Early Embryology Flashcards
ovulation occurs ______ days into the ovarian cycle where 1 ______ is released from the ovary and swept up by fimbriae into the _______

the sperm travel time from cervix to oviduct is about ______ to ______
30 min, 6 days
the results of fertilization include a _________, gender ________, and ________ initiation
diploid number of chromosomes, determination, cleavage
fertilization happens when a sperm makes contact with the egg and releases enzymes from its _______ to degrade the _______, then the sperm binds to the egg so that the sperm and egg ________ merge, the egg then releases chemcials to prevent ________, the sperm and egg nuclei then combine to make a ______
acrosome, zona pellucida, membranes, other sperm from entering, diploid zygote
after fertilization the egg and sperm are now considered a single celled ______
zygote
the results of fertilization include the formation of a _______, _______ number of chromosomes, _______ determination, and __________ initiation

cleavage begins around ____ hours after fertilization
30
the zygote repeatedly divides through mitosis into 2 cells (_______), then 4 cells (_______), then 8 cells, 16 etc and continues
blastula, blastula
once a zygote divides into 16 to 32 cells it is considered a ______
morula

3
The morula becomes an advanced morula at around ____ days after fertilization
4
around 5 days post fertilization, the morula forms a hallow ball of cells called ______ that contains _____ in the center

uterus
the blastocyst sheds the ________ beofore implantation
zona pellucida
the blastocyst implants into the ______
