Q

What regarding cost is a disadvantage in estrous synchronization

114
Q

Capacitation

A

-biochemical change

Sperm transport uterotubal junction

A

-limits number of spem reaching oviduct
-acts a second filter
-sperm reservoir

116
Q

How is the sperm transport affected by the utero-tubal junction

A

estrogen-allows cells to flow towards oviduct
progesteron-flows towards uterine horn to encourage embryo

117
Q

Sperm transport-oviduct phase

A

-only hundreds to thousands survive
Transport by contraction and fluid currents by cillia
-sperm pool in isthmus

118
Q

Endogenous factors

A

-age
-sperm maturation
-energy stores
-cell surface

119
Q

Fate of unsuccessful sperm in cow repro tract

A

73% recovers
-majority is in mucous discharge

120
Q

Transport of oocyte

A

cilia
fluid currents
rhythmic segmented peristaltic contractions

121
Q

what is the pattern between the time between ovulation and insemination

A

the longer timr the less fertilization occurs

122
Q

First Fertilization step

A

the sperm squeezes through cells left over from the follice

123
Q

Second fertilization step

A

the sperms acrosomal enzymes digest jelly coat to penetrate the zona pellucida

124
Q

third fertilization step

A

proteins on the sperm head bind to egg receptors

125
Q

fourth fertilization step

A

the plama membrane of sperm and egg fuse

126
Q

Fifth fertilization step

A

the sperm nucleus enters the egg cytoplasm

127
Q

sixth fertilization

A

a feriliziation envelope forms

128
Q

seventh ferilization

A

the nuclei of the spperm and egg fuse

129
Q

Acrosome reaction

A

-penetration of cumulus granulosa cells and corona radiate
-fusion of plasma membrane and outer acrosomal membrane
-exposure of inner actosomal membrane
-penetration of zonna pellucida

130
Q

Zona reaction and vitelline block

A

-initiated by penetrarion of sperm
-release of cortical granules into perivitelline space
-reorganization of zona and vitelline membrane
-enzymes released to harden the zona pellucida
-ZP3 sperm receptors inactivatied
-prevents polyspermy
-efficency decreased by age and temp

131
Q

Cleavage

A

mitotic divisions with no increase in cell mass

132
Q

Blastomeres are equal

A

-increase in number but not size or shape

133
Q

Totipotency

A

capable of producing a complete individual

134
Q

Morula

A

compact ball of cells of aproximetly equal size

135
Q

Blastocyt

A

cells have rearranged to form compartments

136
Q

Inner Cell Mass

A

gives rise to the embryo

137
Q

Trophectoderm

A

give rise to the placenta

138
Q

blastocoele

A

fluid filled cavity

139
Q

Hatching of the blastocyst

A

-removal of the zona pellucida
-allows for expansion and attachment of the blastocyst

140
Q

Dizygotic

A

fertilization of 2 ova (non-identical)

141
Q

Monozygotic

A

splitting of one ovum
-complete seperation of cells during early cleavage
-formation and latter separation of 2 embryonic vesicles

142
Q

gastrulation

A

-blastocyst rearanges
-needs to go from a glob of cells to various layers

143
Q

Antiluteolytic

A

porevents or block luteolysis

144
Q

Luteotropic

A

stimulates CL to continue to function even in the faceoff PGF

145
Q

Maternal Recogniation of pregnacy

A

signal originates from the tropectoderm
-signal acts directly on the endometrium and or ovary
-once signal sent, female will remain in a pregnant state even if conceptus dies
