fertilization and early embryonic development Flashcards
atresia definition
death of follicle
what restarts oogenesis during prophase 1 rest
puberty attainment
what restarts oogenesis after metaphase 2 rest
ovulation
what restarts oogenesis to finish meiosis 2
sperm binds to zona pellucida
acrosomal reaction
sperm binds to zona pellucida
where does capacitation initiate, where is it completed
uterus, completed in oviduct
retrograde loss
sperm spilling out of vagina after deposition
what is capacitation
removal of the cytoplasmic droplet, sperm competent to bind to oocyte
what helps initiate capacitation
hyperactivation
how long does capacitation and hyperactivation take
1-6 hours
polyspermy block
cortical reaction, prevents more than one sperm from entering oocyte
events that sperm must undergo before fertilization
-capacitation
-hyperactivation
-binding to ZP
-acrosomal reaction
event that happens after fertilization
pronuclei formation
morula phase
32-64 cells
blastocyst phase
cells uncountable and condensed, fluid pocket formed
