Fertilization-5 weeks Flashcards
function of meiosis
halves chromosomes - 23 pair to singles
of chomosomes, autosomes, sex chromosomes in somatic cell
46 chromosomes, 23 pairs, 22 pairs of autosomes, 2 sex
of chomosomes, autosomes, sex chromosomes in gamete
23 chromosomes, 23 singles, 22 single of autosomes, 1 sex
proportion of newborns with abnormal chromosome #
1:160
define non-disjunction
failure of proper separation leading to aneuploidy
end cells of non-disjunction in Mei 1
2 with 24 (leads to trisomy) and 2 with 22 (leads to monosomy)
end cells of non-disjunciton in Mei 2
2 normal, 1 with 24, 1 with 22
actions in 2 phases of spermatogenisis
- spermatogonia>Mei 1 and 2>spermatids
2. spermatids>spermiogenesis>spermatozoa
sperm cell production per day
50-150 million
production points and amounts of seminal fluid
seminal vesicles (60%), prostate (30), bulbourethrea glands (10)
names for lack of sperm and abnormal sperm
lack -azoospermia
weird - oliogspermia
normal site of fert.
ampulla of uterine tube
life span of sperm
2-6 days
life span of oocyte
24 hours
function of sperm capacitation
- egg attach
2. acrosome reaction
stages of oogenisis and timeline
primary oocyte>9/10 of mei 1 (fetal, ends at ovulation)>secondary oocyte>mei 2 (just before ovulaiton, only complete if fert.)>ovum
contents of primordial follicle
primary oocyte arrested in prophase until ovulation
layers of primary follicles and function
primary oocyte
zona pellucida - extracellular matrix
follicular cells - secrete estrogen
theca produce androgens
diff between primary and sec. follicles
larger and have antrum (fluid filled spaces)
time for primary follicle to dev into mature secondary follicle (graffian)
3 months
time of meiosis 2 in oocyte
just before ovulation (out of ovary)
creation of meiosis 1
secondary oocyte and 1st polar body
remnants of ovulation
corpus luteum
stages of fertiliazation
sperm-zone binding>acrosome reaction>sperm egg binding
define zona binding
sites on sperm cell membrane bind with zona pellucida
define acrosome reaction
outer part of acrosome fuses and release enzymes to penetrate zona pellucida
