Packet 28 Flashcards
From fertilization to birth
fertilization implantation placental development fetal development gestation labor parturition (birth)
Haploid sperm nucleus & haploid secondary oocyte nucleus merge to form
single diploid nucleus
Occurs in uterine tube within 24 hours after ovulation (oocyte dies in 24 hours)
fertilization
events occurring before fertilization
- peristalsis of uterine tube and cilia transport oocyte to uterus
- sperm swims to oocyte by flagella
- capacitation (final maturation) of sperm occurs within female
sperm swim towards oocyte by means of flagella
—–stimulate uterine contractions that help move sperm towards the oocyte
prostaglandins
sperm penetrates the ___ cells around the oocyte
granulosa
Sperm digests its way throughthe
zona pellucida
First sperm to fuse with oocyte membrane triggers the slow & the fast block to
polyspermy
1-3 seconds after contact, oocyte membrane depolarizes & other cells can not fuse with it =
fast block to polyspermy
depolarization triggers the intracellular release of Ca+2 causing the exocytosis of molecules hardening the entire zona pellucida
slow block to polyspermy
Events within the egg
–sperm entry triggers___
oocyte to complete meiosis II and dump second polar body
Events within the egg
—Once inside the oocyte
the sperm loses its tail & becomes a male pronucleus
Events within the egg
—the true moment of fertilization is when
Fusion of male & female haploid pronuclei
fertilized ovum (2n) is called
zygote
Rapid mitotic cell division of embryo is called
cleavage
Formation of the morula
Day 1-4
Day 1. 1st cleavage in 30 hours produces 2 blastomeres
Day 2. 2nd cleavage on 2nd day
Day 3. By 3rd day has 16 cells
Day 4. By day 4 has formed a solidball of cells
By day 4 has formed a solidball of cells called
morula
is a hollow ball of cells that enters the uterine cavity by day 5
blastocyst
outer covering of cellscalled
trophoblast
fluid-filled cavity called
blastocele
