CONCEPTUAL LIFE SCIENCE Development Fertilization Fertilization is the beginning of life. The sperm and egg unite to form a fertilized egg, which is also known as a zygote. The zygote begins to develop by undergoing a rapid series of cell divisions known as cleavage divisions. Stages of development Figure 18-1. Early stages of development. Cleavage After fertilization, the egg becomes a zygote. The zygote begins a series of rapid cleavage divisions. During the cleavage divisions, the embryo remains about the same size as the original egg. The result is called a morula, which is a solid ball of cells. As the cell divisions continue, the cell sizes continually become smaller in these stages. Blastula Cell division continues in the embryo. The blastula is a hollow ball of cells that results from these divisions. Early differentiation is seen because there are larger cells at one end of the embryo. This end with the larger cells is called the vegetal pole. The opposite end with the smaller cells is called the animal pole. The hollow interior part of the blastula is called the blastocoel. 18-1 18-2 Gastrula Gastrulation is the infolding of the embryo at the vegetal pole. The result is the gastrula. The outside layer of the gastrula is called the ectoderm. The inside cell layer is the endoderm. As cell division and differentiation continue, the interior space fills up with cells of a third type called mesoderm. The mesoderm forms between the other two cell layers. Differentiation Differentiation is the process of a cell or cells becoming different from the other cells in the same embryo. The cells become different as the embryo develops. The primary germ layers; ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm; give rise to the structures of the body. Table XVIII-1. Embryologic origin of body structures.
