Q

spermatogenesis

A

starts at puberty and throughout life; spermatogonia/stem cells in seminferous tubules undergo meiosis –> 4 haploid spermatozoa/sperm –> spermatozoa/sperm = transported to the epididymis to mature –> ejac (SEVENUP)

Q

oogenesis

A

starts in fetus, most die before birth; oocyte/egg = surrounded by peptidoglycan layer called zona pellucida and contained w/in follicle –> each mo, follicle enlarges and matures to die or ovulate –> follicle becomes corpus luteum post ovulation –> released oocyte w/ zona pellucida = covered by follicular cumulus cells –> meiosis resumes after ovulation –> large oocyte + 3 polar bodies

Q

fertilization

A

sperm penetrate follicular cumulus cells (corona radiata, cumulus oophorous) –> reach zona pellucida –> acrosome rxn –> sperm release digestive enzyme to penetrate zona pellucida –> sperm fuses w/ oocyte membrane –> cortical rxn –> zona pellucida = impermeable to other sperm –> fusion of plasma membranes –> complete meiosis –> mature oocyte and polar body

21
Q

stages of fertilized egg

A

ootid = cyto, pro-nuclei, cell membrane, zone pellucida; zygote = post fusion of pro-nuclei, mitosis starts; conceptus = any stage post fertilization

22
Q

blastomeres vs morula vs blastocyst

A

aka zygote, early embryonic cells enclosed in zona pellucida, totipotent to 8-cell stage vs 16+ cells, pluripotent, inner cell mass becomes embryo proper, outer cell mass becomes trophoblast (placenta precursor) vs after morula, “early blastocyst” = still in zona pellucida and blastocoel forms, “late blastocyst” = zona pellucida disintegrates (can get identical twins here) –> late blastocyst “hatches”, inner cell mass becomes embryoblast at embryonic pole and implants, syncytiotrophoblast and cytotrophoblast

23
Q

implantation

A

on day 7, blastocyst attaches to ut at embryonic pole, sm plug visible on uterine surface, trophoblast contact ut –> differentiate to syncytiotrophoblasts (remaining trophoblasts become cytotrophoblast)

24
Q

functionalis vs basalis of endometrium

A

undergoes cyclic changes in ovarian cycle and sheds during menstruation vs makes new functionalis for next ovarian cycle

25
follicular phase vs luteal phase
1wk before ovulation --> follicle secretes estrogen --> functionalis prolif vs post ovulation --> corpus luteum secretes progesterone to prep for implantation; if fert or implant don't occur --> menstruation
26
failure of cranial vs caudal neuropore
ancephaly vs spina bifida.
27
paraxial vs intermediate vs lateral mesoderm
sclero/myo/dermatome vs kidd, ureter, gonad vs body wall/cavity, GI
28
neurulation vs secondary neurulation
neural plate invaginates --> neural folds fuse --> neural tube --> brain & spinal cord --> nervous system vs sacral and coccygeal parts of spinal cord form from mesoderm
29
what is pharyngeal membrane made of?
thin meso, ecto/endo
30
vasculogenensis
angioblasts -> endothelial cell --> blood island --> major vessels
31
how to make heart?
pericardial tube --> primordial heart --> 3 vessels --> heart connects to pharyngeal arches --> make major blood arteries for head/neck --> beats day 21-22
32
hematopoiesis
wk 3; yolk sac --> embryonic RBC --> definitive RBC --> liver, thymus, spleen, bone marrow --> fetal RBC --> adult RBC
33
where does Physis/epiphyseal/growth plate form cartilage vs mineralized?
epiphysis vs diaphysis
34
spina bifida vs spondyliothesis vs hemivertebra
lamina/pedicle don't form --> vertebra canal covered by skin = occulta, open to environ --> open vs oss center in pedicle don't fuse w/ vertebral body; in L5-S1 --> lordosis vs 1 chond center in vertebral body --> half turns to bone but other can't b/c no model --> wedge --> scoliosis
35
joint formation: IZ to fibrous vs cartilaginous vs synovial
wk 6-8: strong dense connective tissue vs hyaline or fibrocartilage --> less flexible vs cavity --> joint space, outer layer --> dense outer capsule and ligaments, inner lining --> synovial membrane
36
rib formation vs malformation
small projections from mesenchyme grow laterally --> costal process, in thoracic --> ribs vs change in number (lumbar, cervical ribs), change in attachment site, fused ribs
37
sternal formation vs malformation
parietal lateral mesoderm --> sternal bars --> manubrium, body, xiphoid vs cleft sternum (sternal bars don't fuse), pectus excavatum (dorsal sternum displacement)
38
neuro vs viscerocranium formation
cranial neural crest mesenchyme + paraxial mesoderm; inc in size b/c brain growth vs + pharyngeal arches. face change in size b/c eruption of teeth and growth of paranasal sinuses
39
suture vs fontanelle
dense fibrous connective tissue separating flat bones of skull; fuse in adulthood vs where sutures meet
40
5 sutures vs 6 fontanelles
coronal, sagittal, lambdoid, squamous, frontal vs anterior, posterior, paired sphenoid, paired mastoid; sphenoid and posterior fuse at 6mo, anterior and mastoid fuse at 2yo
41
craniosynostosis vs microencephaly
premature suture closure --> no further growth --> abnl head shape vs abnl brain growth --> premature suture closure --> small head
42
oxy vs plagio vs brachy vs scaphcephaly
premature lambdoid & coronal suture closure --> tower shaped head vs premature lambdoid & coronal suture closure on 1 side vs premature coronal suture closure --> square shaped head vs premature sagittal suture closure --> wedged shaped head
43
vertebrae formation
wk4: sclerotome surrounds noto and NT wk5: sclerotome disintegrates --> nucleus pulposus wk6: chondrification centers form in mesenchyme --> make model of bone wk7: oss center surrounding noto make vertebral body via endochondral ossification wk8: oss center surrounding NT make vertebral arches apex of arch = cartilaginous, arch fuse w/ body at 3-5y
44
bone formation: intramembranous ossification vs endochondral ossification
make flat bones of head: frontal, parietal, squamous of temporal; max, man, zygo, nasal, palatine; mesenchyme (undiff neural crest cells and mesoderm) aggregate to fibrous sheets --> osteoblasts --> make flexible unmineralized osteoid matrix --> osteoid mineralizes and traps osteoblasts --> bone and osteocytes vs chondrocytes make hyaline cartilage model w/ thin perichondrium --> mineralizes to cortical bone w/ periosteum --> primary oss center in spongy bone --> secondary oss center in epiphysis --> inner bone vasc to make bone marrow
45
sirenomelia
fusion of the lower limbs and malformation of the pelvic organs --> fatal. caused by insufficient mesoderm formed in the caudal region during gastrulation
46
situs inversus vs totalis vs partialis
internal organs are reversed (right to left) due to abnormal nodal secretion during gastrulation vs both body cavities affected vs one body cavity affected
47
holoprosencephaly
malformation of the head and brain, first established during gastrulation
48
preimplantation vs chemical preg
loss of baby before implantation vs loss of baby after implantation but before heartbeat, still hCG pos
