Implantation And Second Week Of Development Flashcards
What are the 3 layers of the endometrium
Endometrium- mucosa lining the inside wall
Myometrium- thick layer of smooth muscle
Perimeteium- peritoneal covering lining the outside wall
The endometrium undergoes 3 phases
What are they
Follicular/Proliferative phase
Secretory/Progestational phase
Menstrual phase
The proliferative phase coincides with
The growth of ovarian follicles
The proliferative phase occurs under the influence of
Estrogen
The secretory phase begins how many days after ovulation
2-3 days
The secretory phase occurs in response to which hormone
Progesterone
The progesterone is produced by
The corpus luteum
If fertilization occurs endometrium assists in the formation of
Placenta
What takes over the role of hormone production after fertilization
Placenta
What are the 3 layers of the endometrium
Superficial compact layer
Intermediate spongy layer
Thin basal layer
Implantation occurs how many days after ovulation
6-10
What prevents the blastocyst from sticking to the wall of uterus
Zona pellucida
The trophoblast undergo mitosis and form new cells that lose their membrane and form a mass of cells called
Syncytiotrophpblast
Normal site of implantation of the blastocyst
Upper part of the posterior wall of the uterine cavity
Abnormal site of implantation within the uterus
Lower uterine segment near the internal os
Abnormal site of implantation outside the uterus
In the uterine tube
In the abdominal cavity
In the ovary
The trophoblast is differentiated into 2 layers called
Cytotrophpblast
Syncytiotrophoblast
Cells of the embryo differentiate into 2 layers called
-A layer of cuboidal cells adjacent to blastocyst cavity called hypoblast
- A layer of high columnar cells adjacent to the amniotic cavity called epiblast layer
