-
-An ovum, an unfertilized female gamete, is released from the ovary and begins to travel down the fallopian tube.
-A sperm cell meets the ovum and penetrates it, which fertilizes the cell and makes it an egg.
-The nucleus of the sperm cell combines with the egg becoming a single cell or a zygote.
-The zygote begins to divide into many cells while traveling down the fallopian tube, also known as mitosis. Once the division is complete the zygote is now known as a blastocyst. -
-Begins when blastocyst implants itself into uterine wall.
-Formation of 3 cell layer*
-Nervous system develops
-Most organs begin to develop -
-Blastocyst makes it to the uterus and out of the fallopian tube.
-Implants itself into the uterine wall lining
-Implanted blastocyst grows by increased proliferation
-Increased number of embryonic cells = emryonic cell layers
-Bilaminar ebryonic disc has superior (epiblast) and inferior (hypoblast) layers -
-Primitive streak forms
-Embryonic cell forms into three layers
-Endoderm (inner layer)
-develops into cells of most internal glands and organs
- Mesoderm (middle layer)
-develops into bones and muscle cells
-Ectoderm (outer layer)
-develops into skin and nerve cells
-Neural tube formation and development of blood circulation begin
-Cell now has cephalic (head) and caudal (tail) end
-CNS begins to form
-Neural groove begins to form and is protected by neural folds -
-Embryo undergoes emryonic folding
-Face and neck begins to form
-Eyes, nose, oral cavity (stodum), and jaw area is visible
-two mandibular processes are forming
-forms the mandibular arch -
-Intermaxillary Segment forms
-Gives rise to the primary palate -
-Formation of tongue is complete
-Extimesenchyme -
-Bilateral maxillary gives rise to two palatal shelves forming the
-Tongue begins to form on the floor of the primitive pharynx
-Maxillary process fuses with medial nasal process
-Dental Lamina (week 7) -
-Tooth germ
-Dental sac
-morphogenesis -
-Outer and inner enamk epithelium forms
-Stellate reticulum forms
-Stratum untermedium forms -
- All three processes fuse to form the final palate -odontoblast and dentin matrix
