Question
Answer
Capacitation   Period of sperm conditioning in female reproductive tract. Prepares acrosome for fertilization. Bumped against cilia.  
🗑
Fertilization   Combines the genetic material from the sperm and oocyte. Occurs in the uterine tube. Most commonly the ampula.  
🗑
Three phases of fertilization   1. Corona Radiata Penetration. 2. Zona Pellucida Penetration. 3. Fusion of Sperm and Oocyte Plasma Membranes.  
🗑
1. Corona Radiata Penetration   Acrosome Reaction: acrosome releases enzymes to enable sperm to penetrate teh corona radiata.  
🗑
2. Zona pellucida Penetration   Acrosome continues to release enzymes to penetrate the zona pellucida. Zona pellucida hardens after 1 sperm penetrates, preventing polyspermy.  
🗑
3. Fusion of Sperm and Oocyte Plasma Membranes   Once the nucleus of sperm enters teh secondary oocyte, the oocyte completes second meiotic division. Sperm and ovum fuse, forming a single nucleus.  
🗑
Blastocyst   Trophoblast and Inner Cell Mass (Embryoblast). Implants into the stratum functionalis on day 7.  
🗑
Implantation   7 days after fertilization. Zona pellucida begins to break down. Trophoblast subdivides: Cytotrophoblast-inner layer, Syncitiotrophoblast-outer layer. Burrows into the stratum functionalis of the endometrium.  
🗑
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin   Syncytiotrophoblast produces hCG. Signals the woman's body to continue uterine growth instead of menstruation. hCG levels are high enough in blood to be detected in urine after 2 weeks of pregnancy. Detected in pregnancy tests.  
🗑
Development of the Placenta   Maternal portion from stratum functionalis. Fetal portion from chorion. Mother & baby's blood never mix. Transfer: nutrients, gases, bacteria, viruses, alcohol, drugs, antibodies. Umbilical cord connects fetus to placenta.  
🗑
Chorionic villia   Branches of fetal blood vessels  
🗑
Sexual Differentiation of the Embryo   No difference before week 5. Genital (Gonadal) ridges become gonads in week 5.  
🗑
Presence of Testis Determining Factor (TDF) gene causes   genital ridges to become testes. Males have a TDF gene on the Y chromosome.  
🗑
Absence of TDF gene causes   genital ridges to develop into ovaries. Females have no Y chromosome or TDF gene.  
🗑
Development of Internal Organs   Embryos initially contain both male & female duct systems: paramesonephric & mesonephric ducts. Presence or absence of certain genes & hormones determines which duct system will degenerate.  
🗑
Internal Male Development   Paramesonephric duct degenerates. mesonephric duct remains: becomes epididymis & vas deferens in male embryos.  
🗑
Internal Female Development   Mesonephric duct degenerates. Paramesonephric duct remains: Becomes oviducts and uterus in female embryos.  
🗑
External Development   Genital tubercle becomes clitoris in females & glans penis in males. Labioscrotal swelling becomes labia majora in females & scrotum in males.  
🗑
True Hermaphrodite   Have both ovarian & testicular structures & ambiguous (or female) external genitalia. Very rare. Typically the ovarian & testicular structures are not functional.  
🗑
Psudohermaphrodite   Genetic sex and phenotypic sex don't match. Too much or too little testosterone during development. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia-1 in 10,000-18,000. Fetal adrenal glands produce excessive androgen. Female fetus appears more male. Much more common.  
🗑
Stages of labor   1. dilation 2. expulsion 3. placental  
🗑
Dilation   Begins with first regular contractions & ends when cervix is fully dilated by baby's head. Longest stage.  
🗑
Expulsion   Lasts from full dilation to delivery.  
🗑
Placental   Eliminates placenta. Accomplished w/i 15 minutes after birth of infant.  
🗑
Reasons for a Cesarean Section   Previous C-section. Deformes or male-like pelvis. Placenta previa-covers cervix. Placenta abruption-detaches before baby is born. Emergency. Atypical presentation of neonate.  
🗑
Neonate Presentations   Typical: Cranial end first. Baby faces mother's posterior side. Atypical: Back presentation: baby faces mother's anterior side. Breach: baby's caudal end is first.  
🗑
