Study Notes
Fertilization
- Sperm cell penetrates the zona pellucida and binds with the cell membrane of the ovum during fertilization
- The nucleus of the sperm and the nucleus of the ovum before they are fused is called a pronucleus
Early Embryonic Development
- The process by which the zygote forms an embryo through mitotic cell divisions is called cleavage
- The outer layer responsible for supplying nutrients and giving rise to the placenta is called the trophectoderm
- The outer layer that insulates and supplies nutrients during early embryonic development is called the trophectoderm
Blastula Stage
- The stage in embryonic development where there is a hollow sphere of blastomeres surrounding an inner fluid-filled cavity is called the blastula
- The stage in embryonic development where there is a blastula with an inner fluid-filled cavity and an inner cell mass called the embryoblast is called the blastula
Zygote Development
- The zygote forms a morula containing 8 blastomere cells surrounded by the zona pellucida during the morula stage
- The process by which the ovum thickens its zona pellucida layer to prevent polyspermy is called the zona reaction
