chromosomes from female plus an X
chromosome

chromosome

ii) Swim up uterine tubes (fallopian), only a
few hundred sperm make it to the ovum.
iii) Fertilization usually occurs in the
ampulla
iv) Sperm life span 24 – 48 hours.

(1) Capacitation:
(2) Acrosomal reaction:
Term
FERTILIZATION: FUSION OF THE
SPERM AND OVUM
Fertilization:
Definition
i) Sperm and ovum fuse = zygote
ii) Diploid number of chromosomes (46),
the 23rd pair is the sex chromosome and
will be either XX or XY.
iii) Nuclei of the ovum and sperm “unite”
Term
Multiples:
Dizogotic/Fraternal/Nonidentical twins
Definition
(1) Two separate ova and sperm
(2) Most common kind of twins (2/3 of
all twin births)
(3) Usually have separate placentas and
membranes
Term
Multiples:
Monozygotic/Identical twins
Definition
(1) Single zygote which divides into two
separate embryos
(2) Not a genetic trait, but happens
“randomly”
(3) Incidence 3:1000
(4) Most often share placenta, but have
own membranes
Term
ESTIMATED DATE OF BIRTH (EDB)
VERSUS POST CONCEPTION AGE
Definition
i) EDB:
ii) Post conception age:
Term
EDB:
Definition
40 weeks.
Is the due date from your first day of your last menstrual until the baby is born.
Term
Post conception age:
Definition
38 weeks
How long it has been since fertilization (Milestone for kids)
Term
EARLY CELL DIVISION:
Definition
The preembryonic
stage or stage of the ovum (1 – 14
days)
Term
1. EARLY CELL DIVISION
Cleavage
Definition
(rapid mitotic division) begins at
18 – 24 hours from time of fertilization.
Resulting in new cells called blastomeres
Term
2.EARLY CELL DIVISION:
Morula
Definition
(collection of blastomeres):
Things start to rearrange and implantation.
(nidation) occurs:
Term
EARLY CELL DIVISION:
a)Blastocyst:
Definition
Implants into uterine wall at 7 – 9
days of gestation
(2) Made up of the solid inner mass of
cells

EARLY CELL DIVISION:
b) Trophoblast:
Definition
(1) Outer layer and replaces the zona
pellucida

lining and form the little pockets
called lacunae
Term
EARLY CELL DIVISION:
c)
Definition
(3) Once implanted, the trophoblast is
called the CHORION – one of the
two embryonic membranes.
(a) Important: the
trophoblast/chorion excretes hCG
(human chorionic gonadotropin)
which maintains corpus luteum.

differentiate. All tissues, organs and
organ systems will develop from these
layers
iii) Summary of germ layers and what they
will become
Term

g) SKELETAL MUSCLES IN THE
HEADES
Term
EARLY CELL DIVISION: The preembryonic
stage or stage of the ovum (1 – 14
days)
BODY STALK.
Definition
During this period the embryo is
developing a more human appearance
Embryonic circulation intact by 17 days
Term
EMBRYONIC STAGE (2 – 8 weeks)EMBRYONIC MEMBRANES
Definition
i) Forming at the same time as the germ
layers are differentiating
ii) The first and outer most membrane, the
CHORION:
iii) The second membrane to form is the
AMNION:
iv) Amniotic sac or the bag of waters.
Term
EMBRYONIC STAGE (2 – 8 weeks)
MAJOR MILESTONES OF
EMBRYONIC GROWTH:
Definition
Refer to page
76 in text for complete table.
i) 2-3 weeks - blood circulating
ii) 4th week - neural tube closes anterior and
posterior to form brain and spinal cord,
limb buds, tubular heart beats.
iii) 7th week – heart beat detected,
differentiation of sex glands
iv) 8th week – ossification and muscle
development begins, heart completely
formed
Term
EMBRYONIC STAGE (2 – 8 weeks)

occurs
