Q

Fertilization

What is the order of fertilization?

A

Capacitation
Acrosomal Reaction
Fast Black
Slow Block (Cortical reaction)

33
Q

What do the hydrolytic enzymes released from the sperm during the acrosomal reaction do?

A

‘chewing’ through the zona pellucida, this allows the sperm to fuse with the egg’s plasma membrane

34
Q

During gastrulation, what is the structure that can be found in very primitive organisms?

A

The gut tube

35
Q

What happens at the end of the luteal phase?

A

Estrogen and Progesterone levels fall (no implantation)
They rise IF there IS implantation

36
Q

What molecule is increased during capacitation? What does this prepare?

A

Prepares the tip of the sperm for acrosomal rxn
Increases the permeability to calcium

37
Q

What happens during the acrosomal reaction?

A

Sperm goes through corona radiata to reach zona pellucida
-actin binds to zona pellucida 3 protein
Sperm head and acrosome fuse -> acrosomal enzymes -> sperm & egg fused

38
Q

Where does the egg that will be ovulated get released from? Where does the egg attach to?

A

Graafian follicle!
Attaches to fimbriae
this follice used to be a small one on the ovary and developed the most to be dominant!

39
Q

Explain what the fast block for sperm is!

A

Sodium ions diffuse into cells & depolarize, happens in seconds

40
Q

Explain what the slow block for sperm is!

A

Calcium ions stimulate cortical granules which make barrier and release zona pellucida from egg, takes a bit to happen

41
Q

Lactation (suckling) increases what hormones?

A

PRLactin production which causes lactation
Oxytocin releases milk (milk let down reflex).

42
Q

Oxytocin increase stimulates what to happen?

A

Induces contractions which push the baby out of the womb

43
Q

Difference between radial and spiral cleavage?

A

Radial Cleavage: cleave down the middle
Spiral Cleavage: cleave down a deviated axis

44
Q

Difference between determinant and indeterminant cleavage?

A

Determinate (Mosaic) Cleavage: blastomeres have pre-set fate!!!
Indeterminate (Regulative): blastomeres do not have pre-set fate (totipotent)

45
Q

Difference between holoblastic and meroblastic ? What’s the 1 exception?

A

Holoblastic: use entire egg to cleave
- happens in animals with little yolk (humans)
Meroblastic: use part of the egg to cleave
- happens in animals with lots of yolk (birds, reptiles, fish)

FROGS are the exception (holoblastic but lots of yolk)

46
Q

What is the blastula? What does it differentiate into?

A

Hollow cavity (has blastocoel)
Trophoblast and ICM

47
Q

Trophoblast
forms what?
produces what?

A

-forms chorion
-implants embryo in uterus
-produces HCG

48
Q

Inner Cell Mass
forms what?
differentiates into what?

A
  • forms embryo
  • forms 3 other extraembryonic membranes (amnion, yolk sac and allantois)
  • differentiates into epiblast and hypoblast
49
Q

Which one is essential for gastrulation? Epi or hypoblast? Why?

A

Epiblast because it creates the primitive streak

50

A

identical twins
One zygote splits. Two embryos with identical genetic material.

57
Q

A

fraternal twins.
Two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperms. Two zygotes with different genetic material.

58
Q

List the structures outside of the embryo. What is the outmost and innermost?

A

Chorion (outer) , yolk sac, amnion (innermost), allantois

59
Q

Fertilization occurs in the _____

A

oviduct (fallopian tube)

60
Q

Oviparity

A

Offspring develop and hatch outside of the mother’s body. Birds, fish, and reptiles are oviparous

61
Q

Viviparity

A

Offspring develops inside the mother’s body, birth follows. Most mammals are viviparous.

62
Q

Ovoviviparity

A

Hybrid between oviparity and viviparity. Offspring develop and are hatched within the mother’s body. Some snakes and amphibians are ovoviviparous.

63
Q

Chorion

A

gas exchange
Placental Animals: platform for waste, nutrient, gas exchange, forms placenta
Egg Laying Animals: membrane for gas exchange under eggshell

64
Q

Yolk Sack

A

Placental Animals: short period of function, makes first blood cells
Egg Laying Animals: houses all the nutrients for embryo development

65
Q

Amnion

A

innermost layer, secretes amniotic fluid to protect embryo (embryo sits here)
- amphibians & fish do not have an amnion!!!

66
Q

Allantois

A

waste disposal sac, buds off the archenteron

Placental Animals: transports waste to placenta, becomes umbilical cord, then
urinary bladder as an adult
Egg Laying Animals: stores uric acid then fuses with chorion to help w/ gas exchange

67
Q

What extra embryonic structure becomes the urinary bladder in humans/placental animals?

A

The allantois

68
Q

Increasing progesterone and estrogen causes the levels of _____ and ___ to drop

A

FSH and LH

A

vitelline

70
Q

The outermost layer of the egg of a mammal is called the____ _____

A

corona radiata.

71
Q

During which stage of embryonic development are three germ layers formed?

A

Gastrulation

72
Q

A

thickens, high

73
Q

The beginning of the menstrual cycle is marked by _____ estrogen and progesterone.

A

low

74
Q

Deuterosomes form what structure first?

A

(think when u take a deuce)
Anus forms first, then mouth

75
Q

Protosomes form what structure first?

A

Mouth first then anus

76
Q

The notochord does not develop into the neural tube; it simply _____ the formation of the neural tube from ectodermal cells.

A

induces

77
Q

Laminin does what?

A

helps cells to receive signals. It can influence cell movement but does not physically aid in that movement.

78
Q

tubulin

79
