mesoderm
week one embryonic development events
fertilization, morula, blastocycst, implantation
polyspermy-
multiple sperm
zona pellucida
translucent layer around Oocyte, sperm attachment site, protects zygote, implantation to the uterus
Oocyte
egg+sperm??
acrosomal vesicle was originally derived from______
golgi
how does one sperm recognize an Oocyte
specific receptor on head of sperm that recognize zona pellicula
how is polyspermy prevented
binding increases opening of sodium channels and release of cortical granules
activation of sperm
exocytosis of the acrosomal vesicle (containing proteases)
4 key steps of fertilization
- binding of sperm 2. acrosomal reaction 3. penetration through zona pellucida 4. fusion of plasma membranes 5 sperm nucleaus enters egg cytoplasm.
cleavage begins about ______ hours post fertilization
30
blastomeres are ________
totipotent
cleavage leads to _______of the ________
compaction , morula
the morula is tightly adhered within the ________ __________
zona pellucida
