159
Q

Why are spermatids not considered functional gametes?

A

They have too much superfluous cytoplasm and are nonmotile.

160
Q

Differentiate spermatogenesis from spermiogenesis.

A
  1. Spermatogenesis is the formation of haploid gametes by the male. 2. During spermiogenesis, excessive spermatid cytoplasm is sloughed off to form a motile functional sperm

A

The primary follicle has one or a small number of layers of follicle cells surrounding the oocyte; the vesicular follicle has a large antrum containing fluid produced by the granulosa cells, and the developing oocyte, surrounded by several layers of granulosa cells, is pushed to one side.

  1. The cellular product of spermatogenesis is four ___________; the final product of oogenesis is one_________ and three__________ .
A

spermatid, secondary oocyte (potential ovum) polar bodies

171
Q

What is the function of this unequal cytoplasmic division seen during oogenesis in the female?

A

To provide the functional gamete with adequate nutritional reserves so that it can survive during its journey to the uterus;

172
Q

What is the fate of the polar bodies produced during oogenesis? Why?

A

They deteriorate.; They lack sustaining cytoplasm with nutrient reserves.

173
Q

Which layer of the endometrium would you expect to be displaced with endometriosis? Why?

A

The functional layer would be displaced since this is the layer that is shed with menstruation.

174
Q

Explain the path that endometrial cells would travel to reach the peritoneum when retrograde menstruation occurs.

A

The endometrium would travel from the uterus through the uterine tube which is open to the pelvic cavity and would therefore reach the peritoneum.

175
Q

What uterine tissue undergoes dramatic changes during the menstrual cycle?

A

Endometrium

176
Q

When during the female menstrual cycle would fertilization be unlikely? Explain why.

A

Any time but the three-day interval (days 14-16) around ovulation. (Twenty-eight-day cycle is assumed.)

177
Q

Define Zygote

A

The fertilized egg, formed by fusion of egg and sperm nuclei

178
Q

What is the importance of cleavage in embryonic development?

A

to provide a large number of cellular building blocks for the developing fetus

179
Q

How is cleavage different from mitotic cell division, which occurs later in life?

A

there is no growth in size during cleavage and no differentiation of cells into particular types

What is the function of the amnion and the amniotic fluid?

A

The amnion encases the embryo in a fluid filled chamber that protects the embryo from mechanical trauma and temperature extremes and prevents adhesions of body parts during growth
