Cards

Term

Anatomical Positioning in a adult, what is it in an embryo?

 

superior

Inferior

Anterior

Posterior

 

Definition

Cranial

Caudal

Ventral

Dorsal

Term
Gametogenisis
Definition
the formation of gametes, in female and male.
Term
Oogenisis
Definition

-formation of ova

-occurs in ovaries

Term
pathway from ooginia to ovum?
Definition
oogonia-->primary oocyte-->secondary oocyte--ovum
Term
expelled at ovulation?
Definition
secondary oocyte
Term
2 layers that surround the OOCYTE?
Definition

Zona pellucida(ZP):

-inner layer

-glycoprotien

 

Corona Radiata (CR):

-outer layer

-made of follicular cells

-23 haploid cells (chromosomes)

Term
What is expelled through the ovaduct?
Definition
Secondary OOCYTE, CR, ZP
Term
Define Fallopian Tube
Definition

-recieves the secondary oocyte

 -extend laterally from uterus

Term
what are the 3 parts of the fallopian tubes?
Definition

Infundibulum-(distal)

-surrounds the fimbrae moves to attract egg

 

Ampulla (medial part)

-longest widest part of uterine tube

-NORMAL fertilization site

 

Isthmus (proximal)

-opens to the uterus

Term
What are the 3 layers of the uterus?
Definition

1. Perimetrium(Outer layer)

2. Myometrium (middle layer)

-thick muscle layer

-ussually smooth muscle

-used to push out baby

3. endometrium (inner layer)

-affected by hormones

-filled blood vs and glands

-normal site of implantation

Term
Head of Sperm?
Definition

-contains 23 chromosomes

-acrosome (cap like organelle that covers the anterior portion of the organelle 66% of the head)

-acrosome contains enzymes to help break the secondary oocytes protective system

Term
what are the 3 pieces of the tail called?
Definition

1. middle piece

-contains mitochondria  to keep it swimming

2. principle piece

3. end piece

Term
how many sperm reach fertilization site?
Definition
250-300
Term
Capacitation
Definition

-maturation of the sperm

-occurs durring its travels up the uterine tubes

-takes around 7 hours for it to capacitate

-when sperm hits cr, it undergoes acrosome reaction.

Term
When does fertilization ussually occur?
Definition

-12-24 hours after ovulation

- gestational age is calculated from the onset of the mothers last menstral period (LMP)

Term
Embroyological Age?
Definition
is considered the true age of the embryo
Term
Penetration of the ZP and CR, give some of the steps that occur.
Definition

-acrosome rxn releases enzymes: hylauronidase to get the sperm through CR

-acrosin and neuromindase get the sperm through ZP

-once this occurs, zp undergoes Zona RXN to make the zp inpenatrable to all other sperm.

Term
Penetraition of the secondary oocyte, give some steps.
Definition

-sperm enters and looses tail

-oocyte induced to become mature ovum

-male and female nucleus=ZYGOTE

Term
What are the results from fertilization?
Definition

-Diploid (23Mother, 23Father)=46 chromes

-Chromosomal sex is established (XX or XY)

-species variation

-Initiation of cleavage

Term
what is cleavage?
Definition

-30 hours after fertilization

-rapid mitotic division of the zygote

-starts to move towards the uterus

-resulting cells are called BLASTOMERES

 

Term
when is a zygote called a morulla?
Definition
-by 12-16 cells, formed by the blastomere
Term
Blastocyst formation, what are some steps?
Definition

-morulla enters uterus

-blastocyst cavity forms

Term
blastocyst cavity
Definition
-fluid enters morula and creates a cavity called blastocyst cavity
Term
what are the two parts that seperate the blastocyst cavity?
Definition

1. trophoblast (outer cell mass)

-"nourish"

-forms the wall of blastocyte

 

2. embryoblast (inner)

-becomes the embryo

Term
When does the Zona Pullucida degerate?
Definition
after day 5
Term
Implantation
Definition
blastocyst attaches to the endometrial epithelium
Term
results of implantation?
Definition

trophoblast separtes into 2 different parts:

 

1. cytotrophoblast

-inner layer

-celluar

-very organized

 

2. syncytiotrophoblast

-outer layer

-multi nucleated mass

-releases substances to erode maternal tissues

-can cause spotting

Term
Hypoblast
Definition

single layer of cuboidal cells that form in the embryoblast.

 

HYPOBLAST will form the blastocyst cavity.

Term
When do we have superficial implantation?
Definition
by the end of week 1
Term
Ectopic preganacy
Definition

-occurs when implantation occurs outside of the uterus

-most common tubal pregnancies (ampulla)

-last up to 8 weeks before burst

Term
P.I.D.
Definition

-can cause scarring in the uterine tubes causing the egg not to travel the right path for fert/implantation.

-std's can cuase PID

Term
Amniotic Cavity (week 2)
Definition
-is a small space formed around the 2 layers of the trophoblast and the embryoblast.
Term
Bilaminer Disc
Definition

1. Epiblast (Columnar, Tall)

-located inferior to the amniotic cavity

 

2. Hypoblast (cuboidal cells)

-form the roof of the blastocyst cavity

 

Term
When is the embryoblast called a yolk sac?
Definition
when the bilaminer disc is formed.
Term
Lacunae
Definition

-filled with mothers blood and gladular secretions

-lacunae develop in sycytiotrophoblast spaces

-primodial uteroplacental circulation

 

Term
where does the embryo recieve it's nourishment from?
Definition
lacunae and yolk sac (2-3 weeks)
Term
By which day is implantation complete? (after the lacuae forms)
Definition
Day 10
