Study Notes
Gametogenesis Overview
- A sperm fertilizes an ovum in the fallopian tube, forming a zygote.
- The zygote travels through the fallopian tube, developing into a blastocyst.
- The blastocyst reaches the uterus.
- Inside the blastocyst is a group of cells called the inner cell mass.
- The blastocyst implants in the uterine endometrium.
- The inner cell mass divides and forms a two-layered disc.
- The upper layer is called the epiblast.
- The lower layer is called the hypoblast.
