Question
Answer
Conceptus   Developing offspring during pregnancy  
🗑
gestation period   Last menstral period to birth - 280 days  
🗑
embryonic period   fertilization to week 8  
🗑
fetal period   week 9 to birth  
🗑
Sperm fertilizes the __ oocyte.   ovulated secondary oocyte  
🗑
Fertilized egg   zygote - first cell of new individuals  
🗑
What capacitates a sperm so it can fertilize?   Cervical mucus, uterus, uterine tube & secretions of female tract - removes cholesterol of acrosomal membrane.  
🗑
Ovulated oocyte surrounded by?   Corona radiata & zona pellucida - both must be reached by sperm.  
🗑
Sperm receptor on egg.   ZP3 glycoprotein in zona pellucida.  
🗑
Acrosomal reaction   Breakdown of acrosomal membrane & plasma membrane to release acrosomal enzymes to digest hole in zona pellucida.  
🗑
What occurs to block polyspermy?   A corticle reaction - calcium surge that spills enzymes - zonal inhibiting proteins (ZIPs) - that destroy sperm receptors & prevent further sperm entry.  
🗑
What do sperm lose when it enters oocyte?   Tail, midpiece, & centrosome in midpiece that holds microtubules.  
🗑
What prompts secondary oocyte to complete meiosis 2?   Calcium surge due to sperm penetration - forms ovum nubleus to 2nd polar body.  
🗑
Female pronucleus   Ovum nubleus after penetration of ovum & awaits fusion with male pronucleus.  
🗑
When is the true moment of fertilization?   When female pronucleus & male pronucleus combine as their membranes rupture & their chromosomes are released - zygote formed.  
🗑
cleavage   Phase of rapid miotic cell division in zygote without intervening growth periods - blastocyst formed - 2 identical cells.  
🗑
morula   At 72 hours - berry-shaped cluster of 16+ cells  
🗑
Why is multicellular blastocyte only slightly larger than single-celled zygote?   Virtually no growth occurs between successive divisions of cleavage.  
🗑
Trophoblast cells help form?   placenta  
🗑
Inner cell mast in blastocyst becomes?   Embryonic disk & then embryo  
🗑
What surging hormones in blood repare endometrium for implantation?   Estrogens & progesterone  
🗑
Which cells of blastocyte adheres to endometrium?   Trophoblast cells overlying inner cell mass.  
🗑
Period of implantation   5 days & complete usually by 12th day after ovulation.  
🗑
Viability of corpus luteum is maintained by __.   hCG - human chorionic gonadotropin - LH-like hormone secreted by trophoblast cells. Keeps corpus luteum secreting progesterone & estrogen.  
🗑
What do pregnancy tests test for?   Antibody tests that detect hCG.  
🗑
Placentation   Placenta formation - chorion -> chorionic villi + decidua basalis = placenta.  
🗑
What does placenta do?   Nutritive, respiratory, excretory, & endocrine organ.  
🗑
What are the mother/embryo barriers?   Chorionic villi & endothelium of embryonic capillaries.  
🗑
Levels of estrogen & progesterone __ during pregnancy, while hCG levels __.   increase-decline  
🗑
The blastocyst becomes a __.   gastrula - 3 primary germ layers form & extraembryonic membranes develop.  
🗑
Extraembryonic membranes   amnion, yolk sac, allantos, & chorion  
🗑
amnion   Amniotic sac that fills with amniotic fluid & surrounds embryo.  
🗑
yolk sac   Primitive gut - hangs from ventral surface of embryo - forms digestive tube & earliest blood cells & vessels.  
🗑
allantois   Structural base for umbilical cord - links embryo to placenta & becomes part of urinary bladder.  
🗑
The chorion encloses __.   embryonic body & all other membranes.  
🗑
Primary germ layers.   ectoderm, mesoderm, & endoderm  
🗑
gastrulation   2-layered embryonic disk - transforms into 3-layered embryo - week 3  
🗑
The primitive streak establishes __.   the longitudinal axis of embryo.  
🗑
Most inferior germ layer   endoderm  
🗑
First axial support of embryo   notochord - rod of mesodermal cells  
🗑
Ectoderm forms?   "Outer skin" - nervous system & epidermis.  
🗑
Endoderm forms?   "Inner skin" - epithelial lining of digestive, respiration, & urogenital system, & glands.  
🗑
Mesoderm forms?   Skeleton & muscles of body.  
🗑
Organogenesis   Formation of body organs & systems.  
🗑
1st major even of organogenesis   Neurulation - ectoderm that produces brain & spinal cord over notochord.  
🗑
Anterior end of neural tube becomes?   Brain & rest becomes spinal cord.  
🗑
somites   Paired mesodermal blocks that hug notochord on either side - 40 pairs - becomes verterbra & rib, dorsal dermis & muscles of neck, trunk, & limbs.  
🗑
Splanchnic   Mesenchymal cells form heart, blood vessels, & CT of body.  
🗑
Somatic mesoderm   Form ventral dermis, parietal serosa, limbs, bones, ligaments, & limb dermis.  
🗑
coelom   Ventral body cavity - forms it from lateral mesodermal layers.  
🗑
ductus venosus   Venous shunt that bypasses liver sinusoids.  
🗑
Fetus' hepatic veins & ductus venosus empty __.   Into the inferior vena cava where placental blood mixes with deoxygenated blood.  
🗑
Where does fetus' vena cava convey blood?   R-atrium  
🗑
Foramen ovale   Allows fetal blood to pass from right atrium to left atrium - opening in interartrial septum.  
🗑
ductus arteriosus   Transfers blood to aorta & bypasses pulmonary circuit.  
🗑
teratogens   Factors that produce congenital abnormalities - alcohol, drugs, measles.  
🗑
Chadwick's sign   Vagina develops purplish hue as it engorges with blood.  
🗑
chloasma   mask of pregnancy - pigmentation  
🗑
parturition   birth - 280 days from last menstral period  
🗑
What hormone events induce labor?   Estrogen from placenta induces oxytocin receptors on uterus (myometrial cells) - this antagonizes progesterone - fetal cells produce oxytocin & placenta releases prostaglandins - stimulates muscle contraction - positive feedback mech.  
🗑
Both __ & __ are essential for initiating labor.   Oxytocin & prostaglandins  
🗑
Vertex presentation   head-first  
🗑
dystocia   difficult birth due to malformed pelvis.  
🗑
5 Apgar signs   heart rate, respiration, color, muscle tone, & reflexes.  
🗑
What causes baby's first breath?   CO2 build up - acidosis - excites respiratory centers in brain.  
🗑
What hormone causes let-down reflex?   oxytocin  
🗑
