25
Name some of our cell types that undergo high turnover rate
Skin cells (we shed our skin), high fibrous diet can increase turnover in the gut tube, cells in the oral cavity (we brush our teeth twice a day)
26
Patterning
the developmental process by which cells acquire different identities, depending on their relative spatial positions within the embryo; involves induction, competence, differentiation
27

The agent that provides cells with the signal to enter differentiation into different populations of cells
28
Cells must be ___ to respond to the induction signal
Competent
29
Competence
ability to respond to an inducer
30
True or false: Windows of competence stay the same in various populations of cells
False - they vary (some cells may not respond to induction signal)
31
Differentiation
the process of responding to an inducer to change to what it is supposed to be
32
Name the players of induction/competence/differentiation
1. homeobox genes 2. growth factors 3. retinoic acid 4. other miscellaneous regulatory molecules
33
Paracrine regulation
a growth factor produced by one cell acts on another
34
Autocrine regulation
A cell recaptures its own product (needs to go to its own membrane receptor)
35
Possible results from inductive influence
1. cell death 2. survive 3. proliferate (may even reduce proliferation) 4. differentiate
36
Gametogenesis
Process of forming the gametes (egg and sperm)
37
Fertilization
fusion of male and female gametes to form the zygote
38
Meiosis
Reduction cell division that takes place in germ cells
39
Diploid germ cells develop haploid gametes through:
spermatogenesis and oogenesis
40
Which division of Meiosis involves reduction division?
Division 1
41
How many viable cells can be used in oogonia?
1 - ovum needs all the extra cytoplasm to survive 1 week after fertilization, extra chromosomes are discarded via polar bodies
42
Gametogenesis in males produces:
4 sperm
43
Why is meiosis important?
1. maintains constancy of the chromosome number 2. results in a random assortment of genetic material 3. relocates segments of maternal and paternal chromosomes between gametes
44
True or false: mixture of maternal and paternal chromosomes is about 50%
False - can be mixtures of varying degrees, is also a mixture of genes from preceding family tree
45
When does spermatogenesis begin in males?
At puberty (13-16); continues into old age
46
When does oogenesis begin in females?
Begins before birth in the female, completed after puberty (12-15), continues to menopause
47
Cluster of cells found around the primary oocye
Follicular cells
48
Antrum
Central cavity surrounding secondary oocyte, filled with fluid
49
____ ____ ultimately becomes the fertilized ovum/oocyte
Secondary oocyte
50
During ovulation, what happens to the secondary oocyte?
Moves closer to the wall of the ovary, gets expelled into the peritoneal cavity
51
Disturbances of meiosis during gametogenesis result in the formation of:
abnormal gametes
52
True or false: abnormal gametes can be compatible with life
True, but some are not (although one example is downs syndrome)
53
___ ___ refers to the way the oocyte and sperms meet each other in the ampulla of the uterine tube
Gamete transportation
54
Usual site of fertilization
Ampulla of uterine tube
55
Three parts of the fallopian tube
Infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus
56
How does the oocyte get into the uterus?
1. Secondary oocyte migrates toward wall of ovary and bursts through, expels some antral fluid 2. expelled into the ampulla of the uterine tube via fimbriae of the infundibulum 3. transported by peristalsis toward the uterus
57
If there is not enough force generated to push the oocyte into the uterine tube:
risk of ectopic pregnancy
58
_____ sperms are deposited around the ____ of the uterus and the ____ of the vagina during intercourse
200-600 million; external os; fornix
59
How long does the secondary oocyte viable for in the uterine tube?
24 hours
60
How many sperm make the trip to the uterine tube?
200-300
61
Describe how sperm move through/what they do in the cervical canal
1. Pass slowly through cervical canal using their tails 2. vesiculase coagulates some semen to form a vaginal plug
62
What happens to cervical mucus after ejaculation?
Amount increases and becomes less viscous, allowing easier movements of sperms
63
Ejaculate volume averages:
3.5 mL (can be 2-6)
64
How fast do sperms move?
2-3mm/minute depending on pH of environment
65
Where does capacitation begin in sperm?
In the cervical/1st part of the uterine cavity or uterine tube
66
Capacitation is important because:
it allows sperm to become mobile
67
How long does it take for capacitation to occur?
7 hours
68
Capacitation occurs in response to
enzymes and other components in the uterine fluid
69
True or false: peristalsis assists sperm movement
True
70
Corona radiata comes from:
follicular cells
71
What happens during capacitation?
1. Glycoprotein coat and seminal proteins are removed from the acrosome 2. membrane components are extensively altered
72
Intact acrosome binds to ___ of the oocyte
ZP3 glycoprotein (zona pellucida)
73
What is released during acrosome reaction?
Hyaluronidase, acrosin
74
Human oocytes are usually fertilized within ____ of ovulation
12 hours
75
Fertilization must occur within:
1 day of ovulation
76
True or false: most human sperms probably do not survive more than 48 hours in the female genital tract
True (also some reports of 3-7 days)
77
Short term storage and release of sperms aids in:
probability of fertilization - storage in cervical mucosa
78
Longest and widest part of the uterine tube
Ampulla
79
How long does it take sperm to reach the ampulla?
5-45 minutes
80
What happens if the oocyte is not fertilized?
degenerates and is resorbed
81
Phases of fertilization
1. Passage of sperm through corona radiata 2. penetration of zona pellucida 3. fusion of plasma membranes of oocyte and sperm 4. completion of meiosis II of oocyte and formation of female pronucleus 5. formation of male pronucleus 6. chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate, pronuclei fuse into zygote
81
Results of fertilization
1. stimulated the penetrated oocyte to complete the 2nd meiotic division 2. restores the normal diploid chromosome number (46) 3. responsible for species variation 4. determines sex of new individual 5. initiates cleavage
