Study Notes
Spermatogenesis
- Independent assortment of chromosomes occurs during the transition from primary spermatocyte to secondary spermatocyte.
Ovulation and Fertilization
- The expected fertilization window after ovulation for a woman with a regular 28-day cycle is approximately 24 hours.
- The conceptus reaches the uterine cavity at the 16 cells stage (morula) on day 5.
- The secondary oocyte is retrieved during in-vitro fertilization treatment.
- Oocyte maturation inhibitor is responsible for arresting the primary oocyte in the diplotene stage of prophase-1.
Meiosis I
- In prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through crossing over.
- Leptotene and pachytene occur during prophase I of meiosis.
Sex Determination and Chromosomes
- The X and Y chromosomes determine the sex of the fetus.
Oocyte Development and Maturation
- The primary oocyte is arrested in the diplotene stage of prophase I at birth and remains there until puberty.
- A luteinizing hormone (LH) surge triggers the completion of meiosis I and the release of the secondary oocyte at ovulation.
- The secondary oocyte is arrested in metaphase II of meiosis II until fertilization occurs.
Secondary Oocyte Completion
- The secondary oocyte completes meiosis II and forms a mature ovum (egg) when fertilized by a sperm.
- This forms a female pronucleus, which fuses with the male pronucleus to form a zygote.
- A woman will typically ovulate around 480 ova during her reproductive life.
Meiosis II and Genetic Recombination
- Crossing over is the process where genetic recombination in meiosis results in the exchange of large DNA segments, leading to offspring characteristics differing from their parents.
- The secondary oocyte is arrested in metaphase II of meiosis II right before ovulation.
Embryonic Development
- The extra-embryonic mesoderm is derived from the epiblast.
- The connecting stalk, connecting the amnion and extra coelomic cavities, is the precursor of the primary umbilical cord.
- Chorionic villi start developing around day 15.
- Tertiary chorionic villi are composed of central fetal blood vessels surrounded by mesoderm and trophoblast.
- The hypoblast cells of the bilaminar disc give rise to the yolk sac, lined by cuboidal endodermal cells.
- Neural crest cells contribute to the development of the melanocytes, parafollicular cells (C cells) of the thyroid gland, and spinal ganglion cells.
Neural Crest Cells
- Neural crest cells are a group of cells that migrate from the neural tube and contribute to a variety of tissues, including the peripheral nervous system, melanocytes, and certain endocrine cells.
Pharyngeal Arch Bones
- Pharyngeal arch bones contribute to the development of the malleus, incus, stapes, mandible, and hyoid bones.
