Study Notes

Fallopian Tube

The fallopian tube has three parts: the isthmus (closest to the uterus), the ampulla (widest part), and the infundibulum (funnel-shaped opening).

Gametogenesis

Definition: The process of forming gametes (sex cells) through cell division in the primary sex organs.
Site: In the outer cortex of the ovary.
Stages: Three stages - proliferation, growth, and maturation
- During intrauterine life: proliferation, growth, and the first meiotic division (prophase I) occur
- At puberty: Completion of the first meiotic division, the formation of the secondary oocyte begins the second meiotic division and arrests at metaphase II
- Immediately after fertilization: Completion of the second meiotic division to yield the mature ovum and the second polar body.

Spermatogenesis vs. Oogenesis

Spermatogenesis produces four sperm cells
Oogenesis produces one mature ovum and three polar bodies.

Causes of Premature Labor

20% of cases caused by maternal factors such as diabetes mellitus

Fetal Abnormalities

Fetal abnormalities can lead to premature labor.

Yolk Sac

The yolk sac transfers nutrients to the embryo before the placenta becomes functional.
