1 ) State and describe the stages of embryo development after fertilization occur?

The term embryonic development refers to changes that take place as an embryo
matures. The zygote forms in one of the mother's fallopian tubes, the tubes that
connect the ovaries with the uterus. It then travels to the uterus, where it becomes
implant to the uterine lining. Along the way, the zygote divides a number of times.
By the time it reaches the uterus, it consists of about multiple cells and is called an
embryoblast.The exact day on which the embryoblast implants on the uterine wall
varies, but is usually about the sixth day after fertilization. By the end of the first
week, a protective sac, the amniotic cavity, begins to form around the embryoblast.
Changes now begin to take place at a rapid rate.
During week two of embryonic development, embryonic cells have begun the
process of differentiation. The identical cells formed by the early divisions of the
zygote are beginning to take on the different characteristic of muscle, blood, nerve,
bone, and other kinds of cells. The embryo has burrowed deep into the uterine wall
and is visible as a bump on the inner uterine surface. This position permits the embryo
to receive oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood and to excrete waste products
into her bloodstream.

During week three the embryo grows The development of multi-cellular organisms
begins from a single-celled zygote, which undergoes rapid cell division to form the
blastula. The rapid, multiple rounds of cell division are termed cleavage. After the
cleavage has produced over 100 cells, the embryo is called a blastula. The blastula is
usually a spherical layer of cells (the blastoderm) surrounding a fluid-filled or yolk-
filled cavity (the blastocoel) and this called the blastocyst, characterized by an inner
cell mass that is distinct from the surrounding blastula, During cleavage, the cells
divide without an increase in mass means ones large single-celled zygote divides into
multiple smaller cells. Each cell within he blastula is called blastomere. Three distinct
types of cells can be distinguished. Ectoderm cells will form the embryo's
skin,mesoderm cells its bones, muscles, and organs and endoderm cells its digestive
tract.
2) There are condition or situations of a pregnant mother on her “enviroment”
toward the conceptus that called maternal recognition.Elaborate what happen
during this recognition.

Maternal recognition of pregnancy refers to the requirement for the conceptus


(embryo and its associated extra-embryonic membranes) to produce a hormone that
acts on the uterus and/or corpus luteum to ensure maintenance of a functional corpus
luteum for production of progesterone; the hormone required for pregnancy in most
mammals. The pregnancy recognition signal in primates is chorionic gonadotrophin
which acts directly on the corpus luteum via luteinizing hormone receptors to ensure
maintenance of functional corpus luteum during pregnancy.

Blastocysts of humans and other primates secrete large quantities of a protein


hormone called chorionic gonadotropin (CG), which is very similar to luteinizing
hormone. CG binds to luteinizing hormone receptors in the corpus luteum and
stimulates continued secretion of progesterone. It may also block signals in the
corpus luteum that cause luteal regression.
