Fields: Fertilization Flashcards
primordial germ cells undergo _____ during the weeks 4-5 and are now called oogonia
mitosis
when does mitosis cease for all oogonia
5th month
when does meiosis begin for all oogonia
5th month
when oogonia go through meiosis I what do they become
primary oocytes
what happens at birth for primary oocytes
they stop at prophase I of meiosis I
at puberty (age 12-13), what happens
meiosis I resumes and completes and meiosis II begins
what forms when meiosis II begins after puberty
secondary oocytes
23 pairs of homologous chromosomes are present in each cell
diploid
There are 2 sister chromatids/homologous chromosome or 2 x 23 = 46 chromatids
2n
1 of each pair of homologous chromosomes in each cell
1n (haploid)
when do breast buds start to form and also pubic hair
age 9-11
when does acne first appear; armpit hair; increase in height at fastest rate
after age 12
first period arrives; puberty begins (meiosis II begins)
around age 8-13
number of eggs will decrease from 7-10 million to ovulate only ____ throughout an individuals lifetime
400
when does mitosis of spermatogonia start
at puberty (9-14 yrs)
Type A or Type B is used for spermatogonia
Type B
after mitosis, what do spermatogonia become
primary spermatocytes
what do primary spermatocytes undergo to become secondary spermatocytes
meiosis I and II
_____ undergo differentiation and become active sperm (spermatozoa)
spermatids
males produce_____throughout lifetime
sperm
after meiosis II in spermatogenesis, what do you get
4 spermatids (4 cells)
after meiosis II in females, what do you get
1 egg (1 cell), with 3 polar bodies
haploid egg + haploid sperm=
diploid cell (zygote)
spermiogenesis
spermatid to spermatozoan (sperm)
where do spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis occur
seminiferous tubules
compartment adjacent to basement membrane
basal compartment
compartment adjacent to the lumen
Adluminal compartment
prevents harmful blood borne agents from reaching the developing spermatogonia
blood testis barrier
____ junctions b/t sertoli cells create blood testis barrier
tight junctions
nondisjunction causing 47 XXY
gynecomastia
small testes
low testosterone
sterile
Klinefelter’s syndrome
nondisjunction causing 47 XYY
low weight and taller than normal
delayed puberty
acne
lower IQ
Jacob’s syndrome
nondisjunction involving 45 XO
small stature
sterile
web neck
Turner’s syndrome
Flattened granulosa cells that surround primordial germ cells
Primordial follicle
Cuboid cells.
They secretes estrogen
Primary follicle
Acellular membrane secreted by follicle c
membrane granulosa
Acellular membrane between the egg and follicle cells. Formed from secretory. products of the egg and follicle cell.
Zona Pellucida
Cells adjacent to the membrane granulosa.
Derived from differentiation of fibroblast.
They secret testosterone.
Theca cells
primordial, primary, growing, antral follicle with what stage of oocyte development
primary oocyte
mature/Graffian follicle with what stage of oocyte development
secondary oocyte
Once the population of eggs becomes very low, the woman enters ____
menopause
egg breaks through what two layers to be released from Graffian follicle into peritoneal cavity
stigma and mesovarium
postovulatory follicle becomes what
corpus hemorrhagicum
theca and granulosa cells mix and become ____ and secrete progesterone
corpus luteum
Mittelschmerz
lower abd pain associated with ovulation, and occurs midway through menstrual cycle
what does corpus luteum become if fertilization doesnt occur
corpus albicans
where does fertilization occur in females
ampulla of fallopian (uterine) tube
occurs in female reproductive tract; membrane proteins will be shed from the sperm and head of sperm (acrosome) exposed
capacitation
egg is ovulated where
peritoneal cavity
what picks up ovulated egg
fimbriae
occurs when sperm comes in contact with follicle cells of the corona radiate in the ampulla of the uterine tube.
When contact is made with follicular cells, the acrosomal cap disintegrates exposing surface protein on the acrosome membrane
acrosome reaction
sperm surface proteins bind to receptors on ______ of egg
zona pellucida
Scaring of uterine tube from ____ can prevent transport of egg and sperm
STDs
The sperm penetrates the corona radiate and comes in contact with the egg membrane. This creates an electrical gradient that knocks other sperm off
fast block
cortical granules (blue box) are released into the perivitelline space (PVS) between the zona pellucida (ZP) and the egg membrane. Fluid follows the granules into this space, and enlarging the space. Makes it harder for the sperm to reach the egg.
cortical reaction
Hardening of the zona pellucida
zona reaction
why are there 3 ways to prevent polyspermy
to prevent molar pregnancies
