after ovulation the oocyte must be fertilized within how many hours
24
the oocyte is moved through the uterine tubes by the

chemotaxis
sperm and oocyte unite through what process
fertilization
the cell resulting from the union of the sperm and oocyte is
zygote
the oocyte is surrounded by a protective barrier of cells called the
corona radiate
the germinal period covers what weeks of development
first 2

embryonic
how long after fertilization does implantation occur
7 days

trophoblast
the organ responsible for the swapping of materials between the mother and fetus is the
placenta
the layer which invades the uterine wall is the
syncytiotrophoblast
the linings of the lungs and GI tract will develop from which germ layer
endoderm
skeletal muscles and bones will develop from which germ layer
mesoderm
the epidermis will develop from which germ layer
ectoderm
skeletal muscles will develop from immature cells called
myoblasts
the upper and lower limbs will begin to develop at the beginning of what week
4
before birth there is a hole between the two atria called the
foramen ovale
the second stage of labor involes
the baby exciting the body
premature babies will most likely have trouble with what system
respiratory
what is needed to reduce the attraction of water molecules in the alveoli
surfactant
twins resulting from one fertilization are
monozygotic
