Embryo final Flashcards
Phases of mitosis
- Interphase
- Prophase
- Prometaphase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
- Cytokinesis
Meiosis takes place in
Germ cells
Interphase is when we duplicate the DNA
So in meiosis we only have one phase of Interphase.
Spermiogenesis is
the transformation of Spermatids into Spermatozoa
What happens in the transformation of spermatids into spematozoa
formation of the acrosome, which covers half of the
nuclear surface and contains enzymes to assist in
penetration of the egg and its surrounding layers
during fertilization
condensation of the nucleus
formation of neck, middle piece, and tail
shedding of most of the cytoplasm.
Corpus letuem produces
Progesterone
Spermatozoa must undergo……….. to able to fertilize
- capacitation
2. Acrosome Reaction
Acrosin enzyme function
allows sperm to penetrate the
zona
Inner cells of the morula are called
Embryoblast
Outercells of the Morula are called
Trophoblast
Implantation happens in
Epithelial cells of the uterine mucosa
The wall of the uterus consists of three layers:
endometrium or mucosa lining the inside wall
myometrium, a thick layer of smooth muscle;
perimetrium, the peritoneal covering lining the outside wall
Which layers of the endometrium disappear at the menstrual phase
Spongy and compact layers.
Epiblast gives rise to
- Amniotic cavity
2. amnioblast cells which are the roof of the amniotic cavity
Amniotic cavity floor and roof
floor: epiblast cells
roof: amnioblast cells
