Q

describe the acrosome reaction?

A
  • occurs as sperm approaches zona pellucida ( around ovum)
  • enzyme acrosin is released to perforate ZP and digest proteoglycan which make up ZP
  • plasma mem of sperm and ovum fuse so sperm’s genetic info is released into ovum

Q

34
Q

describe the formation of notochordal process.

A

-mesodermal cells from primitive node migrate toward the rostral end (head end) of the embryo and form a hollow tube of cells in the midline-notochordal process

35
Q

how is the notochord formed?

A

the notochordal process cells will proliferate and detach from the endoderm to from a solid chord of cells-notochord

36
Q

what does the paraxial mesoderm differentiate into?

A

skeleton and muscles

37
Q

what does the intermediate mesoderm differentiate into?

A

41
Q

what is neurulation?

A

neural tube formation

42
Q

what is the first step of neurulation?

A

1- neuroectoderm tissues differentiate from ectoderm an thicken into neural plate
-neural plate border separates the ectoderm from the neural plate

43
Q

how is the neural crest formed in the second step of neurulation?

A

2-the neural plate bends dorsally, with 2 ends eventually joining at the neural plate borders which are now referred to as the neural crest

44
Q

what is the 3rd step of neurulation?

A

3-the closure of the neural tube disconnects the neural crest from the epidermis
-neural crest cells differentiate to form most of the peripheral nervous system

45
Q

what happens to the notochord and mesoderm in the final step of neurulation and what do they form?

A

4-the notochord degenerates and only persists as the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral discs

-other mesoderm cells differentiate into the somites, precursors of the axial skeleton and skeletal muscle

46
Q

where are the pharyngeal arches formed?
