Q

early fetal development - fertilization - mechanism

A

sperm binds zona pellucida of the 2ry oocyte arrested in metaphasis of meiosis II –> triggers acrosome reaction (releasing of acrosomal enzymes (acrosin) that aids the sperm to penetrates the zona pellucida) –> cortical reaction (releasing of lysosomal enzymes that changes the oocyte cell membrane potential –> inactivates sperm receptor (polyspermy block)) fusion of both membranes

Q

umblical vein + umbilical arteries - postnatal derivatives

A

umblical vein –> Ligamentum teres hepatis (Round ligament)

umbilical arteries –> medial umbilical ligaments

119
Q

Umbilical arteries and vein are derived from

A

allantois

120
Q

allanotis urachus correlation

A

urachus is part of allantoic duct between bladder and umbilicus

121
Q

allantois (–>urachus) - postnatal derivatives

A

Median umbilical ligament

122
Q

Single umbilical artery (2 vessel cord) is associated with

A

congenital and chromosomal anomalies

123
Q

Urachus - everything

A

in 3rd week the yolk sac forms the allantois –> extentds into urogenital sinus –> Allantois becomes the urachus, a duct between fetal bladder and umbilicus

124
Q

urachus?

A

a duct between fetal bladder and umbilicus

125
Q

pathology associated with urachus

A
  1. patent urachus
  2. urachal cyst
  3. Vesicourachal diverticulum
126
Q

patent urachus - mechanism

A

total failure of to obliterate –> urine discharge from umbilicus

127
Q

urachal cyst - mechanism

A

partial failure of to obliterate –> fluid-filled cavity lined with uroepithelium, between umbilivus and bladder

128
Q

urachal cyst - complications

A
  1. infections

2. adenocarcinoma

129
Q

Vesicourachal diverticulum - mechanism

A

slight failure of urachus to obliterated –> outpouching of bladder

130
Q

not a neural structure derived from neuroectoderm

A

dilator and sphincter papilae muscles

131
Q

vitelline duct - AKA/definition

A

omphalomesenteric duct

long narrow tube that joins the yolk sac to the midgut lumen of the developing fetus

132
Q

fate of vitelline duct

A

obliteration at 7 weeks

133
Q

disease associated with vitelline duct

A
  1. vitelline fistula
  2. Meckel diverticulim
  3. omphalomesenteric cysts
134
Q

vitelline fistulla - presentation

A

meconium discharge

135
Q

Meckel diverticulum the rule of 6 2s

A 
2 times as likely in males
2 inches long
2 feet from ileocecal valce
2% of population
present in first 2 yeras of life
may have 2 types of epithelial (gastric/pancreatic)
136
Q

meckel diverticulum - mechanism presentation

A
  1. melena (or hematochezia) 2. RLQ pain 3. intussusception 4. volvulus
  2. obstruction near terminal ileum (mimics appendicitis)
    MC asymptomatic
137
Q

twinning - dizygotic (fraternal) vs monozygotic according to frequency

A

dizygotic (fraternal) –> 2/3

monozygotic –> 1/3
