1. The document discusses the process of embryology from fertilization through the third week of development. It describes key stages including cleavage, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, and the formation of the three germ layers and early patterning centers.
2. During gastrulation, the bilaminar embryo is converted into a trilaminar embryo through the formation of the three germ layers - endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. Signaling centers such as the node and prechordal plate pattern the developing embryo.
3. Left-right patterning of the embryo is established at gastrulation through nodal cilia breaking symmetry and establishing Nodal
Growth of the fetus begins soon after fertilization, when the first cell division occurs.
Cell division, hypertrophy, and differentiation are highly coordinated events that result in the growth and development of specialized organ systems.
The fetus, fetal membranes, and placenta develop and function as a unit throughout pregnancy, and their development is interdependent or symbiotic.
The growth trajectory of fetal mass is relatively flat during the first trimester, increases linearly at the beginning of the second trimester, and rises rapidly during the third trimester.

The physiological processes that regulate parturition and the onset of labor continue to be defined. It is clear, however, that labor onset represents the culmination of a series of biochemical changes in the uterus and cervix. These result from endocrine and paracrine signals emanating from both mother and fetus.
The topic discussed here is the Process of fertilization, different stages of fertilization, Implantation, Gastrulation, Formation of foetal membranes, Development of Embryo, Labor & Parturition

USMLE GENERAL EMBRYOLOGY 008 First week of development A embryo .pdfAHMED ASHOUR
The initial week of embryonic development is a vital period commencing with fertilization, leading to the creation of the zygote and early cell divisions. It's noteworthy that, throughout this week, the developing embryo remains in the pre-implantation stage, journeying from the fallopian tube toward the uterus. Key events such as fertilization, cleavage, and the formation of the blastocyst are crucial for the embryo's early development.
These events lay the foundation for subsequent processes in the following weeks. The successful implantation of the blastocyst into the uterus marks the transition from the first week to the second week of embryonic development.
Anomalies of the first and second branchial archesDr Medical
https://userupload.net/8n9v7tg9jkl1
Anomalies of the branchial arches are the second most common congenital lesions of the head and neck in children [1]. They may present as cysts, sinus tracts, fistulae or cartilaginous remnants and present with typical clinical and radiological patterns dependent on which arch is involved. The course of a particular branchial anomaly is caudal to the structures derived from the corresponding arch and dorsal to the structures that develop from the following arch. Branchial anomalies are further typed into cysts, sinuses, and fistulas.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embryology01-FertilizationToGastrulation(1).ppt
1. Embryology
Textbook: Langmans’s Medical
Embryology, 11th ed.
When possible, lectures will be recorded
and there may be notes for some
lectures, but still NOT a substitute for
reading the text.
Completing assigned reading prior to
class is essential for sessions where a
READINESS ASSESSMENT is scheduled.
Overall goal: understand the fundamental processes by which the adult form is
produced and the clinical consequences that arise from abnormal development.
2. Follicle Maturation and Ovulation
Oocytes
~2 million at birth
~40,000 at puberty
~400 ovulated over lifetime
Leutinizing Hormone surge
(from pituitary gland)
causes changes in tissues
and within follicle:
• Swelling within follicle due to
increased hyaluronan
• Matrix metalloproteinases
degrade surrounding tissue
causing rupture of follicle
Egg and surrounding cells
(corona radiata) ejected into
peritoneum
Corona radiata provides bulk to
facilitate capture of egg.
4. Transport through the oviduct
At around the midpoint of the
menstrual cycle (~day 14), a
single egg is ovulated and
swept into the oviduct.
Fertilization usually occurs in
the ampulla of the oviduct
within 24 hrs. of ovulation.
Series of cleavage and
differentiation events results in
the formation of a blastocyst by
the 4th embryonic day.
Inner cell mass generates
embryonic tissues
Outer trophectoderm
generates placental tissues
Implantation into the uterine
wall occurs ~6th embryonic day
(day 20 of the menstrual cycle)
5. Embryologists
Fertilization age: moment of fertilization is dO
Division of pregnancy corresponding to development:
0-3 weeks –early development
3-8 weeks –embryonic period (organogenesis)
8 wks-term –fetal period
Total gestation time = 38 weeks
Clinicians
Menstrual age: last menses is dO
Division of pregnancy into trimesters
Total gestation time = 40 weeks
Timing of
pregnancy
6. 1. Acrosome Rx
sperm bind to ZP proteins in the
zona pellucida; this initiates the
release of enzymes from the
sperm allowing it to burrow
through the zona pellucida.
2. Zona Rx
binding of the sperm and egg
plasma membranes initiates Ca+
influx into the egg and release of
cortical granules from the egg
that block other sperm from
fertilizing the egg.
Fertilization is a multi-step process whereby multiple sperm bind to the
corona radiata, but only a single sperm usually fertilizes the egg
7. This so-called cortical reaction prevents other sperm
from fertilizing the egg (aka “polyspermy”)
Cortical granule
enzymes digest ZP
proteins so other sperm
can no longer bind.
Hyaluronic acid and
other proteoglycans are
also released that
become hydrated and
swell, thus pushing the
other sperm away.
8. Meiosis II complete
Formation of male and
female pronuclei
Decondensation of male
chromosomes
Fusion of pronuclei
Zygote
Fertilization
9. Week 1: days 1-6
• Fertilization, day 1
• Cleavage, day 2-3
• Compaction, day 3
• Formation of blastocyst, day 4
• Ends with implantation, day 6
11. Cleavage
Cleavage = cell division
Goals: grow unicellular
zygote to multicellular embryo.
Divisions are slow: 12 - 24h ea
No growth of the embryo-
stays at ~100 um in diameter
Divisions are not synchronous
Cleavage begins about 24h after
pronuclear fusion
15. Embryo undergoes compaction after 8-cell stage:
first differentiation of embryonic lineages
Caused by increased cell-cell adhesion
Cells that are forced to the outside of the morula are destined
to become trophoblast--cells that will form placenta
The inner cells will form the embryo proper and are called
the inner cell mass (ICM).
16. Formation of the blastocyst
Sodium channels appear on the surface of the outer trophoblast cells;
sodium and water are pumped into the forming blastocoele. Note that
the embryo is still contained in the zona pellucida.
20. “Hatching” of the blastocyst:
preparation for implantation
Hatching of the embryo from the zona pellucida occurs just
prior to implantation. Occasionally, the inability to hatch
results in infertility, and premature hatching can result in abnormal
implantation in the uterine tube.
23. Week 2: days 7-14
implantation
• Implanted embryo becomes more deeply
embedded in endometrium
• Further development of trophoblast into
placenta
• Development of a bi-laminar embryo,
amniotic cavity, and yolk sac.
24. Implantation and placentation (day 8)
Trophoblast further differentiates and invades maternal tissues
– Cytotrophoblast: stem cell population
– Syncytiotrophoblast: invasive fused cells (syncytium) derived from cytotrophoblast
– Breaks maternal capillaries, trophoblastic lacunae fill with maternal blood
Inner cell mass divides into epiblast and hypoblast:
– Epiblast contributes to forming the overlying amniotic membrane and amniotic cavity
– Hypoblast contributes to forming the underlying yolk sac.
25. Implantation and placentation (day 9)
Trophoblast further differentiates and invades maternal tissues
– Cytotrophoblast: stem cell population
– Syncytiotrophoblast: invasive fused cells (syncytium) derived from cytotrophoblast
– Breaks maternal capillaries, trophoblastic lacunae fill with maternal blood
Inner cell mass divides into epiblast and hypoblast:
– Epiblast contributes to forming the overlying amniotic membrane and amniotic cavity
– Hypoblast contributes to forming the underlying yolk sac.
26. Implantation and placentation (day 12)
Trophoblast further differentiates and invades maternal tissues
– Cytotrophoblast: stem cell population
– Syncytiotrophoblast: invasive fused cells (syncytium) derived from cytotrophoblast
– Breaks maternal capillaries, trophoblastic lacunae fill with maternal blood
Inner cell mass divides into epiblast and hypoblast:
– Epiblast contributes to forming the overlying amniotic membrane and amniotic cavity
– Hypoblast contributes to forming the underlying yolk sac.
27. Implantation and placentation (day 13)
Trophoblast further
differentiates and invades
maternal tissues
– Cytotrophoblast: stem cell
population
– Syncytiotrophoblast: invasive
fused cells (syncytium) derived
from cytotrophoblast
– Breaks maternal capillaries,
trophoblastic lacunae fill with
maternal blood
Inner cell mass divides into
epiblast and hypoblast:
– Epiblast contributes to forming
the overlying amniotic
membrane and amniotic cavity
– Hypoblast contributes to
forming the underlying yolk sac.
28. Week 3: Days 14-21
• Two layer germ disc
• Primitive streak forms
• Gastrulation forms tri-laminar embryo
• Neural induction
• Left-right asymmetry
• 0.4mm - 2.0mm
29.
30. Gastrulation
At gastrulation the two layered epiblast is converted
into the three primary embryonic germ layers:
– Ectoderm: outside, surrounds other layers later in
development, generates skin and nervous tissue
– Mesoderm: middle layer, generates most of the
muscle, blood and connective tissues of the body and
placenta
– Endoderm: eventually most interior of embryo,
generates the epithelial lining and associated glands
of the gut, lung, and urogenital tracts
34. Axial mesoderm: passes
through the node and migrates along
the midline –forms the notochord
Paraxial mesoderm: passes
just caudal to the node and migrates
slightly laterally –forms cartilage,
skeletal muscle, and dermis
Lateral plate mesoderm:
passes more caudal and migrates
more laterally –forms circulatory
system and body cavity linings.
Extraembryonic mesoderm:
passes most caudal and migrates
most laterally –forms extraembryonic
membranes and associated
connective tissue & blood vessels.
Mesoderm is patterned in a cranial to caudal gradient
35. The notochord and pre-chordal plate develops from mesoderm arising from cells that passed
directly through the node and migrated cranially along the midline
The notochord and pre-chordal plate are important signaling centers that pattern the
overlying ectoderm and underlying endoderm.
Fate of the “axial” mesoderm
36. Major signaling centers at gastrulation:
the node and the anterior visceral endoderm (AVE)
• Primitive node positions primitive streak for gastrulation, induces neural differentiation
• AVE from primitive endoderm secretes factors that position primitive streak in posterior, induce head
formation
39. Left-Right asymmetry is established at
gastrulation
Leftward beating of cilia at node moves
secreted molecules sonic hedgehog (Shh)
& FGF-8 to the left side of embryo.
Causes left side genes Nodal and Pitx2 to
be expressed which then pattern
developing organs.
If cilia are defective, Shh and Fgf8 can
randomly end up on right side, resulting in
reversal of symmetry, aka situs inversus
(liver on the left, spleen on the right, etc.)
Situs can be complete (everything
reversed) or partial (only some organs
reversed).
41. What happens if there is “not enough” gastrulation?
Caudal agenesis (sirenomelia)
Premature regression of the primitive streak leads to widespread loss of
trunk and lower limb mesoderm.
VATeR association:
Vertebral defects
Anal atresia
Tracheo-esophageal fistula
Renal defects
VACTeRL association:
those above plus…
Cardiovascular defects
Limb (upper) defects
42. If the primitive streak fails to regress, multipotent primitive streak cells can develop into
multi-lineage tumors (containing ecto-, meso-, and endodermal tissues).
What happens if there is “too much” gastrulation?
Sacrococcygeal teratoma
