Fundamentals 2 Flashcards
What is Capacitation .?
Ability of Sperms to Fertilise ova in Female Reproductive tract
Sperms become Hypermotile in
Fallopian Tube
Attachment of sperm to Zona Pellucida
Acrosomal reaction
Receptors on Zona pellucida of secondary oocyte
ZP1, ZP2, ZP3(M/I)
Cortical Reaction.?
Penetration of ZP and reaching Cortex of secondary oocyte
With Help of ZP2 and Ca2++
What does Sperm do when it reaches Cortex of Secondary oocyte.?
Release of Hormones that make it impermeable for other Sperms.
Zona reaction
Function of Zona Pellucida.?
To prevent Polyspermy.
What is Fertilisation.?
Sperm + Secondary Oocyte or Female Pro Nucleus = Zygote.
16 cell stage of zygote is called as .?
Morula - Mulberry Shaped
Nutrition to Zygote in FT is provided by
Secretory Cells of FT
Other cells of FT- Columnar / ciliary cells and PEG cells
Main factor responsible for movement of Zygote into Uterine cavity.?
Peristalsis of Tube and Cilia Movement.
How does Progesterone and Copper T contraception cause Ectopic Pregnancy.?
Progesterone is a Smooth Muscle relaxant.
causes dec in Peristalsis of FT leading to Zygote implanting in FT
When does Implantation occur.?
Begins by 6th day after fertilisation.
Completed by 10th Day
When does Zona Hatching occur.?
5th day after Fertilisation.
What is Blastocyst.?
Fluid filled Morula caused by Zona pellucida hatching and fluid entering.
What is Intradecidual Sign.?
Sign of Attachment of Blastocyst to endometrium.
It does not disturb the central uterine cavity complex.
