fetus vs newborn

A
  • Fetus - an organism that breathes no air, does not use the
    digestive tract and lives in a sterile environment
  • Newborn - an air-breathing organism with a functional GI tract that quickly becomes colonized by microbial flora

Q

meiosis

A

§ A diploid cell (germ cell) undergoes meiosis to produce a
unique haploid gamete

  • Unique–>crossing-over between maternal and paternal chromatids during prophase I to end up with “mixed” chromatids
  • “mixed” = some paternal, some maternal genes

sperm

  • Meiosis is not completed in an oocyte until the sperm penetrates
    the oocyte

Q

simple meiosis

A

meiosis in humans is a division process that takes us from a diploid cell—one with two sets of chromosomes—to haploid cells—ones with a single set of chromosomes. In humans, the haploid cells made in meiosis are sperm and eggs.

Q

A

zona pellucida

  • Sperm cell penetrates the zona pellucida and “injects” its genetic material into the oocyte

§ Afterwards, the zona pellucida becomes impenetrable to other sperm cells (can’t have “double fertilization”)

Q

how do sperm get into the oocyte

  2. when get to zone pellucid, trigger acrosome reaction. sperm secrete digestive enzymes to break down glycoprotein membrane of zone pellucid to get into plasma membrane
  3. get into plsama membrane and fuse with oocyte. sperm releases its nucleus into the cytoplasm of the oocyte

Q

how does the blastocyst get to the fundus of the uterus from the ampulla of there uterine tube

A

from increased in progesterone after ovulation and from cilliary movement in “wave”

49
Q

zona pellucida roles

A

barrier, communication, immunologic defense, signal

§ Barrier that ensures that only one sperm fertilizes an oocyte
§ Porous – allows communication between the embryo and the maternal reproductive structures
§ Protects the embryo from immunologic defences
§ Acts as a signal to help with differentiation of
trophoblast cells
§ Prevents premature implantation of the embryo
§ Prevents the blastomeres from dissociating

50
Q

what does the zone pellucida help prevent

A

early implantation of the embryo which leads to ectopic pregnancy

51
Q

when does embryo hatch out of zone pellucida

A

day 6

52
Q

how does the zone pellucida get broken down so that the blastocyst can hatch through

A

§ The trophoblastic cells just over the embryoblast seem to secrete/produce particular proteinases that weaken the wall of the ZP
§ The blastocyst “hatches” through this defect in the ZP and is ready to contact the endometrium and implant itself within it

53
Q

how does blastrocyst where to endometrial epithelium (2 parts)

A

endometrial epithelium has mucin and pinopods

trophoblast binds pinopods

adhesion via selectin (binds mucins) and integral binding

54
Q

when trophoblast contacts endometrial epithelium which 2 layers are formed; and which is inner and outer

A

cytotrophoblast- inner layer
syncytiotrophoblast- outer layer

55
Q

at which day does blastocyst contact endometrial epithelium

A

day 6

56
Q

how blastocyst gets implanted

A

synctiotrophoblast becomes multinuclear cell and invades endometrial stroma

  • Syncytiotrophoblast develops into a multinuclear cell “mass” where the borders between individual cells are indistinct
  • The syncytiotrophoblast invades quickly and deeply into the endometrial stroma (area under the epithelial cell)
57
Q

what happens when synctiotrophoblast invade endometrial stoma (2 functions)

A
  1. form villi via proteinases and adhesion molecules (later becomes placenta)
  2. secret human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to prevent shedding of endometrium

§ Invasion into the endometrial stroma and induction/formation of villi (later becomes the placenta)
* Proteinases and adhesion molecules perform this role §

Secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
* hCG prevents the shedding of the endometrium (and loss of the embryo) by maintaining ovarian secretion of steroid hormones (i.e. progesterone)
* hCG is the hormone detected in pregnancy tests

58
Q

what 2 layers does the embryoblast divide into when synctiotrophoblast invades into the stroma

A

epiblast and hypoblast

§ Epiblast
* This layer will become embryo
proper

§ Hypoblast

(intraembryonic mesoderm) – a layer found between the ectoderm and mesoderm

68
Q

day 10

§ The embryo is completely embedded within the endometrium § Surrounded by syncytiotrophoblast cells

Q

which cells undergo decidulatization and what do they become

A

stomal cells –> decidual cells

71
Q

decidual cells purpose

A

get glycogen and lipids. contact syncytiotrophoblast= apoptosis and release nutrients needed for embryonic growth

  • The stromal cells (below the epithelium) undergo decidualization
    § Now known as decidual cells
    § Decidual cells accumulate glycogen and lipids throughout the uterus
    § The decidual cells that the syncytiotrophoblast contact undergo apoptosis, releasing stored nutrients needed for embryonic growth (until the placenta is better established)

amniotic cavity

73
Q

what enlarges and gives rise to the amnioblast

A

74
Q

how is extra embryonic mesoderm formed

A

§ New class of cells begin to form and migrate between the hypoblast-derived cells (yolk sac or extraembryonic endoderm) and the cytotrophoblast. These cells form extraembryonic mesoderm

75
Q

Q

where does extra embryonic mesoderm develop

Q

where is the extra embryonic coelom formed

between extra embryonic mesodermal cells

79
Q

3 fluid filled cavities in week 2/3

A
  1. umbilical vesicles/ yolk sac
  2. amniotic cavity
  3. extra embryonic coelom

§ Umbilical vesicle – as the embryo develops the primary umbilical vesicle becomes the smaller secondary umbilical vesicle
§ The amniotic cavity – found above the epiblast
