1-F Early Development Flashcards
Explain the process of gametogenesis- the formation of female and male germ cells as described in these notes
a. Process that forms gametes (ovum and sperm) converting diploid cells into haploid cells by meiosis
At birth all oogonium have become primary oocytes that are stuck in
prophase I
What is the sequence of primordial follicule to ovulation?
primordial follicle, primary follicule, secondary follicle, ovulationof secondary oocyte with zona pellucida and corona radiata
Primordial follicles consist of primary oocyte surrounded
zona pellucida and supported by follicular cells
Maturation of primordial follicles mature through primary and secondary follicles and what forms in the follicular cell layer
antrum
What is ovulated
a secondary oocyte including a zona pellucida and corona radiata
After the ovum is released into the peritoneal most enter ____
the fimbriated end of the oviduct
Ovulation causes the oocyte to re-enter what part of the cycle
meiosis and once again halting at metaphase II
Locate where fertilization occurs
normally occurs at the ovarian end of the uterine tube, occurs once the sperm enters the secondary oocyte to form the zygote
After fertilization all mitotic divisions are called:
cleavages
Define early development
the process of zygote transforming into an embryonic disc (multicellular, tralaminar disc, period lasting 3 weeks
Define differential growth
some areas grow more than others
Define cavitaiton
hollowing out of a ball of cells
Define cell migration
movement of cells from one place to another
Define cell death
programed destruction of tissue due to development
Define bud formation
bulging of cells open at one end
Define tube formation
a cylinder of cells open at two ends
Zygote
fusion of primary oocyte and sperm forming a diploid cell
zona pellucida
glycoprotein layer which protects and nourishes the oocyte, found around the oocyte in the primordial follicule, primary and secondary follicle and zygote pre-implantation
morula
16- cells stage of embryo made of a solid ball of blastomeres (undiferentiated and plueripotent)
blastula
embryo after the morula cavitates, creating a hollow cavity called the bastocoel
trophoblastic cells
of the blastula, the cells that form the outer surface of the cavity, they eventually become the placenta and extraembryonic membranes
inner cell mass/ embryoblasts
one pole of the blastula has a concentration of cells that will develop into an embryo
