Q

What happens in the transformation of spermatids into spematozoa

A

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.

Q

The wall of the uterus consists of three layers:

A

endometrium or mucosa lining the inside wall

Q

exocoelomic

(Heuser’s) membrane

A

appears in the hypoblast

17
Q

Extraembryonic mesoderm is Formed by

A

Cytotrophoblast

18
Q

Syncytiotrophoblast is formed by

A

Cytotrophoblast

19
Q

extraembryonic mesoderm arises

A
  1. extraembryonic splanchnopleuric mesoderm, which covers the yolk sac and the germ disc
  2. extraembryonic somatopleuric mesoderm, which covers the amniotic cavity and lines the inner aspect of the cytotrophoblast.
20
Q

Chorion

A

The extraembryonic somatopleuric mesoderm together with the surrounding cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast form

21
Q

DON’T MESS UP THE NOTIONS!!

A

-bilaminar or trilaminar germ disc is not the same with bilaminar and trilaminar blastocyst stage.

22
Q

Implantation site

A

anterior or posterior surface of uterus
Abnormal sites: abdominal cavity, Douglas pouch,
uterine tube (mostly ampulla)-95% of
extrauterine/ectopic pregnancies, omentum, ovary
When the blastocyst implants close to the internal
opening of cervix, resulting placenta praevia –
severe bleeding during second part of pregnancy
and delivery.

23
Q

Mesoderm

A

refers to cells derived from the epiblast and extraembryonic tissues.

24
Q

Mesenchyme

A

refers to loosely organized embryonic connective tissue regardless of origin.

25
Q

At its cephalic end, the foregut is temporarily bounded by

A

buccopharyngeal membrane

26
Q

vitelline duct is

A

The way of communication for the midgut and yolk sac

27
Q

Duration pf pregnancy

A

280 days, or 40 weeks after the onset of the last normal menstrual period.
266 days or 38 weeks after fertilization.

28
Q

Fetal period is

A

9th week to birth

29
Q

During the 6th week

A

intestinal loops cause a large swelling (herniation) in the umbilical cord,

30
Q

placental membrane layers

A

the endothelial lining of fetal vessels;

the connective tissue in the villus core;

the cytotrophoblastic layer;

the syncytium

31
Q

primitive umbilical ring

At the fifth week of development, the following structures pass through the ring

A
  1. connecting stalk,
  2. yolk stalk (vitelline duct)
  3. canal connecting intraembryonic and extraembryonic cavities
