Gametogenesis ➡️ Fetus Flashcards
Germ cells are derived from
Epiblast
When Germ cells migrate to yolk sac ?
At 6wks of pregnancy germ cells migrate to?
3 wks of preg
Gonadal ridge in 6 wks
Germ cells are bipotential till?
Gene to determine sex of fetus
6wks
SRY gene on short arm of Y chromosome
Difference between spermatogenesis and spermiogenesis
Spermatogonia ➡️ Sperm
Spermatid ➡️ Sperm
Spermatogenesis begins at?
Oogenesis begins at
Puberty
Intrauterine life
Parts of spermatid
Acrosomal cap ⬅️ Golgi body
Head⬅️ nucleus
Middle piece⬅️mitochondria
Tail⬅️ centriole
Organalle lacked by sperm
Arrangement of centriole in tail
Rough ER
9+2 arrangement of filament
Site of spermatogenesis
Time for spermatogenesis
Seminiferous tubule
Puberty
Where does a sperm attains maturity and motility
Caudal end of epididymis
Gene for motility of sperm
Ion for motility
CATSPER
Ca+2
Time taken for sperm to reach ampulla of fallopian tube
Sperm remains motile in fgt for?
30 min
12hrs
FSH acts on? During spermatogenesis
Negative feedback to decrease fsh is given by
Sertoli cells
Inhibin B released by sertoli cells
And indirect by testosterone by inhibiting GnRH
Blood testis barrier is formed by
Sertoli cells
1st stimulus for testis to produce testosterone
hcg
Primary oocyte gets arrested in which stage
Diplotene stage of prophase 1 during meiosis 1
What is primordial follicle
Primary oocyte surrounded by follicular cells ie granulosa and theca cells
What is ovulation
It is release of secondary oocyte from primary oocyte
Female pronucleus is formed by
Secondary oocyte undergoes meiosis 2 but arrested in metaphase till fertilization
When fertilization takes place secondary oocyte changes to female pronucleus
Follicles present during 5 month of IUL
At birth
At puberty
7 million follicles (max)
1-2 million
4lakhs
What is dictyate stage
Where is it absent
Arrested stage of of primary oocyte in first meiosis
It is absent in spermatogenesis
Sequence of events before fertilization
Capacitation
Acrosomal reaction
Cortical reaction
Zona reaction
Function of zona pellucida
It prevent polyspermy when one sperm reaches zona
What is cortical reaction and zona reaction
Cortical reaction-When sperm reaches perivitelline space it touches ooplasm and cortical granules release enzyme
Zona reaction- the enzymes make zona pellucida impermeable to other sperms
Capacitation is
Where does in occurs mainly
Ability of sperm to fertilize ova
Takes place in fgt
Mainly occurs at fallopian tube
Fertilization occurs in
Ampulla of fallopian tube
Function of zona pellucida in a zygote
It will not allow zygote to implant in fallopian tube
Morula is
8-16 celled zygote surrounded by zona pellucida
Types of cell in fallopian tube
Ciliated columnar cell - push zygote to uterine cavity by peristalsis
Secretory cells nutrition to early zygote
Peg cells unknown
What happens during implantation if progesterone contraceptive failure occurs
progesterone is smooth muscle relaxant
Contraceptive failure leads to ectopic pregnancy
