Q

In human lasts approximately 7 hrs.

19
Q

Capacitation

A

Occurs more in the uterine tube

20
Q

Capacitation

A

Epithelial interactions between the sperm and mucosal surface of the tube

21
Q

glycoprotein coat and seminal plasma proteins are removed from the plasma membrane that overlies the acrosomal region of the spermatozoa.

A

During the time of capacitation

22
Q

An ovulated oocyte is encapsulated by:

A
  • The corona radiata and zona pellucida

* Extracellular matrix

23
Q

Hundreds of acrosomes release their enzymes to digest the

A

Zona pellucida

24
Q

Once a sperm makes contact with the oocyte’s membrane:

A
  • Beta protein finds and binds to receptors on the oocyte membrane
  • Alpha protein causes it to insert into the membrane
25
increase in cellular respiration and protein synthesis in egg
Egg activation
26
Only one sperm is allowed to penetrate the oocyte
Block to poly spermy
27
Completion of Meiosis II
Upon entry of sperm
28
when the pronuclei come together
Fertilization
29
The first cleavage produces two daughter cells called
blastomeres
30
the 16 or more cell stage (72 hours old)
Morula
31
the preembryo consists of 100 or so cells (blastocyst)
By the fourth or fifth day
32
a fluid-filled hollow sphere composed of: • A single layer of trophoblasts • An inner cell mass
Blastocyst
33
take part in placenta formation
Trophoblasts
34
becomes the embryonic disc
The inner cell mass
35
Implanting blastocyst
6 days
36
Implantation of the Blastocyst
Begins six to seven days after ovulation when the trophoblasts adhere to a properly prepared endometrium
37
Syncytiotrophoblast
cells in the outer layer that lose their plasma membranes and invade the endometrium secret human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
38
Implantation is completed by
the fourteenth day after ovulation
39
Viability of the corpus luteum is maintained by
human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) secreted by the trophoblasts
40
hCG prompts the corpus luteum to continue to secrete
progesterone and estrogen
41
Between the second and third month, the placenta:
* Assumes the role of progesterone and estrogen production | * Is providing nutrients and removing wastes
42
The most common form of human ectopic pregnancy is described as a
tubal | pregnancy (implantation occurs within the uterine tube).
43
Ectopic pregnancies are therefore often identified by
early ultrasound scans.
44
• The risk factors for tubal ectopic pregnancy include:
* Tubal damage by infection (particularly Chlamydia trachomatis) or surgery, smoking and in vitro fertilization therapy. * Prolonged tubal damage is often described as pelvic inflammatory disease and , can affect the cilia- mediated transport of the blastocyst during the first week of development.
