Q

Normal cells duplicate themselves via Mitosis, then meiosis occurs in germ cells to produce haploid offspring. Describe the process in terms of ploidy and N.

A

(normal cell division where a diploid cell (2N) replicates its DNA (becoming 4N) and undergoes a single division to yield 2 diploid daughter cells. The diploid germ cell replicates its DNA to become 4N but undergoes 2 successive (qualitatively different) nuclear and cell divisions to yield 4 x 1N or 4 haploid offspring.

Q

What is gametogenesis (gamete formation)?

A

the process of formation and development of specialized generative cells,gametes(oocytes/sperms) from precursor cells. This development, involving the chromosomesandcytoplasmof the gametes, prepares these sex cells for fertilization. During gametogenesis, the chromosome number is reduced by half and the shape of the cells is altered.

Q

What happens with the secondary oocyte during ovulation?

A

~3 hours before ovulation, 2° oocyte enters meiosis II and arrests in metaphase
Will complete meiosis II upon fertilization

Smooth m. contractions help to expel 2° oocyte

Surrounding the oocyte is the zona pellucida & corona radiata (all ovulated together)

Beginning at puberty, cyclic FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) + LH (luteinizing hormone) released from the anterior pituitary gland

FSH (triggers follicular growth) + LH surge (triggers ovulation)

The mature Oocyte is released from the ovary during ovulation

Q

What is capacitation?

A

(takes place within uterine wall)
Begins after ejaculation is initiated by substances secreted in the uterus and uterine tubes. Capacitation is required to mature the sperm allowing removal of the glycoprotein coat and seminal proteins from the surface of the sperm acrosome to allow the acrosomal reaction to occur.

hyperactivation of the sperm (increased activity) happens between this and the acrosomal reaction

occurs when the capacitated sperm acrosome binds to the zona pellucida. The acrosome begins to perforate in the presence of several enzymes and substances, breaking down the membranes producing apertures. Several enzymes are released to facilitate fertilization.

Q

When and how does the morula become a blastocyst?

A

By four days of development, the morula begins to absorb fluid. A large cavity called theblastocyst cavity (synonym = blastocoel)forms within the morula. It is now called a blastocyst.

The embryoblast cells (which was the inner cell mass) then form a compact mass at one side of this cavity, and the trophoblast (which was the outer cell mass) organizes into a thin, single-layered epithelium. The side of the blastocyst containing the inner cell mass is called theembryonic poleof the blastocyst, and the opposite side is called the abembryonic pole.

Q

Ectopic pregnancy

A

Occasionally, a blastocyst implants in the abdomen, on the surface of the ovary, within the oviduct, or at an abnormal site in the uterus. Theseectopic pregnanciesoften threaten the life of the mother because blood vessels that form at the abnormal site are apt to rupture as a result of growth of the embryo and placenta.

Typically, ectopic pregnancy is revealed by symptoms of abdominal pain and/or vaginal bleeding.

Drugs or surgical intervention is usually required to interrupt the pregnancy.

During this time we will see the trophoblast differentiating into 2 layers, the embryoblast forming 2 layers, the extraembryonic mesoderm splitting into 2 layers, and 2 cavities forming. These membranes and cavities serve in the maintenance of the developing embryo. (“Week of 2s”)

Overview:
-Implantation completed-fully implanted by week 2

-Trophoblast differentiates into 2 layers

  • Embryoblast forms 2 layers
    • then 2 cavities form

Q

How is the Amniotic cavity formed? When?

A

Fluid begins to collect between cells of the epiblast and overlying trophoblast (~day 9)
-Amniotic cavity

A layer of epiblast cells expands toward the embryonic pole and differentiates into a thin membrane separating the new cavity from the cytotrophoblast. This membrane is the lining of the amnion. Although the amniotic cavity is at first smaller than the blastocyst cavity, it expands steadily. By the eighth week, the amnion encloses the entire embryo.

Q

Hypoblast cells migrating

Trophoblastic lacunae form in syncytiotrophoblast

Development of primary yolk sac

69
Q

What is the coagulation plug? What does its formation mark in terms of implantation?

A

light tissue, mark that implantation completed entire embryo embedded in uterine wall

70
Q

How is the primary yolk sac formed?

A

First wave of hypoblast cells migrate to line blastocyst cavity; forming Heuser’s membrane (exocoelomic membrane)
-Once lined, cavity is called primary yolk sac

71
Q

Heuser’s membrane

A

exocoelomic membrane formed after the first wave of hypoblast cells migrates to line the blastocyst cavity

-membrane of primary yolk sac (primary umbilical vesicle)

72
Q

Why does the embryo need the primary yolk sac?

A

As the embryo is developing during the early days it is reliant on the primary yolk sac for nutrient transfer and for the development of the definitive or secondary yolk sac.

73
Q

While the primary yolk sac is forming, what two other events are occurring simultaneously?

A

Formation of extraembryonic mesoderm

Trophoblastic lacunae anastomose with maternal capillaries

74
Q

What is the large cavity called that develops in extraembryonic mesoderm?

A

Chorionic cavity

75
Q

Formation of Chorionic Cavity

A

the second cavity to form, formed by splitting of the extraembryonic mesoderm into two layers, then cavity continues to expand

-separates the embryo with its attached amnion and yolk sac from the outer wall of the blastocyst, now called the chorion.

76
Q

Formation of the extraembryonic mesoderm

A

Forms as primary yolk sac is forming

-filled blastocyst cavity with loosely arranged cells; which will then expand between the amnion and cytotrophoblast, eventually forming around the entire embryo proper and later going on to become some portions of the placenta as well as the umbilical cord (connecting stalk)

77
Q

What are the two layers of extraembryonic mesoderm after splitting during formation of the chorionic cavity?

A

The extraembryonic mesoderm splits into two layers:

1) Extraembryonic splanchnic mesoderm: coating the outside of Heuser’s membrane
2) Extraembryonic somatic mesoderm: lining the inside of the cytotrophoblast. The space between the two layers is the chorionic cavity.

78
Q

How is the secondary (definitive) yolk sac formed?

A

A second wave of hypoblast cells migrate pushing the primary yolk sac & breaking it up/causing out pocketing, gets pinched away, forming the secondary yolk sac

79
Q

What happens to the primary yolk sac as the second yolk sac forms?

A

As the definitive yolk sac develops on day 13, the primary yolk sac breaks up and is reduced to a collection of vesicles at the abembryonic end of the chorionic cavity.

80
Q

Where can primordial germ cells first be identified in humans?

A

primordial germ cellscan first be identified in humans in the wall of the yolk sac

81
Q

What is the connecting stalk? What does it develop into?

A

By the end of the second week, the definitive (2a) yolk sac loses contact with the remnants of the primary yolk sac, and the bilaminar embryonic disc with its dorsal amnion and ventral yolk sac is suspended in the chorionic cavity by a thick connecting stalk.

Connecting stalk will develop into the umbilical cord with development of blood vessels

82
Q

From which embryonic structure does the umbilical cord form?

A

Connecting stalk (with development of blood vessels)

83
Q

How is the uteroplacental circulation established?

A

-Trophoblastic lacunae open within syncytiotrophoblast & maternal capillaries expand and anastomose with these lacunae

  • Cytotrophoblast proliferates locally & forms extensions that grow into blood-filled lacunae
  • -Outgrowth is called a primary villus

A

displace/replace hypoblast cells (cells lining yolk sac)

Hypoblast cells are fairly thin and not robust; the migrating epiblast cells which displace/replace the hypoblast cells are much more robust and substantial; the same goes for the epiblast cells which remain in the epiblast and do not migrate, they will also become more robust to form the ectoderm
