Early Human Development Flashcards
(54 cards)
what is the firsts step of fertilisation
sperm binds with bona pellucida glycoprotein ZP3
what happens after the initial stage of fertilisation
enzymes from sperm
into egg
moms of both fuse
cortisol granule release from egg = fertilisation mem impenetrable by other sperm
what is he haploid gamete form
sperm penetrates egg also triggers completion of second meiotic div
what is a zygote
fusion of male and female pronuclei restores the diploid num of chromos
what surrounds zygote
zona pallucida
what ar blastomeres
smaller daughter cells - mitotic div of zygote
up to 8 cell stage what is said for the blastomeres
totipotent
what is totipotent
give rise to any cell in embryo and supporting tissues
when does a blastocyst form
4-5 days
so what does a zygote consist of
blastomeres
what is a morula
16 blastomeres
what happens to a morula
under goes compaction to form a blastocyst
what is compaction
forms blastocyst
formation of cell junctions smoothing outside
what is blastocyst hatching
zona pellucide breaks
blastocyst free float
what does the inner cell mass do
gives rise to embryo
r
what do the remaining cells do that are not forming embryo
form the trophoblast which contributes to placenta
what are the embryonic stem cells derived from
from ICM
what happens after blastocyst hatching
from zona pellucida
embryo interacts directly with endometrial lining of uterus
where are normal sites for implantation
middle or upper dorsal uterine wall
were are abnormal sites of implantation
ovary ampulla uterine tube lower uterus cervix peritoneum
what is an ectopic pregnancy
when implantation in abnormal site
what kind of process is implantation
active
what does the blastocyst interact with or implantation
maternal tissues
what happens in implantations at cellular level
trophoblasts divide and secrete subs break endometrial cell connections
cell processes to burrow into uterine walll
