Q

What is capacitation?

A

process that prepares sperm for fertilization…

  1. removes protective coating on sperms head
  2. sperm release hyaluronidase to break down zone pellucida on the ovum
  3. ovum moved through uterine tube by cilia
  4. sperm and ovum meet in the outer this of the uterine tub
  5. one 1 sperm gets thru, zone reaction blocks out the others.

capsularis?

A

encapsulatesthe trophoblast(outer layer of developing embryo)

17
Q

What is the decidua vera?

A

remainder of the uterine lining.

18
Q

What is the chorionic villi?

A

Finger-like projections from trophoblast
Link to maternal blood supply
Excrete waste until the placenta takes over

19
Q

what are the 3 layers of cells aka “germ layers”

A

-Ectoderm
-Mesoderm
-Endoderm (stems in yolk sac-early
GI system)

it is the most critical period for development.

20
Q

What are the membranes?

A

Chorion

Amnion/amniotic cavity

21
Q

when does the fetus start contributing for amniotic fluid?

A

11 weeks

22
Q

What does the umbilical cord do? tell me about it

A

Supplies embryo and fetus with maternal nutrients and oxygen-rich blood
Forms from connecting stalk
2 arteries, 1 vein (AVA) and Wharton’s jelly for cushioning and helps blood not get compressed.

23
Q

What does the placenta do? tell me about it

A

Involved in fetal circulation by day 17
Functions as endocrine gland, metabolic function and waste, and nutrient storage
Certain pathogens and drugs can pass through

24

35
Q

what kind of twins are there?

A

Dizygotic (Dichorionic-diamniotic) from two zygotes. They have their own placenta.
Monozygotic (Di-di, Mono-di, Mono-mono) came from one fetilized ovum
