fertilization

  • The results of fertilization are:
  1. fusion of membranes and pronuclei of sperm and oocyte

    • forms the zygote
      • division of blastomeres to form the 16-cell morula (mulberry)
        • compaction allows formation of tight junctions to pump fluid into the center of the morula
          • forms the blastocyst
            • inner cell mass (& amniotic cavity)
              • Embryo
              • Inner cell mass: AKA embryoblast
                • embryonic stem cells derived from inner cell mass
                • hypoblast
                  • yolk sac cavity
                    • extraembryonic mesoderm
                      • large cavities form and converge
                        • chorionic cavity
                • epiblast
                  • amnioblasts
                    • amniotic cavity
                      • surrounded by chorionic cavity
            • outer cell mass
              • trophoblast
                • fetal contribution-->placenta
                • cytotrophoblast (inner layer)
                  • extraembryonic mesoderm
                    • lines the cytotrophoblast and amnion
                    • chorionic plate
                      • connecting stalk
                        • the only place where embryonic mesoderm traverses the chorionic cavity
                        • umbilical cord
                • syncytiotrophoblast (outer layer)
                  • human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
                    • pregnancy tests
                • primary villi
                  • cells of cytotrophoblast proliferate and penetrate into the syncytiotrophoblast and are surrounded by synctium
              • flatten to for epithelial wall of blastocyst
  2. restoration of diploid number of chromosomes

  3. determination of chromosomal sex

  4. initiation of cleavage
