Role of Ovum or Sperm? Provide food reserve until the embryo begins to feed upon exogenous material
Role of Ovum
26
Role of Ovum or Sperm? Contribute the paternal complement of genes
Role of Sperm
27
Changes that occur between sperm and ovum to allow only one sperm to successfully penetrate the ovum
Capacitation
28
Mitotic division of the zygote into a morula
Cleavage
29
Ball of cells that will form a blastula that will implant in the uterus
Morula
30
Stages of Fertilization
Penetration Activation Nuclear Fusion
31
Stages of Fertilization - Random contact between sperm and egg - Sperm propels past corona cells and attach to zona pellucida
Penetration
32
Stages of Fertilization Completion of Meiosis of ovum which forms female pronucleus
Activation
33
Stages of Fertilization - Union of 2 pronuclei - Loss of nuclear envelope, contribution of chromosomes to first mitotic cleavage
Nuclear Fusion
34
The time the sex will be identified
Conception
35
Determines if the chromosome will be an X or a Y
Sperm Cell
36
Oocyte will always carry what chromosome
X chromosome
37
The rapid succession of cell division
Cleavage (The Blastula Stage)
38
Zygotes undergo cell divisions and the produced cells are called?
Blastomeres
39
What do zygotes undergo after fertilization?
Mitosis and Cleavage
40
When do blastocysts begin to attach to the endometrium of the uterus in the process of implantation
1 week after Conception
41
A process where the trophoblast cell of the blastocyst secrete Human Chronic Gonadotropin (HCG)
Implantation
42
Chemical that is detected in pregnancy test kits
Human Chronic Gonadotropin (HCG)
43
When is the secondary oocyte released
After ovulation
44
Stages of Prenatal Development
- Pre-embryonic period - Embryonic period - Fetal period
45
3 Primary germ cells
Ectoderm Mesoderm Endoderm
46
Primary Germ cells: - Layer nearest to amniotic cavity - Differentiates into skin and nervous tissue and parts of the glands
Ectoderm
47
Primary Germ cells: - Middle Layer - Differentiates into structures like muscles
Mesoderm
48
Primary Germ cells: Layer closer to blastocyst cavity
Endoderm
49
Stages of Prenatal Development: First 2 weeks after fertilization of egg/formation of zygote
Pre-embryonic
50
Stages of Prenatal Development: 3rd through 8th weeks when all major organ system begin to develop
Embryonic
51
Stages of Prenatal Development: 9th through 38th weeks when growth dominates
Fetal
52
Stages of Prenatal Development: When does fetal period end
At birth
