Prophase I of meiosis
Menstrual phase is days 1-5, causes an increase of what?
blood, bleeding
After the pronuclei are formed, two individual cells make _________ which are totipotent
blastomeres
What is the process where different layers are removed from the head of the sperm?
Capacitation
What layer of the oocyte prevents polyspermy, premature implantation, disintegration of cleaving embryo?
Zona Pellucida
Organogenesis happens during weeks _________, in the embroyonic period
3-8
Before the embryo implants into the posterior superior wall, what must be shed?
Zona pellucida
Spermatogonia -> __________ -> spermatids
spermatocytes
Where are primordial germ cells formed?
Epiblast
Zona Pellucida allows nutrients to reach cleaving embryo and causes _________ development
Blastocyst
Spermatogonia moves through what process to make type A and type B spermatogonia?
Mitosis
Ovulation is caused by an increase of what?
LH
Secretory phase is under the influence of __________
progesterone, arteries and glands enlarge
During what process do primordial germ cells move through the primitive streak?
Gastrulation, eventually settle in the yolk sac
Blastomeres undergo compaction after 8-cell stage, that make what two pieces?
trophoblasts-> make the placenta embryoblasts -> inner cell mass
