Steps in animal development
•Fertilization - fusion of the nuclei of sperm and egg
•Cleavage- rapid cell division. transforms zygote into multicellular blastula , or blastblastocytes in mammals
•Gastrulation-cells on outside of young embryo move to the interior of embryo (results in mesoderm, endoderm, ectoderm
•Organogenesis- occurs after gastrulation in vertebrates where major organs develop from the 3 tissue types

Head of sperm
–contains nucleus and acrosome (enzyme filled structure)

Egg structure and function
- Has:
- Nucleus
- Yolk
- Cortical Granules
- Vitelline envelope
- Jelly Layer
-
Yolk
nutrition source for egg-laying species

Yolk
-
Cortical granules
•small vesicles filled with enzymes activated during fertilization (these enzymes are what prevent polyspermy)

Cortical Granules
-
Vitelline envelope
- sheet of glycoproteins surrounding egg
- (called zona pellucida in humans)
-
sheet of glycoproteins surrounding egg(called zona pellucida in humans) passes oxygen to chick embryo
Vitelline envelope
-
Acrosomal reaction
- Part of fertilization used to digest jelly layer of egg so the sperm can get through.
- "needed to get through jelly layer or glycoproteins release of enzymes that digest jelly layer

Acrosomal reaction
-
What happens during fertilization
- Sperm digests jelly layer.
- sperm binds to vitelline envelope and cuts a hole in it
- Sperm enters egg and the nucleus of the egg and sperm will bind
-
Polyspermy
fertilization of egg by more than one sperm
-
fertilization of egg by more than one sperm
polyspermy
-
What happens to prevent polyspermy in aquatic animals?
–vitelline envelope swells and forms fertilization envelope (creates physical barrier)
-
Fertilization envelope
- physical barrier created to prevent polyspermy in aquatic animals.

Cleavage
- •rapid cell divisions after fertilization
- –creates many small cells (blastomeres)
- without overall growth.
-
•rapid cell divisions after fertilization–creates many small cells (blastomeres)without overall growth.
Cleavage
-
Blastomeres
the small cells created during cleavage / cell division

CYTOPLASMIC
DETERMINANTS
- Signals in the egg cytoplasm that determine the
- fate (what type of cell they'll be) of specific blastomeres.

Gastrulation
- •Movements that rearrange cells into a gastrula
- •Forms embryonic tissue layers
- –ectoderm,mesoderm, endoderm
- •Forms gut

Gastrulation
-
Gastrula
An embryo at the stage following the blastula, consisting of a hollow, two-layered sac of ectoderm and endoderm

Gastrula
-
Ectoderm
- –outer layer of skin
- nervous system (brain and such)
-
–outer layer of skin nervous system (brain and such
Ectoderm
-
Mesoderm
- –muscle
- –most internal organs
- –connective tissues
-
–muscle–most internal organs–connective tissues
Mesoderm
-
Endoderm
- –most epithelial lining
- –some organs
- lines the inside of shit and is the liver
-
Organogenesis
•Tissue and organ formation after gastrulation
- Cells become differentiated
- (specialized)
-
Notochord
•forms from dorsal mesoderm
–rod-like structure along length of body
–present in chordates
-
•forms from dorsal mesoderm–rod-like structure along length of body–present in chordates
Notochord
-
Neural tube
•forms from fold of ectoderm
–signals come from notochord
–will become brain and spinal cord
-
•forms from fold of ectoderm–signals come from notochord–will become brain and spinal cord
Neural tube
-
Somites
–blocks of tissue formed from mesoderm
–both sides of the neural tube along length of body.
-

somites
-
Somite cells become several different tissues
based on location within somite.
-
Somite determination
•Somite cells differentiate in response to signals from nearby tissues•Signals diffuse from notochord, neural tube, nearby ectoderm and mesoderm
