Hypoblast
A fertilised oocyte is referred to as a:
Zygote
Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone is produced by cells derived from where?
Trophoblast
Match the developmental stage with its correct term:
Zygote:
Morula:
Blastocyst:
Bilaminar embryonic disc:
Differentiation into trophoblast and embryoblast
Fusion of male and female prouclei
Differentiation into epiblast and hypoblast
Rapid mitotic cell division
1) Zygote: Fusion of male and female prouclei
2) Morula: Rapid mitotic cell division
3) Blastocyst: Differentiation into trophoblast and embryoblast
4) Bilaminar embryonic disc: Differentiation into epiblast and hypoblast

Epiblast
What process maintains secretion of progesterone following successful implantation?
Corpus luteum
The formation of the zygote is characterised by what?
Fusion of the male and female pronuclei
What does the placenta form?
Trophoblast
What must the spermatozoan penetrate to fertilise the oocyte?
Zona pellucida
Question 13

Zona pellucida
What is the most common site for fertilisation of the oocyte to occur?
Ampulla of the uterine tube
Where does the blastocyst typically hatch from the zona pellucida
Uterine cavity of the body of the uterus
What is the importance of meiosis in human development?
Meiosis halves the number of chromosomes in the resulting gametes to ensure embryo forms from maternal and paternal chromosomes
What is the significance of menopause in the (biological) woman?
Women are born with finite number of gamete that begin to mature at the onset of puberty. Conversely, men produce an infinite number of sperm and remain fertile throughout life. Menopause (45-55yrs) marks the end of ova maturation (no more eggs released)
