8. Human & Growth & Development Chp 23 Flashcards
Growth
increase in size
development
process of change from one life phase to another. includes prenatal and postnatal
Oocyte life
last 24 hours
Sperm life
last 72 hours
pregnancy
intercourse should (or not) be within 722 hours pre or 24 hours post ovulation
fertilization
sperm reaching the secondary oocyte invade the follicular cells and bind to the zona pellucida. the first sperm head to enter the egg cell triggers lysosome-like vesicles just beneath the egg cell’s membrane to release enzymes that harden in the z.p
Prenatal period (38 weeks)
zygote into smaller cells (blastomeres) as it moves to the uterus (3 days). by then its a solid morula which hollows out (blastocyst) and attaches by day 7. the inner portion becomes the embryo proper, outer wall makes up the tropoblast
Placenta Hormones
hCG Progesterone Estrogen Relaxin Lactogen
hCG
Prevents spontaneous abortions, maintains corpus luteum
Progesterone and estrogen
promotes development of uterine wall
Relaxin
(corpus luteum) relaxes smooth muscle and ligaments
Lactogen
(placenta) stimulates breast development, gets you ready for milk production
Embryonic (2nd-8th week)
the inner portion of the blastocyst becomes the embryonic disk
Endoderm
epithelial lining, digestive
Mesoderm
Muscle, bone, blood, CT, internal repro organs, kidneys
