Reproductive Physiology 2 Flashcards
What does the sperm penetrate?
corona radiata
How many sperms contact the plasma membrane of the oocyte?
one
How many sperms contact the glycoprotein of the ZP and the acrosome reaction occurs which causes the ZP to be digested?
many
Fast block to polyspermy
one sperm touches the outside of the secondary oocyte causing it to depolarize
Slow block to polyspermy
first sperm will have head pulled in and the zona pellucida will harden
The male pronucleus and female pronucleus form to make?
zygote (fertilized egg)
Where does the blastocyte hatch out of?
zona pellucida
Why does the blastocyte expand?
due to fluid inside
The inner cell mass of blastocyte gives us what?
baby
The outer trophobic gives us?
fetal contribution to the placenta
Once the egg has become a zygote what happens?
divisions will occur in the uterine tube and 2 cells with become 4 because each time it divides it gets smaller because its stuck in the zona pellucida
Where does the fertilized egg enter and in what phase?
endometrium in the secretory phase
where does the egg attach to?
part of the uterus with lots of blood vessels
trophoblast eat what and invade what?
invades the endometrium and eat maternal cells for nutrition as it moves inward to build a pathway for maternal blood
Where are the first signs of development found?
inner cells
When does the amniotic sac begin development?
2 days after implementation
When does the blastocytes convert itself to the placenta?
14 days after ovulation
When does the yolk sac begin to develop and the mesoderm gets pushed out of the embryo?
after 16 days
What does the mesoderm give us?
muscles and bones
Embyronic mesoderm
- vast majority of the placenta
T/F: the thick side that is closer to the wall of the uterus becomes placenta?
true
16 day embryo: the connecting stalk becomes what?
umbilical cord
16 day embryo: What does the ectoderm make?
amniotic sac and folds over the brain and spinal cord
- makes neural tube
16 day embryo: Endoderm closes over to make what?
the gut
16 day embryo
amniotic cavity begins to develop and young sac develops where the gut will be
28 day embryo
amniotic cavity begins to completely surround the baby growing out and around the fetus
28 day embryo: What does the front of neural tube and back of neural tube become?
front- head, back- spinal cord
28 day embryo: The foregut is supplied by and is the mechanism of what?
celiac artery and endoderm closing up
28 day embryo: Hindgut is supplied by
inferior mesenteric artery
28 day embryo: midgut is supplied by
superior mesenteric artery
When does the hear begin to form?
28 day embryo
8 Weeks since fertilization: age
8 weeks- conceptual
10 weeks- biological
What are the three main phases of development
- the pre embryonic phase
- embryological phase
- fetal phase
the pre embryonic phase
- less than 14 days after fertilization
- tiny trophoblast
- zona pellucida is still present and the embryo is isolated from the maternal environment
