Questions and Answers
- 1.
The prechordal plate will be the location of:
- A.
Heart
- B.
Stomach
- C.
Mouth
- D.
Spinal cord
Correct Answer
C. MouthExplanation
The prechordal plate is a region in the early embryonic development that gives rise to the mouth. It is responsible for the formation of the oral cavity and structures associated with it, such as the lips and tongue. The heart, stomach, and spinal cord, on the other hand, develop from different regions of the embryo. Therefore, the correct answer is "Mouth".Rate this question:

Which one of these is not formed by the neural crest?
- A.
The CNS
- B.
Pigment cells
- C.
Adrenal gland medulla
- D.
Peripheral ganglia
Correct Answer
A. The CNSExplanation
The CNS (Central Nervous System) is not formed by the neural crest. The neural crest is a group of cells that develop along the edges of the neural tube during embryonic development. It gives rise to various structures including pigment cells, the adrenal gland medulla, and peripheral ganglia. However, the CNS is formed from the neural tube itself, not the neural crest.Rate this question:

The process by which the bilaminar disc is converted into trilaminar disc is:
- A.
Neurolation
- B.
Gastrulation
- C.
Implantation
- D.
Folding
Correct Answer
B. GastrulationExplanation
Gastrulation is the correct answer because it is the process by which the bilaminar disc, which consists of two layers (epiblast and hypoblast), is converted into a trilaminar disc. During gastrulation, the epiblast cells migrate and invaginate to form the three germ layers - ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. This process is crucial for the development of various organs and tissues in the embryo.Rate this question:

The cells by which the embryo will be nourished are:
- A.
Cytotrophoblast
- B.
Amnion
- C.
Decidual
- D.
Blastomeres
Correct Answer
C. DecidualExplanation
Decidual cells are the cells that form the decidua, which is the lining of the uterus during pregnancy. These cells are responsible for the nourishment and support of the developing embryo. They provide nutrients and oxygen to the embryo, as well as remove waste products. Additionally, decidual cells play a crucial role in the implantation of the embryo into the uterine wall and the formation of the placenta. Overall, decidual cells are essential for the successful development and growth of the embryo.Rate this question:

The part involved in the formation of blood is:
- A.
Notochord
- B.
Somites
- C.
Mesoderm
- D.
Allantois
Correct Answer
D. AllantoisExplanation
The allantois is involved in the formation of blood. The allantois is a structure that develops during embryonic development in mammals, birds, and reptiles. It plays a crucial role in the formation of blood vessels and the production of blood cells. The allantois connects the embryo to the developing placenta and is responsible for the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the embryo and the mother. Additionally, it serves as a site for the production of blood cells, contributing to the formation of the circulatory system.Rate this question:

The fluid will start to accumulate within the morula :
- A.
5 DAF
- B.
10 DAF
- C.
8 DAF
- D.
2 DAF

A. 5 DAF -
- 7.
The epiblast is formed of:
- A.
Squamous cells
- B.
Cuboidal cells
- C.
Columnar cells
- D.
Mucous cells
Correct Answer
C. Columnar cellsExplanation
The epiblast is formed of columnar cells. Columnar cells are elongated and have a tall, narrow shape, resembling columns. They are found in various tissues and organs of the body, including the epiblast. These cells are specialized for functions such as absorption and secretion due to their shape and arrangement. Therefore, the correct answer is columnar cells.Rate this question:

After the blastocystic cavity is surrounded by exocoelomic membrane it is called:
- A.
Primary umbilical vesicle
- B.
Exocoelomic cavity
- C.
Secondary umbilical vesicle
- D.
Amniotic cavity
Correct Answer
B. Exocoelomic cavityExplanation
After the blastocystic cavity is surrounded by the exocoelomic membrane, it is called the exocoelomic cavity. This is the space that forms within the blastocyst, which is the early stage of development of an embryo. The exocoelomic cavity plays a crucial role in the development of the embryo, as it is involved in the formation of the yolk sac and the establishment of the circulatory system. It eventually gives rise to the primary umbilical vesicle, which is an important structure for the exchange of nutrients and waste between the mother and the developing embryo.Rate this question:

First spontaneous movement of the embryo is in:
- A.
10th week
- B.
8th week
- C.
6th week
- D.
13-16 week
Correct Answer
C. 6th weekExplanation
During the 6th week of pregnancy, the embryo undergoes a significant development known as the beginning of spontaneous movement. This is when the embryo starts to make its first voluntary movements, which are often small and uncoordinated. These movements are essential for the normal development of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. By the 6th week, the embryo has developed enough to have the capability to move, marking an important milestone in its growth and development.Rate this question:

The fetal period is:
- A.
The period from implantation till the 8th week
- B.
The period from 2nd-3rd week
- C.
The period from 9th week till birth
- D.
The period from 7th -11th week
Correct Answer
C. The period from 9th week till birthExplanation
The fetal period refers to the stage of prenatal development that starts from the 9th week of gestation and continues until birth. During this period, the major organs and systems of the fetus develop and mature. It is characterized by rapid growth and refinement of structures, as well as the development of more distinct human characteristics.Rate this question:

To diagnose any abnormality in the fetal heart we use:
- A.
Fetal monitoring
- B.
Ultrasonography
- C.
Chorionic villus sampling
- D.
Cell culture
Correct Answer
A. Fetal monitoringExplanation
Fetal monitoring is used to diagnose any abnormality in the fetal heart. This involves monitoring the baby's heart rate and rhythm during pregnancy using various techniques such as electronic fetal monitoring or Doppler ultrasound. By continuously monitoring the fetal heart, healthcare providers can detect any irregularities or signs of distress, allowing for timely intervention and appropriate management. Ultrasonography, chorionic villus sampling, and cell culture are not specifically used for diagnosing abnormalities in the fetal heart.Rate this question:

All of these can result in a variation in human species except:
- A.
Crossing-over
- B.
Implantation
- C.
Mutations
- D.
Mingling of chromosomes from two different individuals.
Correct Answer
B. ImplantationExplanation
Implantation refers to the attachment of a fertilized egg to the lining of the uterus, which is a crucial step in pregnancy. However, implantation does not directly cause a variation in the human species. On the other hand, crossing-over during meiosis, mutations in DNA, and the mingling of chromosomes from two different individuals can all lead to genetic variations and contribute to the diversity within the human species.Rate this question:

The blastocyst is called (later blastocyst) after:
- A.
Implantation
- B.
Fertilization
- C.
Hatching
- D.
Embedding
Correct Answer
C. HatchingExplanation
The blastocyst is called "later blastocyst" after hatching. Hatching refers to the process in which the blastocyst breaks out of its protective zona pellucida and implants itself into the uterine lining. This marks an important stage in embryonic development as it allows the blastocyst to establish a connection with the maternal blood supply and continue its growth and development. Therefore, the term "later blastocyst" is used to describe the blastocyst after it has successfully hatched.Rate this question:

Extraembryonic Splanchnic mesoderm covers:
- A.
Amniotic cavity
- B.
Umbilical vesicle
- C.
Bilaminar disc
- D.
Trilaminar disc
Correct Answer
B. Umbilical vesicleExplanation
The extraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm covers the umbilical vesicle. This is a structure that forms during early embryonic development and is responsible for providing nutrients to the developing embryo. The splanchnic mesoderm surrounds and protects the umbilical vesicle, ensuring its proper function and development.Rate this question:
