Exam 2 Flashcards
Which stage are a majority of embryonic hormones produced
Blastocyst stage
Where is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) produced
Trophectoderm
Function of hCG
Stimulating the gonads
What effect does the hCG have on the gonads
Positive effect
When is hCG produced in the stage of gestation
Early stage, detected in blood on day 8
Pathway of hCG
Fetus produces hCG, acts on CL to produce progesterone, helps embryonic development
What hormone does the human pregnancy detect in urine
Hormone hCG
Which hormone was the first that was used to manipulate reproductive cycles of diff species
Equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG)
Which hormone is only found in ruminants
Interferon Tau (INFT)
IFNT works directly where
Uterine endometrium, stays within uterus
IFNT function
Blocks smooth muscle contractions from oxytocin, which blocks PGF2a
First step of embryonic development
Fertilization
Second stage of embryonic development
Fusion
Third stage of embryonic development
2-cell stage
Fourth stage of embryonic development
4-cell stage
Fifth stage of embryonic development
8-cell stage
Sixth stage of embryonic development
Morula
Seventh stage of embryonic development
Blastocyst
In the blastocyst, what does the inner cell mass become
The fetus
In the blastocyst, what does the trophectoderm become
The placenta
Endoderm of the embryo creates
The hypothalamus, PP, AP
Mesoderm of the embryo consists of which systems
Muscle, skeleton, cardiovascular, reproductive systems
Ectoderm of the embryo consists of
Skin, hair, nervous system
What does the endoderm make
Blastocoel
What does the mesoderm make
Inner cell mass
What does the ectoderm make
Trophetoderm
Gastrulation definition
When the inner cell mass cells intermingle to create the fetus
What does gastrulation result in
Formation of PP
Two different types of cells
Somatic cells and germ cells
Somatic cells consists of
All cells within the body except germ cells
Characteristics of somatic cells
Diploid, autosomes, sex chromosomes, mitosis
Germ cells consist of
Oognonia and spermatogonia
Germ cells characteristics
Haploid, originates from primordial germ cells, mitosis and meiosis
Transportation pathway of primordial cells becoming germ cells
Originates within yolk sac, migrates through and behind hind gut, into gonadal ridge
When the primordial cells reach the gonadal ridge, what occurs
Formation of primary sex cords
What happens when primordial germ cells undergo mitosis in the gonadal ridge
Increase germ cells and forms primary sex cords
When the primary sex cords are produced, what occurs next?
Gonadal ridge is sealed off by tunica albuginia
What gender is paramesonephros (mullerian duct)
Female
What gender is mesonephros (wolfian duct)
Male
Indifferent gonads contains both
Mullerian ducts and wolfian ducts
The mullerian duct becomes
Oviduct
The wolfian duct becomes
Vas deferens and epididymis
What happens to indifferent gonads when changes occur
Where one portion of the tract develops/regress for male/female
Alfred jost’s experiment
Consisted of removing gonads of adult rabbis
Why is the y chromosome important
Testes determining factor
All oocytes carry x chromosome, but where does the y chromosome come from
Sperm cells determine the sex of their offspring with the chromosome
Where does the external genitalia develop from
Ectoderm
What regulates external genitalia
Sex steroids
