A
week 1: fertilization –> cleavage –> implant
week 2: bilaminar disc –> fully implanted 2 WEEKS 2 layers
week 3: gastrulation and early nearlation 3 weeks 3 layers
week 4: neurulation complete, body plan established!
21
Q
describe ovulation:
A
- happens 14 days into cycle-MID CYCLE
- when release it is a 2ndary oocyte (stuck in meiosis 2)
- things included in the release: zone pellucid, corona radiate, and mass of mucus
- swept into lumen by the ciliated epithelia tubes
22
Q
what is the corpus luteum?
A
- remainder of follicle after ovulation
- secretes progesterone to promote thickening of the uterus for implantation
23
Q
what happens during fertilization?
A
- meiosis 2 finishes.. 2nd polar body released
- block to polyspermy… once one sperm enters it become impermeable to other sperm
- diploidy is reestablished after the sperm and egg nuclei fuse
- developmental program is initiated
- sex is determined
24
Q
what happens during the process of compaction?
A
- the blastomeres that are a part of the morula begin to adhere to one another —> creating an outer and inner mass of cells
- the blastomeres begin to divide though —> trophoblast and the embryoblast (ICM)
- *This is the first major differentiation
25
totipotency and blastomeres
early blastomeres are totipotent
| -they can become anything and everything in the human body
26
in vitro fertilization and the risks
- woman is hormonally primed to release secondary oocytes that are then mixed in culture with sperm
- once fertilization happens they are injected into F
RISKS:
1. multiple pregnancies
2. chances for birth defects?
27
what does the morula of blastomeres become?
once the cells begin diving they form 2 types of cells.
-eventually a blastocyst hatches from the zone pellucid
forming...
A. embryoblast which has the ICM which is the pole that becomes implanted into the female
B. trophoblast which is the out cells that proliferate into the uterine wall
i. cytotrophoblast
ii. syncytiotrophoblast-STB
^^these together make the outer syncytium
28
what do the layers of the trophoblast do?
the CTB divides and forms the STB
- the STB is the invasive layer that breaks down the endometrial epithelium
- this causes the maternal blood to begin to poor onto the STB providing it nutrients to grow
- lacunae are formed by the STB
29
the growing blastocyst is (2):
- hemochorial: maternal and fetal blood come into contact
| - interstitial: completed embedded in the uterine wall
30
bilaminar disc
1. inner cell mass ->>> epiblast and hypoblast
| 2. trophoblast
31
where does implantation occur?
upper posterior portion of the uterine body
32
what is ectopic implantation?
- implantation and development outside of the uterine lumen
- often can lead to rupture and bleeding
- 95% occur in the tubes
- very common
33
what is placenta previa?
implantation in the lower portion of the uterus and the baby is not able to be delivered vaginally... most often through c section
34
predisposing factors for ectopic preg?

-IUD
-PID
chlamydia infections
syphilis
gonorrhea
35
Sx/Sy and Tx for rupture?

- tachycardia
- low BP
- low hematocrit
- postive for betahCG
tx:
early US
unruprutred: methotrexate or surgical removal
ruptured: urgent surgical removal
36
where does fertilization occur?
ampullary portion of tubes
37
hCG
- secreted by the STB
- beta subunit is unique to hCG
- clinical setting can be detected in 7 days
38
what happens if fertilization occurs?
- the STB becomes the source of hCG
| - hCG promotes continues progesterone secretion from corpus luteum until placenta eventually takes over
39
what are the layers of the bilaminar disc?
- epiblast=floor of amniotic cavity
- hypoblast=roof of the yolk sac
- primitive streak---> form midline of body for epiblast to invaginate
- primitive node---> notochord
40
process of gastrulation:
- the epiblast begins to invaginate medially onto the primitive streak displacing the hypoblast
- the 3 germ layers are made
- the hypoblast eventually disappears
41
what happens as a result of gastrulation?
1. bilateral symmetry is established
2. cranial and caudal ends are established
3. 3 primary germ layers--differentiation of the epiblast
4. CNS inducer in place
42
ectoderm derivatives:

what is a sacrococcygeal teratoma?
- remnants of the primitive streak
- mass of different tissues from the germ layers (bone, teeth, etc)
- most common tumor in newborns
46
how is the neural plate formed?
aka neuroectoderm
- underlying paraxial mesoderm and the notochord send signals to the overlying ectoderm to form a neural plate (thickening of the overlying ectoderm)
- it extends cranially to become brain
- caudally to become spinal cord
- notochord becomes nucleus pulposus
- -> neural plate begins to invaginate and fold up onto itself into a neural tube
47
neural crest cells and the neural tube
- neural tube begins to detach from surface ectoderm
- the neural crest cells lie just below surface and undergo a EPITHELIAL-->MESENCHYMAL transition
- and the neural tube lies below this
48

2. connective-joins tissues
3. muscular-movement
4. nervous-communication
51
polarization of epithelial tissues
- has apical and basal layers
- lines ALL free surfaces except for synovial jt. capsules and anterior surface of the iris
- basal surfaces are attached to the basement membrane (adhesive)
52
apical surfaces
- nonadhesive
- in order for organs to move freely against one another without sticking
- adhesions will occur when epithelial layers break down and the CT adheres to one another
53
what is endothelium?
- simple squamous epithelium
- all the epithelium that lines the CV system
- this is why there is a lumen for blood flow/cells don't stick to one another because of the apical stuff
54
what is mesothelium?
- simple squamous epithelium
| - lining of body cavities (pericardial, pleural, peritoneal)
55
what are examples of modifications to apical layers?
1. microvilli: increase cell SA [small intestine]
2. cilia and flagella [trachea for movement of stuff]
3. sterocilia: longer than cilia, less motile [epididymis]
56
organization of organelles in a cell dependent upon secretion
-if secrete apically then
RER--> Golgi --> Zymogens (basal to apical)
-the reverse is true if secretion happens basally
57
what are the main functions of epithelial junction complexes? (2)
1. holds cells together as sheets
| 2. isolates different compartments of the tissue
58
zonula occludens
- tight junction

88
marfan syndrome
this is mostly common in really tall people who have a mutation to the ECM glycoprotein FIBRILLIN
- this glycoprotein is important for the elastic fiber integrity
- often have hyper extensible joints
- die often sudden cardiac death from an aortic aneurysm because it cannot withhold the pressure of the blood being pumped into it
89

^^this binds a lot of water which makes cartilage smooth and wet ish
93
Hyaline Cartilage structure and function?
structure: avascular (like all) cannot self repair
elastin
function: abundant on articular surfaces of long bones, rib/sternum, trachea, bronchi, layrnx
- cushions
- attaches/supports [flexibly]

structure: looks similar to a tendon + chondrocytes throughout
function: IV disks
- symphysis pubis
- meniscus
- labrum
96
What is endochondral ossification?
this is how most bones develop by using a cartilage frame work and then filling this in
-this is also how fracture repair occurs
97
Unique properties of bone
-highly vascular
-high tensile strength
-has columns and buttresses
-Ca hydroxyapatite crystals
-SLOW turnover
3% compact, 25% spongy/year
-self repairing
-compartment for hematopoiesis
98
Morphology of Gross Bone
- epi/meta/diaphysis
- epiphyseal plate is where growth occurs in children
- blood vessels from PERIosteum
- compact bone=shell
- spongy bone=epiphyses and metaphysis
99
Histology of bones
- osteocytes are embedded within lacunae
- the projections from these cells are called canaliculi
- lamellae are the concentric rings that eventually make one osteon aka haversian system--- this allows for diffusion of gases and nutrients to the osteocytes in the system
100
What is characteristic of compact bone?
- haversian systems
| - support columns
101
What is characteristic of spongy bone?
-trabeculae
-arranged around reticulum of blood vessels
REMEMBER! only in the epiphyses and metaphysis
102
What is the endosteum?
- outside and inside mature bone
- has osteoprogenitor cells (stem cells) that can become osteoblasts very quickly and form new bone
- always activated during fx repair and remodeling of bone
103
What are different cells of bones?
progenitor cells: fibroblast like and are reserved until activated to osteoblasts
- blasts: make bone
- clasts: break down bone... part of monocular phagocyte system
104
What are some cardinal features of osteoclasts?
- several nuclei
- large
- uneven surface that has microvilli
- lots of mitochondria
- secretes dilute HCl
105
Describe bones as a calcium store:
- tightly regulated
- PTH: increases Ca when its low; mobilize osteoclasts
ii. secondarily one can increase Ca in gut and increase phosphate excretion
- Calcitonin: lowers Ca: inhibits osteoclasts
106
What is the process of fx repair?
1. after a fx the bone bleeds and creates a soft callus which is hyaline cartilage
2. osteoprogenitor cells are then activated to make osteoblasts
3. endochondral ossification occurs when the blasts ossify the cartilage to make a bony callus
4. after reduction and fixation... 6-12 wks the bony callus repairs the fx
*bone rarely breaks in same place due to the callus being stronger than original bone
