Exam 2 Flashcards
(53 cards)
The male sperm process
Testis / seminiferous tubles ⬇️ Epididymis ⬇️ Vas deferenus / ductus deferns ⬇️ Ejaculatory duct ⬇️ Urethra
Male process of aim to fertilization
Testis / seminiferous tubles ⬇️ Epididymis ⬇️ Vas deferenus / ductus deferns ⬇️ Ejaculatory duct ⬇️ Urethra ⬇️ Vagina ⬇️ Cervix ⬇️ Uterus ⬇️ Uterine tube / oviduct
Cleavage
• period of frequent miotic divisions ZYGOTE ⬇️. Mitosis BLASTOMERES (early cells) formed through mitosis ⬇️ Morula (solid ball of 16+ cells) ⬇️ Blastocyst (hallow ball of cells)
What’s blastocyst
- differentiation of cells
- 2 parts
- inner cell mass (ICM)
- forms embryo
- trophoblast
- forms placenta
- secretes human chronic gonadotropin (HCG)
HCG
Key player in letting the body know that development going to start (to let the body know that one pregnant) fertilization happens
- communication w/ corpus luteum produces progesterone to support pregnancy
• tells corpus luteum to keep the hormones going cuz fertilization happen
- can find out in 8 days blood ; cuz HCG rise faster in blood stream than in urine
* takes 1 week when fertilization occurs
Implantation
- Blastocyst implants on endometrium
- Occurs in 7 days
Implantation
- Blastocyst digests the mucous layer
- Endometrium grows over it
Gastrulation
Week 2
Primary germs layers form
ECTODERM: gonna give rise to skin, neuron, pigments ( outer layer of tissue )
MESODERM: red blood cells, kidney, cardis muscle, skeletal muscle cells
ENDODERM: middle layer of tissue , lung, panacreatic, thyroid cell
NOW A GASTRULA
Organogenesis
Formation of the organs
• germ layers begin to form distinct organs ( 3rd week )
Primitive streak along back of the embryo
⬇️
Notochord, neural tube, heart, limbs, & digestive ( rise of central nerve system like spinal cord)
⬇️
All the organs have begun to develop 8 weeks - fetus
1st Trimester week 1-12
- heart beat detectable around 3rd week ( the heart not yet function can detect its starting to form but not yet capable to function properly)
- sexual differentiation begins
• at the end :
- all organs present & function to some degree
2nd trimester week 13-36
- 3rd & 4th month: Muscle forms
- at the end of 4th month: heart pumping blood
- week 16- 20 gender can be determined by ultrasound
- 5th month : eyes are opened ( can see light & follow light )
3rd Trimester
•7th month: significant brain growth
•8 th month: gaining fat
- digestive & respiratory systems last to develop
Extrambryonic membranes
•Allantois
• Yolk Sac
• Amniotic Sac
Water break is the embryonic sac like the fluid of the amniotic sac
- chronic vill
Forms in 3rd week
Extensions from chorion onto the uterine wall ( fingerlike extensions )
Used exchange nutrients & wastes
( extending off the placenta )
What is Allantois?
Gives rise to blood vessels in umbilical cord
What is Yolk Sac ?
Manufactures blood cells
- shrinks by the end of embryonic period
What is Amniotic Sac ?
Inner membrane
- Cushions ( protective membrane like bubble wrap)
- Maintains temperature
- Contains fluid, urine, & cells
Placenta
Fully formed by 10th week
Arises from the trophoblast
Secretes hormones to support pregnancy
Umbilical cord
Connects fetus to placenta
Belly button is embyiocial scar
Process of giving birth
First stage of labor
- Early active labor
• Active labor: when cervix is stretching, opening, contractions frequently
• Translation: ( 8-9 min of cervix opening up contractions become closer )
- Second Stage is expulsion
• when the head comes out first, to avoid tangle from umbilical cord
- Third Stage is placenta separating from wall of uterus
• placenta has to be left out of the women body separation of the placenta
Dizygotic Twins ( Fraternal)
- Arise from 2 fertilized ova
2 eggs, 2 sperms; come from 2 sets of egg & 2 sperm - same genetic relationships as 2 siblings
Monozygotic Twins ( Identical )
- 1 single egg by 1 sperm
- Arises from a single fertilized Ovum
- Embryo splits early during development
- Twins may share supportive structures
Fertilization
Occurs in the oviducts
Must occur in 12-24 hrs after ovulation
Takes sperm 30min - 2hr to reach
Speed can survive 3-5 days
Ovulation
Release of oocyte & support cells from ovary
• Triggered by spike in luteinizing hormone ( L H )
• women are born w/ 1 mill primary oocytes
( paused during Prophase 1 ) 400,000 remain at puberty
• a handful will restart mitosis every month
• one secondary oocyte in metaphase 2 will be released
• Empty follicles become CORPUS LUTEUM
- Manufacturers hormones necessary for pregnancy
Oogenesis
- egg of female process
Only produces 1 gamate egg polar body produced in meiosis 1 ( polar bodies incomplete cells contain genetic info) - discontinuous process
- begins meiosis when a fetus
- oocyte arrest at Prophase 1 until puberty
- After puberty, meiosis 1 continues in one or several oocytes each month but halts again at metaphase 2
- meiosis is only completed if the ovum is fertilized
