Embryology and Development — Flashcards

The umbilical vein drains oxygenated blood into the fetal IVC via the _____ or ductus venosus

During the _____ period (lung development), the alveolar ducts form the terminal sacs

The _____ branchial cleft develops into the external auditory meatus

Development of notochord:The cells from the notochordal _____ proliferate to form a solid rod-like structure called a definitive notochord.

_____ appear in the head region of the embryo

Hint: Mesodermal structure

Fingerprint patterns are determined by the _____ month of gestation, created by the structure of the dermal papillae

The male _____ is homologous to the female glans clitoris, which both arise from the genital tubercle

The tubotympanic recess gives rise to the _____ distally, while the proximal part remains narrow and forms the auditory tube (eustachian tube)

_____ cells are the homolog of female granulosa cells

Failure of the _____ to close in proximal part results in a cleft of the retina/choroid/optic nerve
