Gastrulation is one of the most important phases in the life of multicellular organisms. Blastula, a single layered cell structure converts into trilaminar structure with three layers, known as gastrula. The word ‘gastrula’ means stomach, since stomach (archenteron) is the first thing formed during gastrulation. There are basically three main events that occur during gastrulation. These are as follows; 1. Formation of three primary germ layers. 2. Basic body plan and body axes are established. Three
Order Monotremata: The defenition of a monotreme is an unusual mammal that lays eggs instead of giving birth to live babies. A few examples are the echidna and the platypus. Their skulls have certain features that resemble reptiles. They have three bodily systems, they have the digestive system, urinary system, and reproductive system. These systems all end up in the same chamber for monotremes called the cloaca. Cloaca means “one hole’’ so it fits perfectly with the monotremes situation. After
has successfully identified a morphologically distinct cluster of mesodermal cell located in dorsal lip of blastophore known as ‘organizer’ which has the potential in neural induction. BMP will trigger neural induction and are formed during the gastrulation in vertebrate embryo which is secreted by ventral gastrula signalling centre (Spermann H, Mangold H, 1924). In a normal mechanism BMP binds with receptor on ectoderm cell to form epidermis. However, by inhibiting BMP, ectoderm cells will differentiate

The unborn entity surviving inside the mother’s womb is a complete human being and 14 days after the fertilization gastrulation begins which is the initial stage of appearance of spinal column in an embryo (Powell, 2016). Powell (2016) argued that the fertilization is the milestone of personhood, thus the unborn entity should be treated as a person and abortion cannot be
The PBS Nova Video, Life’s Greatest Miracle depicted the incredible journey of through the human body as new life begins. The video took a close look into the womb, into a cell, and shed light life itself. The video was divided into eight sections. Section one, started with the discussion of the natural drive to reproduce. The video indicated that “almost every cell of your body you have thirty thousand or more different genes, spread out over long strands of DNA called chromosomes. Most
In this report I will be discussing the development issues about prenatal development, and the newborn. Developmental psychology is basically a psychology study that focuses on the cognitive, physical, and social change throughout our life span. In prenatal development we learn about nature and nurture, continuity and stages, and stability and change. Prenatal Development is the process in which babies develop from one single cell after making a baby into an Embryo and later on a fetus . An Embryo
This stage begins around the second week and lasts until eight weeks after conception. As the cells divide and start to develop their own functions a process known as gastrulation takes place. Three germ layers form because of this process and they are known as the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. The ectoderm, which is the outer layer is responsible for forming the nervous system, skin, hair, nails, teeth, nose,mouth,
Raising the birth of a child and probably the happiest feeling in the world. Pregnant women have a lot to worry about as it is carrying with it a new life in the womb. After puberty body is ready to move onto the next to steps such as the creation of a child. This takes time, partners should be ready to join their sperm and egg, fertilized egg will go into zygote stage . This takes time, a pregnant woman is required to do this sperm and egg merge after a zygote. A zygote is "a human embryo". There
1.0 How does an egg becomes an adult? Human pregnancy begins with the fusion of an egg and a sperm within the female reproductive tract, but extensive stages precedes this event. First, both male and female sex cells must pass through a long series of changes under a process called gametogenesis. As the human embryologist Larsen (1997) states that gametogenesis is the process that converts primordial germ cells into mature sex gametes in the male (spermatozoa, or sperms), and in the female (definitive
Abstract In this report I will be discussing the development issues on prenatal development, and the newborn. Developmental psychology is basically a branch of psychology that studies cognitive, physical, and social change throughout our life span. In prenatal development we learn about nature and nurture, continuity and stages, and stability and change. Prenatal development refers to the process in which a baby develops from a single cell after a conception into an embryo and later a fetus. An

For humans, this stage begins in the third week of conception. “At this stage, the developing heart itself consists of a plate of pro myocardial cells. The cardiac plate is positioned inferior to the presumptive pericardial
Thesis – despite the stigma surrounding stem cell research, the many potential benefits of stem cell research in the scientific, clinical and medical settings outweigh the negatives. Intro – Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) have unlimited potential to produce specialised cells of the body, which suggests enormous possibilities for disease research and for providing new therapies. Pros Stem cell research can potentially help treat a range of medical problems. It could lead humanity closer to better treatment
embryo is at least a potential person, so it has the right to life. First, I want to convince embryo may not be a person. If “person” here, means biologically a member of human beings, then after 14 days when primitive streak or after 16 days when gastrulation (Damschen, Gómez-Lobo and Schönecker), an embryo is certainly a person, because at this point, the process of individualization is irreversible. At this time, the embryo can be determined as an individual human being. From this I believe that an
the trachea and the fallopian tubes of uterus and beat in a rhythmic pattern to produce movement in the fluid. The primary cilia form the basis of many specialized sensory structures. The nodal cilia generate asymmetric movement at the site of gastrulation, the embryonic node. This essay will explore the role of motile cilia damage and genetic mutation in the array of respiratory diseases. All types of cilia have a length of about 10-15 μm and comprises of the same basic structure. A cilium is a
The Hox genes are a set of related genes that code for transcription factors involved in determining the general body plan of an organism along the anterior to posterior axis. One unique feature of the hox gene is that its function and presence is highly conserved in a wide range of species, including the model organism Drosophila, amphibians, and mammals. Because of such a high level of homology amongst species where this gene cluster exists, conducting research using model organisms containing

Birth is the only way which will preserve the human species from extinction and for the continuity of life. Although, the pregnancy and birth processes are complex, we need to know them and learn about them because of their importance. In this process the reproductive systems in the male and female are involved. They produce sex cells or gametes: the egg and the sperm. These systems are very essential to make almost identical new embryo cells to the parents, but each one of them differs from the
Echinoderm (meaning Spiny skinned) is a diverse group of invertebrates belonging to the phylum Echinodermata. Phylum Echinodermata consists of five main classes that are divided into 7,500 extant species and approximately 13,000 known extinct species, including several classes that were discovered through fossils. The five main classes are proposed to have evolved from a common metazoan ancestor approximately 500 million years ago during the early Palaeozoic period (Britannica, 2014). Echinoderms
Embryonic development is a remarkable process that requires carefully regulated cell proliferation, the formation of distinct cell lineases that adopt unique cell functions, and finally the concerted interaction between cell types to produce complex tissues. These events take place within the uterus of the mother after the conceptus implants, this feature demands that the conceptus composes additional events, beyond its own development, related to controlling maternal physiological functions, growth
