surrounded by a layer of flat
epithelial cells & form
Primodial follicle
(primary oocyte with a layer of flat
epithelial cells) 155
Postnatal Maturation of Oocytes
• As the primary oocyte
enlarges during puberty, the
follicular epithelial cells
become cuboidal in shape and
then columnar, forming a
primary follicle.
• The primary oocyte soon
becomes surrounded by a
covering of amorphous
acellular glycoprotein material,
the zona pellucida.
• Scanning electron microscopy
of the surface of the zona
pellucida reveals a regular
meshlike appearance with
intricate fenestrations.
156
Postnatal Maturation of
Oocytes
• As a follicle matures, the primary oocyte
increases in size and, shortly before ovulation,
completes the first meiotic division to give rise
to a secondary oocyte and the first polar
body.
• Unlike the corresponding stage of
spermatogenesis, however, the division of
cytoplasm is unequal.
157
Postnatal Maturation of
Oocytes
• The polar body is a small,
nonfunctional cell that
soon degenerates.
• At ovulation, the nucleus
of the secondary oocyte
begins the second meiotic
division, but progresses
only to metaphase, when
division is arrested.

158
Postnatal Maturation of
Oocytes

the ovaries
• two million newborn
• no more than 40,000
adolescence
• Of these, only
approximately 400
become secondary
oocytes and are
expelled at ovulation
during the reproductive
period.
• Few of these oocytes, if
any, are fertilized and
become mature.
159
Postnatal Maturation of Oocytes
• Beginning during puberty, usually one
follicle matures each month and
ovulation occurs
160
161
The ovum
 The ovum resembles any ordinary cell in its structure . It is large oval cell
which varies from (117-142) μ in diameters .
162
The ovum
 Coverings :
a. 2 membranes :an inner thin delicate one called vitelline membrane
and an outer thick transparent membrane called zona pellucida .
b. Corona radiata: 2 or 3 layers of cells which surround the zona
pellucida when the ovum is shed from follicle .

females
undergo reproductive cycles
(sexual cycles), involving
activities of
the hypothalamus of the
brain,
pituitary gland (L.,
hypophysis),
ovaries,
uterus,
uterine tubes,
vagina, and
mammary glands.
• These monthly cycles
prepare the
reproductive system for
pregnancy.

Hormonal changes At puberty
& Ovarian cycle
• Hypothalamus produces hormone
• - gonadotropin releasing ( GnRH. )
• GnRH. Acts on Ant. Pituitary
• Ant.Pit. --- Secretes FSH.& LH.
• -these hormones stimulate & control cyclical changes
in ovary

stimulates the follicular
cells and
corpus luteum to produce
progesterone.
174
OVARIAN CYCLE
• FSH and LH produce cyclic changes in the
ovaries-the ovarian cycle
Which include
A. development of follicles,
B. ovulation and
C. corpus luteum formation.
175
A. Follicular Development
Development of an ovarian follicle is characterized by:
- Growth and differentiation of primary oocyte
- Proliferation of follicular cells
- Formation of zona pellucida
- Development of the theca folliculi
176
A. Follicular Development
1. primordial follicles—consist of
a primary oocyte
enveloped by a single
layer of flattened follicular
cells
177
A. Follicular Development
2. primary follicle
Follicular cells divide by
mitosis and form a
single layer of cuboidal
cells; the follicle is then
called a unilaminar
primary follicle
Early primary follicle
178
A. Follicular Development
• Follicular cells
continue to proliferate
and form a
multilaminar
primary or preantral
follicle
179
A. Follicular Development
• A thick amorphous
layer, the zona
pellucida, surrounds
the oocyte.
• Filopodia of follicular
cells and microvilli of
the oocyte penetrate
the zona pellucida and
make contact with one
another via gap
junctions.
180
A. Follicular Development
3. secondary or antral follicles
Liquid (liquor folliculi) begins to
accumulate between the follicular
cells. The small spaces that contain
this fluid coalesce, and the granulosa
cells reorganize themselves to form a
larger cavity, the antrum .
• The follicles are then called
secondary or antral follicles.
Glycosaminoglycans,
progesterone,
androgens, and
estrogens
181
A. Follicular Development
• Cells concentrated at a certain
point on the follicular wall
forms a small hillock of cells,
the cumulus oophorus, that
protrudes toward the interior
of the antrum and contains
the oocyte .
• A group of granulosa cells
concentrates around the
oocyte and forms the corona
radiata. These granulosa cells
accompany the oocyte when it
leaves the ovary.
182
A. Follicular Development
• the fibroblasts of the
stroma immediately
around the follicle
differentiate to form the
theca folliculi (theca
from Greek, meaning
box).
• This layer subsequently
differentiates into the
theca interna and the
theca externa
183
A. Follicular Development
• The theca soon differentiates into two layers,
an internal vascular and glandular layer, the
theca interna, and a capsule-like layer, the
theca externa.
184
A. Follicular Development
• Thecal cells are thought to produce an
angiogenesis factor that promotes growth of
blood vessels in the theca interna, which
provide nutritive support for follicular
development.
185
A. Follicular Development
• The dominant follicle
may reach the most
developed stage of
follicular growth—the
mature,

require LH as well.
• Growing follicles produce estrogen,
189
A. Follicular Development
• Estrogen
regulates development and function of the
reproductive organs.
• The vascular theca interna
produces follicular fluid and some estrogen.
Its cells also secrete androgens that pass to
the follicular cells, which, in turn, convert
them into estrogen.

• Time of Ovulation
• -14 day before next
menstruation
• (for woman with regular
• 28 days cycle)
192
B Ovulation
• Around midcycle, the ovarian
follicle, under the influence of
FSH and LH, undergoes a sudden
growth spurt, producing a cystic
swelling or bulge on the surface
of the ovary.
• A small avascular spot, the
stigma, soon appears on this
swelling.
• Before ovulation, the secondary
oocyte and some cells of the
cumulus oophorus detach from
the interior of the distended
follicle.

Ovary
Ovulation occurs
194
Ovulation is triggered by a
surge of LH production.
Ovulation usually follows the
LH peak by 12 to 24 hours.
The LH surge, elicited by the
high estrogen level in the
blood, appears to cause the
stigma to balloon
out, forming a vesicle.
The stigma soon ruptures,
expelling the secondary
oocyte with the follicular fluid.
B Ovulation
• The expelled
secondary oocyte is
surrounded by the
zona pellucida and
one or more layers of
follicular cells, which
are radially arranged
as the corona
radiata, forming the
oocyte-cumulus
complex.
195
B Ovulation
• The LH surge also seems to induce resumption
of the first meiotic division of the primary oocyte.
• Hence, mature ovarian follicles contain
secondary oocytes
196
C Corpus Luteum
• Shortly after ovulation, Under LH influence, the
walls of the ovarian follicle and theca folliculi
collapse and are thrown into folds they develop
into a glandular structure, the corpus luteum
197
corpus luteum
secretes
progesterone and
 some estrogen,
• causing the
endometrial glands to
secrete and prepare
the endometrium for

198
Type of corpus luteum
1. corpus luteum of
pregnancy :
2 corpus luteum of menstruation
199
corpus luteum of pregnancy :
1. If the oocyte is fertilized, the
corpus luteum enlarges to form a
corpus luteum of pregnancy and
increases its hormone
production.
• Degeneration is prevented by
human chorionic gonadotropin.
• 20 weeks of pregnancy.
• the placenta

days after ovulation.
transformed into white
scar tissue in the ovary,
a corpus albicans.
201
Duration of ovarian cycle
• Ovarian cycle persist
• throughout the
reproductive life of
women and terminate
at menopause, the
permanent cessation of
menstruation, usually
between the ages of 48
and 55.
• No ovarian cycle
• during pregnancy
• menopause
202
Menstrual (Endometrial) Cycle
• is the time during which the oocyte matures, is
ovulated, and enters the uterine tube.
• The hormones produced by the ovarian
follicles and corpus luteum (estrogen and
progesterone) produce cyclic changes in the
endometrium.
203
Menstrual (Endometrial) Cycle
• The average menstrual cycle is 28 days,
with day 1 of the cycle designated as the
day on which menstrual flow begins

206
Phases of menstrual cycle
2. Proliferative Phase.
The proliferative (follicular,

~ 9 days
coincides with growth of
ovarian follicles and is
controlled by estrogen
secreted by these follicles.
• two- to-three fold increase
in the thickness of the
endometrium and in its
water content
• Early during this phase, the
surface epithelium reforms
and covers the
endometrium.
• The glands increase in
number and length, and the
spiral arteries elongate.
207
Phases of menstrual cycle
3 Luteal Phase.
The luteal (secretory, progesterone) phase,
~ 13 days,
coincides with the formation, functioning, and
growth of the corpus luteum.
208
Luteal phase
• The progesterone produced
by the corpus luteum
stimulates the glandular
epithelium to secrete a
glycogen-rich material.
• The glands become wide,
tortuous, and saccular, and
the endometrium thickens
because of the influence of
progesterone and estrogen
from the corpus luteum and
because of increased fluid
in the connective tissue..
• As the spiral arteries grow
into the superficial compact
layer, they become
increasingly coiled.
• The venous network
becomes complex and large
lacunae (venous spaces)
develop.
• Direct arteriovenous
anastomoses are prominent
features of this stage
209
What happen to emdometrium cycle if
210
If fertilization does not occur
• The corpus luteum degenerates.
 Estrogen and progesterone levels fall and
 The secretory endometrium enters an
ischemic phase.
• Menstruation occurs.
211
If fertilization occurs
• Cleavage of the zygote
and blastogenesis
(formation of blastocyst)
occur.
• The blastocyst begins to
implant on approximately
the sixth day of the luteal
phase (day 20 of a 28-day
cycle).
• Human chorionic
gonadotropin, keeps the
corpus luteum secreting
estrogens and progesterone.
• The luteal phase continues
and menstruation does not
occur.

• Emission:
• Epd-to-the prostatic part of
the urethra ----peristalsis of
the ductus deferens
• Ejaculation
• from the urethra through the
external urethral orifice; this
results from closure of the
vesical sphincter at the neck of
the bladder, contraction of
urethral muscle, and
contraction of the
bulbospongiosus muscles.
219
Sperm Transport in FRT
• external os ----cervical canal
By movements of their tails.
• Why against??????
• The enzyme vesiculase, produced by
the seminal glands, coagulates some
of the semen or ejaculate and forms a
vaginal plug that may prevent the
backflow of semen into the vagina.
• When ovulation occurs, the cervical
mucus increases in amount and
becomes less viscid, making it more
favorable for sperm transport.
220
Sperm Transport in In FRT
• Cervical canal through the uterus
to uterine tubes
mainly from muscular contractions of
the walls of these organs.
• Prostaglandins in the semen
• stimulate uterine motility at the
time of intercourse and assist in
the movement of sperms to the
site of fertilization in the ampulla
of the tube.
• Fructose, secreted by the seminal
glands,
is an energy source for the sperms in
the semen.
221
1. The volume of sperm or

4. No of sperm that reach the Ampula
Only approximately 200 sperms
reach the fertilization site. Most
sperms degenerate and are
resorbed by the female genital
tract.
222
MATURATION OF SPERMS
• In most species, Freshy ejaculated spermatozoa are not capable of fertilization
immediately upon entering the female reproductive tract
• Sperm must undergo capacitation before they are fertilized
Definition:
• Morphologic, physiologic, and biochemical changes which occur to the sperm
result in sperm capable of penetrating through the corona radiate and zona
pellucid of the ovum. (removal of macro-molecular material from the sperm
surface)
223
MATURATION OF SPERMS
Freshy ejaculated sperm must undergo
• a .Capacitation-utrus &FT
• b .Acrosomal reaction
• a. Capacitation
• Definition
- process in which changes occur in
Sperm during its passage
thro’female reproductive tract
- Changes (during Capacitation) are.
- removal of the following from plasma
membr.
- fr. Plasma membr.of Sperm overlying
Acrosome
- i. glycoprotein coat
- ii. seminal plasma protein
- Duration:
- -last for about 7 hours 224
Capacitation of the sperm
• Is a period of sperm conditioning in the female
genital tract; mainly in the uterine tube & it takes
about 7 hrs.
• It entails epithelial interaction between the sperm
and mucosal surface of the tube resulting in:
- Removal of a glycoprotein coat and seminal plasma
proteins from plasma membrane overlying the
acrosomal region of spermatozoa.
• Only capacitated sperm pass through corona cells &
undergo acrosome reaction.
Effects of Capacitation on Sperm
• Increased rate of metabolism
• Flagellum beats more rapidly; Result: Sperm
are more motile
• Changes in sperm plasmalemma proteins allow
sperm-egg binding and occurrence of the
acrosome reaction
• Pro-Acrosin (inactive) is converted to acrosin
(active)
• Sperm become capable of chemotaxis
226
b.Acrosomal reaction
The acrosomal cap contains
several enzymes like acid phosphatase,
hyaluronidase, which are
involved in
penetration of the oocyte.
Just before approaching the oocyte,
the capacitated sperm head establishes multiple contacts
and discharges the chemical substances in succession to overcome the
barriers around the oocyte.
This process of multiple contacts is known as acrosome reaction.

holds the cumulus oopherus cells together.
• Acrosin
This enzyme plus sperm flagellum aid in penetrating to the
perivitelline space
229
230
Note the following
• Oocyte
• It takes about 72 hours for an egg to reach the
uterus
• If it is to survive, an egg must be fertilixed
within 12 to 24 hours for an egg to reach the
uterus.
• Therefore, in order to fertilize the egg before it
dies, sperm must encounter it somewhere in
the distal one-third of the uterine tube.
231
Sperm
• spermatozoa can reach the distal uterine tube
within 5-10minutes of ejaculation, but they
cannot fertilize an egg for about 10hours.
• most sperm are fertile for a maximum of
48hours after ejaculation, so there is little
chance of ferilizing an egg if intercourse occurs
more than 48 hours before ovulation
232
Viability of gametes
• human oocytes are usually fertilized within 12
hours after ovulation(12-24hours).
• Most human sperms probably do not survive
for more than 48 hours in the female genital
tract.
233
• Of the 200 to 300 million spermatozoa deposited in the vagina, only 300 to
500 reach the ovum
• Only one sperm fertilizes the ovum.
• Other spermatozoa aid the fertilizing sperm in penetrating the ovum
barriers by their enzymes.
• Only capacitated sperm pass freely through corona radiata
234
Viability of Oocyte
&Spermatozoa
• Oocyte after ovulation
• -24 hours
• Spermatozoa after ejaculation
• -48 hours

FERTILIZATION
• Defnition
• Fertilization is a complex sequence of coordinated molecular events that
begins with contact between a sperm and an oocyte and ends with the
intermingling of maternal and paternal chromosomes at metaphase of the
first mitotic division of the zygote, a unicellular embryo

242
Zygote
A zygote is a highly specialized, totipotent
cell that marks the beginning of each of us
as a unique individual.
243
zygote
244
The unicellular zygote divides many times and becomes progressively
transformed into a multicellular human being through
cell division,
migration,
growth, and
differentiation.
Results of fertilization
1. Restoration of the diploid numbers of chromosomes half from the father
and half from the mother . Hence the zygote contains a few combination
of chromosomes different from both parents .
2. Determination of the sex of the new individual . An X-carrying sperm will
produce a female (XX) embryo , and a Y – carrying sperm will produce a
male (XY)embryo . Hence .the chromosomal sex of the embryo . is
determined at fertilization.
 Chromosome Y contains TDF (Testis determining factor ).
245
Results of fertilization
3. The characters , state of health or disease and the features derived
father and mother are determined by fertilization and carried to
the fetus .
4. Initiation of cleavage : without fertilization , The Oocyte usually
degenerates 24 hours after ovulation.

Compaction
After the nine-cell stage, the blastomeres change their
shape and tightly align themselves against each other
to form a compact ball of cells
255
Importance of compaction
Compaction permits greater cell-to-cell
interaction and is a prerequisite for
segregation

-This new cavity is known as the secondary yolk sac or definitive yolk sac.
-This yolk sac is much smaller than the original exocoelomic cavity, or primitive yolk sac.
--During its formation, large portions of the exocoelomic cavity are pinched off.
These portions are represented by exocoelomic cysts, which are often found in the
extraembryonic coelom or chorionic cavity.

Ectopic Pregnancy
Implantation of blastocysts usually
occurs in the endometrium of
the uterus, superior in the body
of the uterus, slightly more
often on the posterior than on
the anterior wall.
Definition
Failure of implantation of a fertilized ovum
inside the endometrial cavity.
OR
Development of the pregnancy outside its
normal place for implantation.
300
Cause
1) Previous Tubal Infections
2) Previous Tubal or Pelvic Surgery
3) Hormonal Factors- interfere with normal tubal motility of the fertilized ovum
4) Contraceptive Failure- interfere with normal tubal motility of the fertilized ovum
5) Stimulation of Ovulation- stimulating drugs for ovulation- These drugs alter the
estrogen/progesterone level, which can affect tubal motility
6) Infertility Treatment (with in vitro fertilization (IVF) or gamete intrafallopian
transfer (GIFT) since underlying tubal damage is frequently one of the causative
factors predisposing one to this type of infertility treatment.)
7) Environmental Effect- Maternal cigarette smoking at the time of conception was
found in a case-controlled study, to be associated with an increased risk of an ectopic
pregnancy
8) Transmigration of Ovum Migration of the ovum from one ovary to the opposite
fallopian tube can occur by an extrauterine or intrauterine route. This can cause a
potential delay in transportation of the fertilized ovum to the uterus. Then
trophoblastic tissue is present on the blastocyst before it reaches the uterine cavity,
and therefore the trophoblastic tissue implants itself on the wall of the fallopian
tube.

 Rapid development of the embryo from the
embryonic disc during the third week is characterized
by
 Appearance of primitive streak (the first sign of
gastrulation)
 Development of notochord
 Differentiation of three germ layers
Primitive streak
324
325
Thickened linear band the primitive stre
As soon as the primitive streak appears, it is possible to identify
the embryo's
craniocaudal axis,
its cranial and
caudal ends,
its dorsal and ventral surfaces, and
its right and left sides.
The primitive groove and pit result from the invagination (inward
movement) of epiblastic cells-Mesenchymal
Shortly after the primitive streak appears, cells leave its deep surface and form
mesenchyme,
Mesenchyme is a tissue consisting of loosely arranged cells suspended in a gelatinous
matrix.
Mesenchymal cells are ameboid and actively phagocytic .
Mesenchyme forms the supporting tissues of the embryo, such as most of the
connective tissues of the body and the connective tissue framework of glands.
Some mesenchyme forms mesoblast (undifferentiated mesoderm), which forms the
intraembryonic, or embryonic, mesoderm .
Cells from the epiblast ,the primitive node and other parts of the primitive streak displace
the hypoblast, forming the embryonic endoderm in the roof of the umbilical vesicle.
The cells remaining in the epiblast form the embryonic ectoderm.
• Mesenchymal cells (pluripotential cells) derived from the
primitive streak migrate widely and proliferate and differentiate
into diverse types of cells, such as
fibroblasts,
chondroblasts, and
osteoblasts .
• In summary, cells of the epiblast, through the process of
gastrulation, give rise to all three germ layers in the embryo, the
primordia of all its tissues and organs.
Fate of the Primitive Streak
• The primitive streak actively forms mesoderm by the ingression
of cells until the early part of the fourth week; thereafter,
production of mesoderm slows down.
• The primitive streak diminishes in relative size and becomes an
insignificant structure in the sacrococcygeal region of the
embryo.
• Normally the primitive streak undergoes degenerative changes
and disappears by the end of the fourth week.

NOTOCHORDAL PROCESS AND NOTOCHORD
• Prechordal mesoderm(b/n PP &NP) - essential in
forebrain and eye induction.
• The prechordal plate have a role as a signaling
center for controlling development of cranial
structures.
Function of The notochord
1. Defines the primordial longitudinal axis of the embryo
and gives it some rigidity
2. Provides signals that are necessary for the
development of axial musculoskeletal structures and
the central nervous system
3. Contributes to the intervertebral discs
4. Degenerates as the bodies of the vertebrae form, but
small portions of it persist as the nucleus pulposus of
each intervertebral disc.
5. The developing notochord induces the overlying
embryonic ectoderm to thicken and form the neural
plate, the primordium of the central nervous system
(CNS).

The paraxial mesoderm
Paraxial mesoderm is organized, cephalocaudally, into segments known as:
– Somitomeres: more loosely organized in the head region forming in association
with segmentation of the neural tube into neuromeres
– Somites: more compact and defined regions forming from the occipital region
caudally; first somite forms on the 20th day, and last pair at the end of the 5th
week
Somite period of
human development
About 38 pairs of somites form during the somite period of human development (days 20
to 30).
By the end of the fifth week, 42 to 44 pairs of somites are present
E21 days E22 days E24 days
By the end of the fifth week, 42 to 44 pairs of

disappear
Fate of the Somites
Each somite can be divided into two main portions: sclerotome and dermomyotome; it
also receives its own segmental nerve component
The sclerotome is the ventromedial portion of the somite which forms a loosely
organized tissue (the mesenchyme) and migrates around the notochord and spinal
cord, forming the vertebral column, in addition to forming tendons for its muscles

Lateral Plate
Mesoderm:
 spaces appear in it &
fuse forming a U-
shaped cavity
(intraembryonic
coelom), formed of 3
parts:
 2 longitudinal pleuro-
peritoneal canals: gives
2 pleural & 2
peritoneal cavities.
 A transverse cranial
part: gives pericardial
sac.
Lateral Plate Mesoderm
The lateral plate mesoderm is
divided into:
Parietal (somatic) layer facing the
ectoderm. Together they form the
intraembryonic somatopleure. it
gives the muscles and connective
tissue of the ventral & lateral body
wall
Visceral (splanchnic) layer facing
endoderm. Together they form the
intraembryonic splanchnopleure. It
gives the smooth muscles of the
viscera (gut).
The Cranial Part Of Intra-
embryonic Mesoderm
• The cardiogenic plate:
• Cranial to the oral membrane
a condensation of intra-
embryonic mesoderm is
present & called the
cardiogenic plate which will
give rise to the heart.
• The septum transversum:
• Cranial to the cardiogenic
plate, there is another mass
of intra-embryonic
mesoderm is called septum
transversum which forms the
future diaphragm.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTRAEMBRYONIC COELOM
-Intraembryonic coelom (cavity) --fusion of isolated coelomic spaces in the
lateral mesoderm and cardiogenic mesoderm into a horseshoe-shaped cavity.
-Lateral mesoderm divided into:
-A somatic or Parietal layer--together with extraembryonic mesoderm
covering amnion and ectoderm called somatopleure, embryonic body wall
(upper side)
-A splanchnic or Visceral layer--together with extraembryonic mesoderm
covering yolk sac and endoderm is called splanchnopleure, embryonic gut
wall (lower side)
-During the 2nd month, intraembryonic coelom is divided into 3 body cavities:
1. pericardial cavity
2. pleural cavities
3. peritoneal cavity
Dr: Azza ZAki
Differentiation Of The Endoderm
Differentiation Of The Endoderm
• 1-The Gut:
• The endoderm initially is a flat
layer of cells covering the
surface of the embryonic disc
that faces the yolk sac.
• With the formation of the head
& tail folds, parts of the yolk
sac become enclosed within
the embryo.
A tube lined by endoderm is
formed (primitive gut) from
which most of gastrointestinal
tract is formed.
The part of the gut cranial to
communication with the yolk
sac is called the foregut& the
part caudal to this
communication is called the
hindgut while the intervening
part is called the midgut.
The midgut is associated with
the yolk sac via the vitelline
duct.
Communication Of The Gut:
The mouth begins as a depression on the
surface ectoderm called stomodeum. This is
separated from the foregut by the
buccopharyngeal membrane which ruptures.
The proctodeum is a depression of the surface
ectoderm at the tail end of the embryo. This is
separated from the hindgut by the cloacal
membrane which ruptures.
Derivatives Of The Endoderm
 Epithelial lining of the
alimentary tract.
 Epithelium of the glands
develop from the
alimentary tract; the
thyroid, parathyroid,
liver& pancreas.
• The epithelium lining of
the respiratory tract
(trachea, bronchi &lung).
Derivatives Of The Endoderm
• Epithelial lining of the urinary bladder.
• Epithelial lining of the pharyngeotympanic tube
,tympanic cavity and mastoid antrum
• Tonsil.
EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
WHY early cardiovascular system ?
• The urgent need for blood vessels to bring
oxygen and nourishment to the embryo from
the maternal circulation through the placenta.
• During the third week, a primordial uteroplacental
circulation develops
EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Embryonic Nutrition
2nd week -maternal blood by
diffusion through the
extraembryonic coelom and
umbilical vesicle.
3rd week, vasculogenesis and
angiogenesis (Gr. angeion,
vessel + genesis, production),
or blood vessel formation,
begins in the extraembryonic
mesoderm of the umbilical
vesicle,
connecting stalk, and
chorion.
Vasculogenesis and
Angiogenesis
The formation of the
embryonic vascular
system involves two
processes:
1. Vasculogenesis is the
formation of new vascular
channels by assembly of
individual cell precursors
called angioblasts.
2. Angiogenesis is the
formation of new vessels
by budding and branching
from preexisting vessels.
Blood vessel formation
(vasculogenesis) in the embryo and
extraembryonic membranes during the
third week may be summarized as
follows
• The first blood islands appear in mesoderm
surrounding the wall of the yolk sac at 3 weeks
of development and slightly later in lateral plate
mesoderm and other regions
• These islands arise from mesoderm cells that
are induced to form hemangioblasts, a common
precursor for vessel and blood cell formation.
• Hemangioblasts in the center of blood islands
form hematopoietic stem cells, the precursors of
all blood cells, whereas peripheral
hemangioblasts differentiate into angioblasts,
the precursors to blood vessels. These
angioblasts proliferate and are eventually
induced to form endothelial cells .
441
Blood and Blood vessels
• Hemangioblasts- are
derived from
mesenchymal cells
• Central cells
become primitive
blood cells and
peripheral cells form
endothelial cells of
blood vessels
443
Hemangioblast
s
Angioblasts of
Hemangioblasts
444
• Mesenchymal cells (mesoderm
derived) differentiate into
endothelial cell precursors-
angioblasts (vessel-forming
cells), which aggregate to form
isolated angiogenic cell
clusters called blood islands,
• Small cavities appear within
the blood islands and
endothelial cords by
confluence of intercellular
clefts.
• Angioblasts flatten to form
endothelial cells that arrange
themselves around the cavities
in the blood island to form the
endothelium.
• These endothelium-lined
cavities soon fuse to form
networks of endothelial
channels (vasculogenesis).
• Vessels sprout into adjacent
areas by endothelial budding
and fuse with other vessels.
Angiogenesis
• Once the process of vasculogenesis establishes
a primary vascular bed, which includes the
dorsal aorta and cardinal veins, additional
vasculature is added by angiogenesis, the
sprouting of new vessels
Angiogenesis
Embryonic vessels first form mainly in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros area; then in the
liver; then the definitive hematopoietic area, the bone marrow
The Primitive Circulation
The heart begins beating at the beginning of the forth week; the cardiovascular system is the
first functional system to develop
Hematopoietic stem cells of
Hemangioblasts
Central cells
452
• Cavities appear within the blood island; central
cells become hematopoietic stem cells (the
ancestor of all types of blood cells)

As mentioned, the first blood cells
arise in the blood islands of the
yolk sac, but this population is
transitory.
455
Definitive blood cells
456
• The definitive hematopoietic stem cells arise
from mesoderm surrounding the aorta in a site
called the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region
(AGM).
• These cells will colonize the liver, which
becomes the major hematopoietic organ of the
fetus. Later, stem cells from the liver will colonize
the bone marrow, the definitive blood-forming
tissue.

• The cardiovascular system is the first organ
system to reach a functional state.
• The embryonic heartbeat can be detected
using Doppler ultrasonography during the
fifth week, approximately 7 weeks after the
last normal menstrual period.
DEVELOPMENT OF CHORIONIC VILLI
• Shortly after primary
chorionic villi appear at the
end of the second week, they
begin to branch.
• Early in the third week,
mesenchyme grows into these
primary villi, forming a core of
mesenchymal tissue. The villi
at this stage-secondary
chorionic villi-cover the entire
surface of the chorionic sac

• Some mesenchymal cells in the villi soon
differentiate into capillaries and blood cells.
• They are called tertiary chorionic villi when
blood vessels are visible in them. The
capillaries in the chorionic villi fuse to form
arteriocapillary networks, which soon become
connected with the embryonic heart through
vessels that differentiate in the mesenchyme of
the chorion and connecting stalk.
• Capillaries in tertiary villi make contact with capillaries developing in
mesoderm of the chorionic plate and in the connecting stalk .
• These vessels, in turn, establish contact with the intraembryonic
circulatory system, connecting the placenta and the embryo.
• Hence, when the heart begins to beat in the fourth week of
development, the villous system is ready to supply the embryo proper
with essential nutrients and oxygen.
• By the end of the third week, embryonic blood
begins to flow slowly through the capillaries in
the chorionic villi.
• Oxygen and nutrients in the maternal blood in
the intervillous space diffuse through the walls
of the villi and enter the embryo's blood. Carbon
dioxide and waste products diffuse from blood
in the fetal capillaries through the wall of the
chorionic villi into the maternal blood.
cytotrophoblastic cells
cytotrophoblastic shell, which gradually
surrounds the chorionic sac and attaches it
to the endometrium. Villi that attach to the
maternal tissues through the
cytotrophoblastic shell are
stem chorionic villi (anchoring villi).
Those that branch from the sides of stem villi
are free (terminal) villi, through which
exchange of nutrients and other factors will
occur
• The villi that grow from the sides of the
stem villi are branch chorionic villi
(terminal villi). It is through the walls of the
branch villi that the main exchange of
material between the blood of the mother
and the embryo takes place. The branch
villi are bathed in continually changing
maternal blood in the intervillous space.

  • 9. 9 He who sees things grow from the beginning will have the finest view of them. Aristotle, 384-322 BC
  • 10. Developmental Periods Divide Prenatal (before birth) and Postnatal (after birth) periods 10
  • 12. Embryology  Embryology : – is the science which deals with the prenatal stage i.e. the intrauterine development of the human body till birth. 12
  • 13. Teratology • (Gr. teratos, monster) • Is the division of embryology and pathology that deals with abnormal development (birth defects). • This branch of embryology is concerned with various genetic and/or environmental factors that disturb normal development and produce birth defects 13
  • 14. Embryology 1.Prenatal period : a) Germinal period  Is the period from fertilization till formation of germ disk.  Its duration is about (18-21) days .  Safe period (non – sensitive to teratogenic agents ). 14
  • 15. Embryology 1.Prenatal period : b) Embryonic period • is the period formation of germ disk till organogenesis . • its duration is from 4th week to 8th week . • Risk period (sensitive to teratogenic agents ). 15
  • 16. Embryology 1. Prenatal period : C) Fetal period • is the period from organogenesis till birth. • during this period there are :- – Rapid body and organ growth . – The brain , ear , eyes , teeth , adrenal glands , the external genitalia continue development in this period . – There is a relative reduction of head growth compared to body growth . • less-safe period (less sensitive to teratogenic agents ) 16
  • 17. Developmental period 2. Postnatal period (new born / off spring /neonate ): The changes occurring in the body after birth . 3. Gerology: The changes of body of old ages : 17
  • 19. • A human being is formed of trillions of cells; these cells are of two types: A. Somatic cells- which are present in the whole tissues of the body B. Gametes which are the sperms and ova 19
  • 20. A. Somatic cell • Each Som. C nucleus contain 46 chromosomes which are as follow • 22 pair of identical chromosome- autosomes • One pair of sex chromosomes which differ in the two sexes • 23,x 20
  • 21. • The two chromosomes in each pair are called homologous chromosome • One is inherited from the mother and the other is from the father • Somatic cells are described as Diploid because their chromosomes are in homologus pair 21
  • 22. Female somatic cell • The pair of sex chromosomes are identical and are called XX chromosomes. 22
  • 23. Male somatic cells • The pair of sex chromosomes are quit different • One being long and is known as X chromosome • The other is much smaller and is known as Y 23
  • 24. Homologous Chromosomes • Pair of chromosomes (maternal and paternal) that are similar in shape and size. • Homologous pairs (tetrads) carry genes controlling the same inherited traits. • Each locus (position of a gene) is in the same position on homologues. • Humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. 22 pairs of autosomes 1 pair of sex chromosomes
  • 25. Homologous Chromosomes (because a homologous pair consists of 4 chromatids it is called a “Tetrad”) Paternal Maternal eye color locus eye color locus hair color locus hair color locus
  • 26. Humans have 23 Sets of Homologous Chromosomes Each Homologous set is made up of 2 Homologues. Homologue Homologue
  • 27. Autosomes (The Autosomes code for most of the offspring’s traits) In Humans the “Autosomes ” are sets 1 - 22
  • 28. Sex Chromosomes The Sex Chromosomes code for the sex of the offspring. ** If the offspring has two “X” chromosomes it will be a female. ** If the offspring has one “X” chromosome and one “Y” chromosome it will be a male. XX chromosome - female XY chromosome - male In Humans the “Sex Chromosomes” are the 23rd set
  • 29. Gamete (ovum or sperm) • Germ cell beyond a certain stage of development are haploid. • At fertilization one set of paternal (sperm) chromosomes unites with one set of maternal(egg) chromosomes, restoring the somatic cells that arise from it 29
  • 30. • Although the two chromosomes of a homologous pair appear to be identical, they come from different parents and therefore are not genetically identical. 30
  • 31. Sex Chromosomes The Sex Chromosomes code for the sex of the offspring. ** If the offspring has two “X” chromosomes it will be a female. ** If the offspring has one “X” chromosome and one “Y” chromosome it will be a male. XX chromosome - female XY chromosome - male In Humans the “Sex Chromosomes” are the 23rd set
  • 32. Sex Chromosomes “Sex Chromosomes” …….the 23rd set 23 This person has 2 “X” chromosomes… and is a female.

  • 34. Organization of the chromatin A human cell usually has 46 molecules of DNA with an average length of 44mm(total slightly over 2m) 34
  • 35. • To put this in perspective, if a DNA molecule were the thickness of a telephone pole, it would reach about 4,400km into space-far higher than the orbits of satellites and spece shuttles. 35
  • 36. • Imagine trying to make a pole 20cm thick and 4,400km long without breaking it!. The problem for a cell is even greater. 36

  • 39. 3 Types of Cell Division • Amitosi- direct cell division-lower animal • Mitosis – ordinary somatic cell division – 2 daughter cells with identical chromosomes and genes to parents – Diploid cells – 2n chromosome complement • Meiosis – germline cell division – Results in formation of gametes – cells with only 23 chromosomes – Haploid cells – n chromosome complement 39
  • 40. Mitosis • The somatic cells start their life as daughter cells after mitotic cell division. They then perform their specific functions till they divided again • An indirect cell division involving four phases prophase Metaphase Anaphase and Telophase followed by Interphase 40
  • 41. INTERPHASE • The cell prepare itself for mitosis. • Nuclear membrane and nucleolus are very distinct. • Chromosomes appear like threads or filaments (chromatids). • Divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap) 41
  • 42. Phases of Interphase • G1 (gap 1) – cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles • S (synthesis) – replication of the chromosomes • G2 (gap 2) – cell continue to grow and further protein synthesis occur 42
  • 43. Cell Cycle of a Somatic Cell 1. Interphase 1. G1 2. S 3. G2 G1 + S + G2 phases = 16-24 h 2. Mitosis 43
  • 44. The Cell Cycle G1 – Gap 1 (Lasts hours, days or years) – cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles – Occurs after mitosis and before S phase 44 end cells
  • 45. The Cell Cycle • G0 phase Some cells may leave G1 stage permanently to perform their specialized functions, these cells are then called end cells – Resting stage/quiescent stage – Neurons, RBCs arrested in G1 = G0 phase – permanent G1 phase – Liver cells enter G0 but on damage  G1 and cell cycle continues 45
  • 46. The Cell Cycle S phase – Stage of DNA synthesis – Each chromosome replicates  bipartite chromosome made up of sister chromatids – End of each chromatid marked by telomeres – specialized DNA sequences that ensure integrity of chromosomes during division – Sister chromatids held together at centromere – region of DNA associated with kinetochore – Provide a binding site for microtubules – DNA replication happens at thousands of origins of DNA replication – replication of the chromosomes 46
  • 47. The Cell Cycle G2 phase – Gap 2 – A very short period – The cell is preparing for mitosis – Cell’s DNA doubled in S phase – Brief stage – cell continue to grow and further protein synthesis occur 47
  • 48. Figure 17-31 Molecular Biology of the Cell (© Garland Science 2008) Centriole Replication • At a certain point in G1, the two centrioles of the pair separate. • During S phase, a daughter centriole begins to grow near the base of each mother centriole and at a right angle to it. • The elongation of the daughter centriole is usually completed by G2 48 centrosome
  • 49. Mitosis • Mitosis: shortest of 4 stages • Important component: chromosomal segregation – process of distributing copy of each chromosome to each daughter cell • 5 stages: 1. Prophase 2. Prometaphase 3. Metaphase 4. Anaphase 5. Telophase 49
  • 50. Mitosis is subdivided into prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase • Prophase: Condensed chromosome start to become visible, Centrosomes start moving apart, Nucleolus starts disappearing • Prometaphase: Nuclear membrane breaks down • Metaphase: Chromosomes maximally condensed and align at the metaphase plate • Anaphase: The two sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles • Telophase: nucleus reassembly occurs, cytokinesis occurs 50
  • 51. 51
  • 52. Prophase • Condensation of chromosomes • Disintegration and disappearance of nucleolus • Formation of mitotic spindle – microtubule network 52 Prometaphase n Nuclear membrane breaks up n Congression occurs – chromosomes move to point midway between spindle poles n Condensation of chromosomes continue
  • 53. Metaphase • Maximum condensation of chromosomes reached • Arranged at equatorial plane of cell • Balanced forces of microtubules from opposite poles at kinetochores 53
  • 54. Anaphase • Begins when sister chromatids separate • Sister chromatids separate into daughter chromosomes • Daughter chromosomes move to opposite poles 54
  • 55. Telophase and Cytokinesis • Telophase – Chromosomes decondense – Nuclear membrane reforms • Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm – Cleavage begins as a slight indentation in cell surface deepens into a cleavage furrow. – Actin contractile ring and myosin motors drive the process – Cytoplasm cleaves separating daughter cells • Larger organelles, such as ER and Golgi, tend to fragment into small vesicles early in mitosis and then reassemble in daughter cells 55
  • 56. Function of mitosis • Formation of a multicellular embryo from a fertilized egg • Tissue growth • Replacement of old and dead cells and • Repair of injured tissue • Egg and sperm are produced by a combination of mitosis and meiosis 56

  • 60. What if for gametogenesis • Sexual reproduction- bi-parental • If make a child-combined gamet • There must be a mechanism Keep chromosome number constant from generation to generation • 46 sperm chromosome 46 egg chro= 92+92=184 and forth 60
  • 61. What if for gametogenesis • To prevent the chromosome number from doubling in every generation, the number is reduced by half during gametogenesis. 61
  • 62. Meiosis • One round of DNA synthesis  2 rounds of chromosomal segregation – Meiosis I – reduction division – chromosome no. goes from diploid  haploid • Meiotic crossing over or recombination also occurs here: homologous segments of DNA exchanged between nonsister chromatids of pair of homologous chromosomes • Recombination important also for chromosome segregation – Meiosis II – like mitosis without a preceding DNA replication stage • Sister chromatids separate 62
  • 63. Meiosis • Meiosis can convert one diploid cell into four haploid cells – Meiosis I: the first meiotic division – Homologous pairs join together to form a bivalent • Meiosis I produces two haploid cells that have chromosomes composed of sister chromatids – Unlike mitosis, in meiosis I, sister chromatids stay together. – Thus, the cells at the end of meiosis I are considered haploid because it contains only one of the two chromosomes of each bivalent – Genetic recombination 63
  • 64. Meiosis I • Prophase I: Homologous chromosomes become paired and exchange DNA – Divided into 5 stages – Formation of synaptonemal complex and crossing-over occurs • Metaphase I: Bivalents align at the spindle equator – The kinetochores of sister chromatids lie side by side and face the same pole of the cell – Random orientation of maternal or paternal chromosomes – Chromosomes held together by chiasmata • Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes move to opposite spindle poles • Telophase I and cytokinesis: Two haploid cells are produced 64
  • 65. 65
  • 66. Prophase I • Leptotene – chromatin begin to condense, 2 sister chromatids so close, cannot be distinguished • Zygotene – Homologs pair along entire length – synapsis – Chromosomes held together by synaptonemal complex • Pachytene – Synapsis complete, chromosome more tightly coiled – Chromosome appear bivalent – tetrad formation – Recombination takes place • Diplotene – Synaptonemal complex disappears – Bivalents begin to separate but held together at centromeres a– chiasmata • Diakinesis – stage of max condensation 66
  • 67. 67
  • 68. • The lateral elements of the synaptonemal complex start to attach to individual chromosomes during leptotene • The central element, which actually joins homologous chromosomes, does not form until zygotene • The formation of the synaptonemal complex is essential for recombination and for preventing aneuploidy 68
  • 70. Anaphase I • Disjunction occurs – members of each bivalent move apart – HOMOLOGS (and usually alleles) SEPARATE!!! • Maternal and paternal chromosomes sort independently  223 combinations 70 Metaphase I n Nuclear membrane disappears n Spindle forms n Bivalents align at equator
  • 71. Telophase I & Cytokinesis • Telophase I – 2 chromosome sets groups at opposite poles • Cytokinesis – cell divides into daughter cells  enter meiotic interphase (no DNA synthesis) – Spermatogenesis: equal – Oogenesis: secondary oocyte receives most cytoplasm, other cell  1st polar body 71
  • 72. Meiosis II • Meiosis II resemble a mitotic division • Prophase II is very brief • Metaphase II – Kinetochores of sister chromatids now face in opposite directions • Anaphase II – Sister chromatids separate 72
  • 73. Genetic Consequences of Meiosis • At the end of meiosis II there are four daughter cells, each containing a haploid set of chromosome – Reduction of chromosome number • Segregation of alleles • Random assortment of the homologues (law of independent assortment) – Meiosis generates genetic diversity – Over 8 million different combinations of chromosomes • Addition shuffling by crossing over • Nondisjunction refers to the failure of the two members of a homologous chromosome pair to separate during anaphase – Leads to aneuploidy diseases (trisomy 21-Down syndrome) 73
  • 74. Comparison of Mitosis with Meiosis 74

  • 86. Male genital system  Notes: Primordial germ cells (PGC): They are originated from the wall of the yolk sac at the end of 3rd week of embryonic development. These cells migrate by amoeboid movement from the yolk sac toward the developing gonads (primitive sex glands), where they arrive at the end of 4th week and invading the genital ridges in 6th week of development. PGC influence of development of the gonads into testes or ovaries . 86

  • 90. Spermatogenesis • Spermatogonia, which have been dormant in the seminiferous tubules of the testes since the fetal period, begin to increase in number at puberty. • After several mitotic divisions, the spermatogonia grow and undergo changes producing successive generations of cells . 90
  • 91. Spermatogenesis • The newly formed cells can follow one of two paths: they can continue dividing as stem cells, also called type A spermatogonia, or they can differentiate during progressive mitotic cycles to become type B spermatogonia. 91
  • 92. Spermatogenesis • Type B spermatogonia are progenitor cells that will differentiate into primary spermatocytes . • The primary spermatocyte has 46 (44 + XY) chromosomes and 4N of DNA. (N denotes either the haploid set of chromosomes [23 chromosomes in humans] or the amount of DNA in this set.) 92
  • 93. Spermatogenesis • Soon after their formation, these cells enter the prophase of the first meiotic division. Because this prophase takes about 22 days, the majority of spermatocytes seen in sections will be in this phase. 93
  • 94. Spermatogenesis • Each primary spermatocyte subsequently undergoes a reduction division-the first meiotic division-to form two haploid secondary spermatocytes, which are approximately half the size of primary spermatocytes. 94
  • 95. • Subsequently, the secondary spermatocytes undergo a second meiotic division to form four haploid spermatids, which are approximately half the size of secondary spermatocytes. 95
  • 96. • The meiotic process therefore results in the formation of cells with a haploid number of chromosomes. • With fertilization, the normal diploid number is again attained. 96

This can cause a potential delay in transportation of the fertilized ovum to the uterus. Then trophoblastic tissue is present on the blastocyst before it reaches the uterine cavity, and therefore the trophoblastic tissue implants itself on the wall of the fallopian tube. 301

  • 323.
  • 324. Shortly after the primitive streak appears, cells leave its deep surface and form mesenchyme, Mesenchyme is a tissue consisting of loosely arranged cells suspended in a gelatinous matrix. Mesenchymal cells are ameboid and actively phagocytic . Mesenchyme forms the supporting tissues of the embryo, such as most of the connective tissues of the body and the connective tissue framework of glands. Some mesenchyme forms mesoblast (undifferentiated mesoderm), which forms the intraembryonic, or embryonic, mesoderm . Cells from the epiblast ,the primitive node and other parts of the primitive streak displace the hypoblast, forming the embryonic endoderm in the roof of the umbilical vesicle. The cells remaining in the epiblast form the embryonic ectoderm.
  • 325. • Mesenchymal cells (pluripotential cells) derived from the primitive streak migrate widely and proliferate and differentiate into diverse types of cells, such as fibroblasts, chondroblasts, and osteoblasts . • In summary, cells of the epiblast, through the process of gastrulation, give rise to all three germ layers in the embryo, the primordia of all its tissues and organs.
  • 326. Fate of the Primitive Streak • The primitive streak actively forms mesoderm by the ingression of cells until the early part of the fourth week; thereafter, production of mesoderm slows down. • The primitive streak diminishes in relative size and becomes an insignificant structure in the sacrococcygeal region of the embryo. • Normally the primitive streak undergoes degenerative changes and disappears by the end of the fourth week.

  • 386. Differentiation Of The Endoderm • 1-The Gut: • The endoderm initially is a flat layer of cells covering the surface of the embryonic disc that faces the yolk sac. • With the formation of the head & tail folds, parts of the yolk sac become enclosed within the embryo. A tube lined by endoderm is formed (primitive gut) from which most of gastrointestinal tract is formed.
  • 387. The part of the gut cranial to communication with the yolk sac is called the foregut& the part caudal to this communication is called the hindgut while the intervening part is called the midgut. The midgut is associated with the yolk sac via the vitelline duct.
  • 388. Communication Of The Gut: The mouth begins as a depression on the surface ectoderm called stomodeum. This is separated from the foregut by the buccopharyngeal membrane which ruptures. The proctodeum is a depression of the surface ectoderm at the tail end of the embryo. This is separated from the hindgut by the cloacal membrane which ruptures.

  • 391. EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
  • 392. WHY early cardiovascular system ? • The urgent need for blood vessels to bring oxygen and nourishment to the embryo from the maternal circulation through the placenta. • During the third week, a primordial uteroplacental circulation develops
  • 393. EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Embryonic Nutrition 2nd week -maternal blood by diffusion through the extraembryonic coelom and umbilical vesicle. 3rd week, vasculogenesis and angiogenesis (Gr. angeion, vessel + genesis, production), or blood vessel formation, begins in the extraembryonic mesoderm of the umbilical vesicle, connecting stalk, and chorion.
  • 394.
  • 395. Vasculogenesis and Angiogenesis The formation of the embryonic vascular system involves two processes: 1. Vasculogenesis is the formation of new vascular channels by assembly of individual cell precursors called angioblasts. 2. Angiogenesis is the formation of new vessels by budding and branching from preexisting vessels.
  • 396. Blood vessel formation (vasculogenesis) in the embryo and extraembryonic membranes during the third week may be summarized as follows
  • 397. • The first blood islands appear in mesoderm surrounding the wall of the yolk sac at 3 weeks of development and slightly later in lateral plate mesoderm and other regions
  • 398.
  • 399. • These islands arise from mesoderm cells that are induced to form hemangioblasts, a common precursor for vessel and blood cell formation. • Hemangioblasts in the center of blood islands form hematopoietic stem cells, the precursors of all blood cells, whereas peripheral hemangioblasts differentiate into angioblasts, the precursors to blood vessels. These angioblasts proliferate and are eventually induced to form endothelial cells .
  • 400. 441
  • 401. Blood and Blood vessels • Hemangioblasts- are derived from mesenchymal cells • Central cells become primitive blood cells and peripheral cells form endothelial cells of blood vessels
  • 404. • Mesenchymal cells (mesoderm derived) differentiate into endothelial cell precursors- angioblasts (vessel-forming cells), which aggregate to form isolated angiogenic cell clusters called blood islands, • Small cavities appear within the blood islands and endothelial cords by confluence of intercellular clefts.
  • 405. • Angioblasts flatten to form endothelial cells that arrange themselves around the cavities in the blood island to form the endothelium. • These endothelium-lined cavities soon fuse to form networks of endothelial channels (vasculogenesis). • Vessels sprout into adjacent areas by endothelial budding and fuse with other vessels.
  • 406. Angiogenesis • Once the process of vasculogenesis establishes a primary vascular bed, which includes the dorsal aorta and cardinal veins, additional vasculature is added by angiogenesis, the sprouting of new vessels
  • 407.
  • 409. Embryonic vessels first form mainly in the aorta-gonad-mesonephros area; then in the liver; then the definitive hematopoietic area, the bone marrow
  • 410. The Primitive Circulation The heart begins beating at the beginning of the forth week; the cardiovascular system is the first functional system to develop
  • 411. Hematopoietic stem cells of Hemangioblasts Central cells 452
  • 412. • Cavities appear within the blood island; central cells become hematopoietic stem cells (the ancestor of all types of blood cells) 453
  • 414. Transitory As mentioned, the first blood cells arise in the blood islands of the yolk sac, but this population is transitory. 455
  • 416. • The definitive hematopoietic stem cells arise from mesoderm surrounding the aorta in a site called the aorta-gonad-mesonephros region (AGM). • These cells will colonize the liver, which becomes the major hematopoietic organ of the fetus. Later, stem cells from the liver will colonize the bone marrow, the definitive blood-forming tissue. 457

  • 425. • The embryonic heartbeat can be detected using Doppler ultrasonography during the fifth week, approximately 7 weeks after the last normal menstrual period.
  • 426. DEVELOPMENT OF CHORIONIC VILLI • Shortly after primary chorionic villi appear at the end of the second week, they begin to branch. • Early in the third week, mesenchyme grows into these primary villi, forming a core of mesenchymal tissue. The villi at this stage-secondary chorionic villi-cover the entire surface of the chorionic sac

  • 429. • Some mesenchymal cells in the villi soon differentiate into capillaries and blood cells. • They are called tertiary chorionic villi when blood vessels are visible in them. The capillaries in the chorionic villi fuse to form arteriocapillary networks, which soon become connected with the embryonic heart through vessels that differentiate in the mesenchyme of the chorion and connecting stalk.
  • 430. • Capillaries in tertiary villi make contact with capillaries developing in mesoderm of the chorionic plate and in the connecting stalk . • These vessels, in turn, establish contact with the intraembryonic circulatory system, connecting the placenta and the embryo. • Hence, when the heart begins to beat in the fourth week of development, the villous system is ready to supply the embryo proper with essential nutrients and oxygen.
  • 431.
  • 432. • By the end of the third week, embryonic blood begins to flow slowly through the capillaries in the chorionic villi. • Oxygen and nutrients in the maternal blood in the intervillous space diffuse through the walls of the villi and enter the embryo's blood. Carbon dioxide and waste products diffuse from blood in the fetal capillaries through the wall of the chorionic villi into the maternal blood.
  • 433. cytotrophoblastic cells cytotrophoblastic shell, which gradually surrounds the chorionic sac and attaches it to the endometrium. Villi that attach to the maternal tissues through the cytotrophoblastic shell are stem chorionic villi (anchoring villi). Those that branch from the sides of stem villi are free (terminal) villi, through which exchange of nutrients and other factors will occur
  • 434. • The villi that grow from the sides of the stem villi are branch chorionic villi (terminal villi). It is through the walls of the branch villi that the main exchange of material between the blood of the mother and the embryo takes place. The branch villi are bathed in continually changing maternal blood in the intervillous space.
