3. Human development
from ovulation to
fertilization
Human development begins at
fertilization when a male gamete or
sperm unites with a female gamete
or oocyte to form a single cell _
ZYGOTE
This highly specialized totipotent
cell marked the beginning of each
of us aswww.indiandentalacademy.c
a unique individual
om
4. Primordial germ cells
Gametes are derived from
“primordial germ cells” that are
formed in the epiblast during the
second week and that move to the
wall of the yolksac
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
5. During the fourth week these cells
begin to migrate from the yolk sac
toward the developing gonads ,where
they arrive by the end of fifth week
.mitotic divisions increase their
number during their migration and
also when they arrive in gonad
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
6. These primordial germ cells undergo
“GAMETOGENESIS” and
“CYTODIFFERENTIATION” to
complete their maturation
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
7. GAMETOGENESIS
Gametogenesis {gamete formation}is the
process of formation and development of
specialized generative cells _
”GAMETES”
This maturation process is called
spermatogenesis in males and oogenesis
in females
During gametogenesis the chromosome
number is reduced to half by a process
called “meiosis”
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
10. Cell divisions
There are two types of cell division
MITOSIS
“ It is the process by
whereby one cell divides ,giving rise to
two daughter cells that are genetically
identical to parent cell”
Before a cell enters mitosis ,each
chromosome replicates its DNA
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
12. MEIOSIS
It is the cell division that
takes place in the germ cells to
generate male and female gametes
(egg & sperm) respectively
Meiosis requires two cell divisions to
reduce the number of chromosomes to
haploid number
MEIOSIS I
MEIOSIS II
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
13. MEIOSIS
1. SYNAPSE FORMATION
2. CROSSOVER
3.INTERCHANGE OF CHROMATID
SEGMENTS
4. CHIASMA FORMATION
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
15. FERTILIZATION
It is acomplex sequence of
coordinated molecular events that
begins with contact between a sperm
& oocyte & ends with intermingling
of maternal &paternal chromosomes
at metaphase of first mitotic
division of zygote ,a unicellular
embryo
Usual site of occurrence of
fertilization is ampulla of uterine
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
16. Cleavage of zygote
zygote {after 30hrs after fertilization}
Repeated mitotic divisions
Two blastomeres
Four blastomeres
Eight blastomeres
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
18. COMPACTION
After the nine cell stage ,blastomeres
change their shape and tightly align
themselves against each other to form a
compact ball of cells .
This phenomenon is called “compaction”
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
19. Morula
when there are 12 to 32 blastomeres ,the
developing human is called morula {mulberry}
It was given its name because it resembles a mulberry
or black berry
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
20. Formation of blastocyst
Shortly after morula enters uterus [about 4days
after fertilization} a fluid filled space appears
inside the morula
As the fluid increases in the blastocystic cavity ,it
separates the blastomeres into two parts
a. trophoblast {outer cell layer}
b. embryoblast {inner cell mass}
At this stage of development the conceptus is
called a blastocyst
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
22. During cleavage the zygote is within thick zona
pellucida
After free blastocyst has floated in the uterine
secretions for two days the zona pellucida
degenerates and disappears
Shedding of zona pellucida permits the
blastocyst to increase rapidly in size about six
days after fertilization the blastocyst attaches to
endometrial epithelium
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
23. TROPHOBLAST (as blastocyst attaches to the
endometrial epithelium)
a. Inner layer of cytotrophoblast
b. outer mass of syncytiotrophoblast

25. Formation of amniotic cavity
After implantation of blastocyst
small space appears in embryoblast
This space is the primordium of amniotic
cavity lined by amnioblasts
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
26. Morphological changes occur in embryoblast that
result in formation of flat almost circular
bilaminar plate of cells,this embryonic disk has
two layers
HYPOBLAST
EPIBLAST
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
28. EPIBLAST
forms floor of amniotic cavity
HYPOBLAST

om
31. Prechordal plate
Prechordal plate develops as a
localized thickening of hypoblast,
which indicates the future cranial
region of embryo and the future site of
mouth. Prechordal plate is also an
important organizer of head region
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
33. Formation of germ layers
third week
GASTULATION
A. it is formative process by which the three germ
layers and axial orientation are established in
embryos.
B. during gastrulation the bilaminar
embryonic disc is converted into trilaminar
embryonic disc.
C. first sign of gastrulation is appearance of
primitive www.indiandentalacademy.c
streak.
om
34. Primitive streak
Primitive streak results from proliferation and
migration of cells of epiblast to median plane of
the embryonic disc
Primitive streak appears “caudally in the median
plane of the dorsal aspect of the embryonic
disc”
It is possible to identify the embryos craniocaudal
axis, its cranial and caudal end, its dorsal and
ventral surfaces and its right and left sides.
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
35. PRIMITIVE NODE
As the primitive streak elongates by
addition of cells to its caudal end ,its cranial end
proliferates to form a primitive node .
Concurrently a narrow groove primitive
groove develops in the primitive streak that is
continuous with a small depression in the primitive
node - primitive pit
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
38. primitive streak {cells leave its deep
surface and form }
mesenchyme{ a tissue consisting of
loosely arranged cells suspended in a
gelatinous matrix}
some mesenchyme forms intra
embryonic or embryonic mesoderm
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
39. Cells from epiblast displace the hypoblast forming the
intraembryonic or embryonic endoderm
Cells remaining in the epiblast form the intra embryonic
or embryonic ectoderm
Reasearch data suggest that signaling molecules of
the transforming growth factor{TGF-B}superfamily
induce ,the mesoderm
TGF-B{nodal},T-box transcription factor{veg-t}
and Wnt signalling pathway appear to be involved in
specification of endoderm

40. Fate of primitive streak
Primitive streak diminishes and becomes
insignificant structure in
sacrococcygeal region of embryo by
end of fourth week
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
41. Notochordal process and
notochord
Some mesenchymal cells migrate cranially from
the primitive node and pit forming a median
cellular cord ,the notochordal process
the primitive pit extends into the notochordal
process forming a notochordal canal
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
45. Notochordal process is a cellular tube extends
cranially from the primitive node to the prechordal
plate
The floor of notochordal process fuses with the
underlying embryonic endoderm
The fused layers gradually undergo degeneration
resulting in the formation of openings in the floor
of the notochordal process ,which brings the
notochordal process into communication with the
yolksac
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
47. The openings rapidly become
confluent and the floor of the
notochordal canal disappears ,the
remains of notochordal process form a
flattened ,grooved notochordal plate
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
48. Intrinsic signals from the primitive streak
region induce notochordal precursor cells
to form the notochord
Beginning at the cranial end of the
embryo ,the notochordal cells proliferate
and the notochordal plate infolds to form
the notochord
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
49. NOTOCHORD
It is an intricate structure around which the
vertebral column forms
It extends from the oropharyngeal membrane to
the primitive node .
The notochord degenerates and disappears as
the bodies of the vertebrae form but it persists
as the nucleus pulposes of each intervertebral
disc www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
50. • Notochord functions as the primary
inductor in the early embryo
• The developing notochord induces the
overlying embryonic ectoderm to
thicken and form the “neural plate”
[the primordium of central nervous
system]
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
51. NEURULATION :FORMATION OF
NEURAL TUBE
The process involved in the formation of
the neural plate and neural folds and
closure of the folds to form the neural
tube constitute neurulation.
These processes are completed by the
end of fourth week
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
52. Neural plate and neural tube
As the notochord develops the embryonic
ectoderm over it thickens to form an
elongated ,slipper like plate of thickened
epithelial cells ,the NEURAL PLATE
NEURAL PLATE appears cranial to
primitive node ,dorsal to notochord and
mesoderm adjacent to it .
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
54. As the notochord elongates ,the neural
plate broadens and eventually extends
cranially as far as the oropharyngeal
membrane ,eventually the neural plate
extends beyond the notochord
On about 18th day ,the neural plate
invaginates along its central axis to form a
longitudinal MEDIAN NEURAL
GROOVE ,which has neural folds on each
side
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
57. The NEURAL FOLDS become
particularly prominent at the cranial end of
the embryo and are the first signs of brain
development .
By the end of the third week ,the neural
folds have begun to move together and
fuse ,converting the neural plate into
NEURAL TUBE
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
59. NEURAL CREST
FORMATION
As the neural folds fuse to form the neural tube, some
neuroectodermal cells lying along the crest of each
neural fold lose their epithelial affinities and
attachments to neighbouring cells
As the neural tube separates from the surface ectoderm,
neural crest cells migrate dorsoventrally on each side
of neural tube .
They soon form a flattened irregular mass, the neural
crest, between the neural tube and the overlying surface
ectoderm www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
62. Neural crest soon separates in to right and
left parts migrate into the dorsoventral
aspects of neural tube, here they give rise
to sensory ganglia and cranial nerves
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
64. Neural crest cells migrate in various
directions and disperse within the
mesenchyme
Although these cells are difficult to identify
special laser techniques have revealed
neural crest cells disseminate widely
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
65. Neural crest cells give rise to
1. Spinal ganglia
2. Ganglia of ans
3. Ganglia of cranial nerves
5,7,9,10
4. Pigment cells
5. suprarenal medulla
6. several skeletal and muscular
components in head
www.indiandentalacademy.c

BMP, Wnt,Notch,FGF are
involved in signalling systems of
neural crest formation and in
migration and differentiation of
neural crest cells

67. PHARYNGEAL
APPARATUS
Pharyngeal apparatus are aslo known as
Branchial apparatus

72. BY the end of fourth week ,4 pairs of
pharyngeal arches are visible externally .
5 & 6 pharyngeal arches are rudimentary
and are not visible on surface of embryo
Pharyngeal arches are separated from
each other by fissures known as
pharyngeal groove
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
73. Pharyngeal arch components
Each pharyngeal arch consists of a core of
mesenchyme {embryonic connective
tissue}and is covered externally by
ectoderm and internally by endoderm
This mesenchyme is derived from
mesoderm in third week ,during fourth week
most of the mesenchyme is derived from
neural crest cells that migrate into
pharyngeal arches

75. Fate of pharyngeal arches
Pharyngeal arches contribute extensively to formation of
face , nasal cavities, mouth,larynx,pharynx&neck
During fifth week, second pharyngeal arch enlarges and
overgrows the third and fourth arches ,forming an
ectodermal depression called cervical sinus
By the end of 7 week the second to fourth pharyngeal
grooves and cervical sinus have disappeared giving neck a
smooth contour

92. Frontonasal prominence surrounds the
ventrolateral part of the forebrain
Frontal part of frontonasal process forms the
forehead
The nasal part forms the rostral boundary of the
stomodeum, primodial mouth, nose
The paired maxillary prominence forms the lateral
boundaries of the stomodeum
The paired mandibular process forms the caudal
part of primitive mouth , stomodeum
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
93. FORMATION of LNP and MNP
Nasal placode
By the end of 4th week bilateral oval thickenings of surface
ectoderm develop. These are known as nasal placodes.
by the end of 5th week the nasal placodes invaginate to form
nasal pits, in doing so they create a ridge of tissue that
surrounds each pit and forms nasal prominences
the prominences on the outer edge of the pits are lateral nasal
prominences and those of inner ridge are medial nasal
prominences
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
95. FORMATION OF UPPER LIP
During the following 2 weeks the maxillary
prominences due to proliferation of
mesenchyme continue to increase in size and
grow medially compressing the MNP towards
the midline.
Subsequently the cleft between the MNP and
MP is lost and the 2 fuse, hence the upper lip is
formed by 2 MNP and 2 MP.
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
97. NASOLACRIMAL DUCT
MP and LNP are seperated by deep furrow
known as nasolacrimal groove
The ectoderm in this floor of this groove forms
a solid epithelial cord that detaches from the
overlying ectoderm
After canalization the cord forms the
nasolacrimal duct, its upper end widens to form
lacrimal sac
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
98. Lower jaw and lower lip are the first
formed parts of the face to be formed.
They result from merging of medial ends
of mandibular prominences in the medial
plane.

om
103. Formation of nose
Nose is formed from 5 facial prominences.
Frontonasal prominence gives rise to nasal
bridge.
Merged medial nasal prominences provide
the crest and the tip.
Lateral nasal prominences form the sides
or alae of the nose.
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
104. Intermaxillary segment
As a result of medial growth of maxillary
prominences the MNP merge forming
intermaxillary segment.

107. Development of palate
Palate develops from two primordia
1. The primary palate
2. The secondary palate
Primary palate
early in the 6th week the primary palate
– median palatine process begins to develop
from the deep part of the intermaxillary
segment of maxilla
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
108. The primary palate forms the
premaxillary part of maxilla .it
represents only a small part of the
adult hard palate
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
109. Secondary palate
The secondary palate is the primodium of the
hard and soft parts of the palate
The secondary palate begins to develop early in 6th
week from two mesenchymal projections that
extend from the internal aspects of maxillary
prominences.
Initially these structures the lateral palatine
process or palatal shelves project inferomedially
on each side of tongue
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
110. As the jaws develop tongue becomes relatively
smaller and moves inferiorly
During seventh and eighth week the lateral
palatine process ascend to horizontal position
superior to tongue
Gradually these process approach each other
and fuse in median plane they also fuse with
nasal septum and posterior part of primary
palate
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
111. Bone gradually develops in the primary palate
forming the premaxillary part of the maxilla
concurrently bone extends from maxilla and
palatine bones into the lateral palatine process

become ossified they extend posteriorly
beyond the nasal septum and fuse to form
soft palate ,including its soft conical
projection uvula

118. Development of salivary glands
During 6th, 7th, week salivary glands
development begins as solid epithelial buds
from primordial oral cavity
The club shaped ends of these epithelial
buds grow into the underlying
mesenchyme
The connective tissue in glands is derived
from neural crest cells
www.indiandentalacademy.c

to 12 ducts that open inti floor of mouth
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
123. Development of tongue
Tongue appears in embryos of
approximately 4 weeks in the form of
1. two lateral lingual swellings
2. one median swelling
3. the tuberculum impar
these three they arise from first
pharyngeal arch
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
124. A second median swelling, copula or
hypobranchial eminence is formed by the
mesoderm of second, third, part of fourth
arch
A third median swellings formed by the
posterior part of the fourth arch marks the
development of the epiglottis
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
125. The lateral lingual swellings overgrow the
tuberculum impar and merge ,forming the
anterior two thirds of tongue
Sensory innervation to this part of tongue is the
mandibular part of trigeminal nerve
Posterior part is formed from second ,third&
part of fourth arch
Sensory innervation to this part of tongue is
glossopharyngeal nerve
Extreme posterior part of tongue is innervated
by superior laryngeal nerve
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
126. Special sensory innervation (taste) to
anterior two-thirds is chorda tympani
While to posterior is glosssopharyngeal
nerve
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
127. Molecular regulation of facial
development
Much of the face is mainly derived from neural crest
cells that migrate into pharyngeal arches
In hind brain they(NCC) orginate from rhombomeres
(segmened regions)
They are eight segments
NCC from R1 & R2 migrate to first arch
Cells from R4 go to second arch
Those from R6 & R7 go to third arch
Those from R8 go to fourth and sixth arches
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
128. Patterning of pharyngeal arches is regulated by HOX
genes carried by migrating neural crest cells
The expression patterns of HOX genes occur in
specific overlying patterns
The expression patterns determine the organization of
cranial ganglia and nerves and pathways of neural
regulation
Initially crest cells express the HOX genes from their
segment of origin ,but maintainence of this specific
expression is dependant upon interaction of cells with
mesoderm in pharyngeal arches
www.indiandentalacademy.c
om
129. A host of upstream and down stream genes are involved
in expression pattern
SONIC HEDGEHOG may be one of the upstream
regulators
Retinoids can also regulate HOX gene expression in a
concentration dependant manner
Regulation occurs through
retinioc acid response elements
In addition to HOX gene ,OTX2 also participate in
morphogenesis of first arch
