Memo anatomy Flashcards
(60 cards)
Zona pellucida is
glycoprotein coat of the ootid and has receptors for sperm
Ootid is
a mature ocyte
corona radiata
outer cover formed of follicular cells
Site of fertilization
ampulla of uterine tube
five mechanisms of fertilization
Sperms capacitation
Phase I
Phase II
Phase III
Sperm capacitation is
The process of removal of glycoprotein, takes about 7 hours
Phase 2 is
corona radiata penetration, where only 300 sperms reach the ovum and disperse the corona radiata
Phase II is
Zona pellucida penetration, where only ONE sperm pass through via
Sperm binds to receptor
Sperm secrete acrosomal enzyme
Sperm head contacts oocyte membrane
Phase III consists of
Penetration of the oocyte by
sperm and ovum plasma membranes fuse
Fused membrane opens to allow passage of sperm contents
Events occurring after sperm enters oocyte
Cortical and zona reaction: after fertilization, egg releases lysosomal enzymes to prevent binding of more sperms and makes fertilized oocyte membrane impenetrable to other sperms
2nd oocyte completes 2nd mitotic division
Male nucleus becomes larger
Nuclear membrane of both male and female fuse
Cleavage and migration
Two cell stage in first day
Four cell stage in 2nd day
16 cell stage followed by 32 and 64 stage in 3rd day
Implantation def, time, and site
process by which blastocyst becomes embeded in endometrium
7th day and completed at 11th day
Endometrium upper posterior part of the uterus
Implantation steps
Blastocyst adhesion embryonic pole
Trophoblast proliferate at embryonic pole
Blastocyst becomes embedded in the cavity
Changes of blastocyst during implantation
Trophoblast differentiates
Formation of amniotic and yolk sac cavities
Formation of double layered embryonic disc
Abnormal sites of impllantation
Placenta previa parietalis: placenta margin is near internal os.
Placenta previa marginals: Placenta margin covers internal os
Placenta previa centralis: placenta margin covers internal os
Folding is
process which embryonic disc becomes folded upon itself
Types of folding
Cephalo-Caudal folding: Forming head and tail folds
Lateral folding: folding of embryonic disc sides
causes of folding
increase embryonic disc longitudinal length
Amniotic cavity expansion
Limitation of head and tail folds
head fold limited by relatively firm notochord cranial end while tail fold is limited by relatively firm primitive streak
Results of folding
Amniotic cavity expansion leads to primitive umbilical ring
Embryonic disc bulges in amniotic cavity
Embryonic disc changes into cylindrical shape and ectoderm becomes on embryo outer surface
Part of yolk sac is incorporated inside folded embryo leading to gut formation
Formation of definitive yolk
Peritoneal canals of intraembryonic coelom surround gut
Formation of forebrain bulge
Reversal of position of heart and pericardium become cranial to septum
What are the fetal membranes
Chorion and placenta
Amnion
Umbilical cord
Yolk sac
Chorion formation
At 12th day, extra-embryonic mesoderm is formed. Two mesodermal division:
Somatic mesoderm
Splanchnic mesoderm
Layers of chorion layers external to internal
Syncytiotrophoblast
Cytotrophoblast
Extraembryonic somatic mesoderm
site of placenta and the 2 surfaces
Most upper segment of uterine cavity posterior wall
Fetal surface: smooth surface
Maternal surface; lying in contact of uterine wall
