1st of week of development Flashcards
(29 cards)
Germ cell or oocyte covered by granulosa ( Follicular cells) is called?
Follicle
what do Granulosa cells secrete in primary follicles?
the membrane zona pellucida
when the theca interna and theca externa will appear?
secondary follicle
is a cluster of cell that surrounds the oocyte both in the ovarian follicle and after ovulation
cumulus oophorus
The follicular cells lining the antrum form a layer called
the stratum granulosum
which hormone the theca interna secrete?
Estrogen
the function of theca externa
it is fibrous tissue that protects oocyte
Fertilization
is a process by which
Male (Sperm) and Female (Ovum)
gametes unites with each other.
in which region the fertilization occurs in the uterine tube?
This occurs in the ampullary region
of the uterine tube.
HOW MANY PHASES OF OOCYTE PENETRATION BY THE SPERM?
3 PHASES
DESCRIBE PHASE 1 of OOCYTE PENETRATION BY THE SPERM?
SPERMATOZOA PASS THROUGH THE CORONA
RADIATA
DESCRIBE PHASE 2 of OOCYTE PENETRATION BY THE SPERM?
ONE OR TWO SPERMATOZOA PENETRATE
THE ZONA PELLUCIDA.
DESCRIBE PHASE 3 of OOCYTE PENETRATION BY THE SPERM?
ONE SPERMATOZOON PENETRATES THE
OOCYTE MEMBRANE WHILE LOSING ITS OWN
PLASMA MEMBRANE.
Capacitation
is a period of conditioning
(refining) in the female reproductive tract
7 hours.
what happened during Capacitation?
- During this time, a glycoprotein coat and
seminal plasma proteins are removed from the
sperm - Only capacitated sperm can pass through the
corona cells and undergo the acrosome
reaction.
ACROSOMAL REACTION
Release of acrosomal enzymes (acrosin) allows
sperm to penetrate the zona, thereby coming in
contact with the plasma membrane of the oocyte
CLEAVAGE
Zygote undergoes a series of mitotic divisions,
increasing the numbers of cells.
cells, which become smaller with each
cleavage (division), are known as
blastomeres
Approximately 3 days after fertilization
Zygote due to continues Mitotic division forms 16-cells Compact Embryo Known as
MORULA.
no cavity between the cells in the ________
MORULA.
How blastocyst form?
- Morula the compact ball of sixteen cell
- Looses gradually its compaction by developing
the cavity between the cell - Gradually, single cavity is formed, the
Blastocele, - At this time, the embryo is a Blastocyst.
BLASOTOCYST consist of
1) BLASTOCELE (Cavity),
2) INNER CELL MASS (EMBRYOBLAST)
3) OUTER CELL MASS(TROPHOBLAST)
IMPLANTATION.
Penetration Of The BLACTOCYST in the Endometrium
Of UTERUS
describe 1st week of fertilization?
FROM ZYGOTE TO BLASTOCYST
