Developmental Biology

This document outlines the processes of gametogenesis, fertilization, and early development in humans. It discusses the stages of meiosis that occur during oogenesis in females and spermatogenesis in males to produce eggs and sperm. It also covers where and how fertilization takes place when an egg and sperm unite, and the early development of the zygote from fertilization through implantation in the uterine wall. Key terms related to these processes are defined.

OUTLINE

GAMETOGENESIS a. Oogenesis
stages of meiosis in the female ovarian maturation, hormones and cycles ovulation stages of meiosis in the male differentiation (spermiogenesis)

b. Spermatogenesis

FERTILIZATION a. Where it takes place b. How it takes place EARLY DEVELOPMENT

SOME TERMS
Gamete: egg or sperm Gametogenesis: production of eggs or sperm Oogenesis: production of eggs Spermatogenesis: production of sperm Spermiogenesis: differentiation of sperm morphology Follicle: where eggs mature in the ovary Ovulation: release of egg from follicle Polar body: nonfunctional product of meiotic divisions in oogenesis Zygote: Fertilized egg

SOME MORE TERMS Oogonia: mitotically dividing cells in the ovary, will become Oocytes Primary oocyte: decision has been made to undergo meiosis, cell has grown. Cells are arrested at this stage until puberty. Secondary oocyte: has completed first meiotic division the division was unequal in terms of cytoplasm
Ovum: Ovulated egg, ready to be fertilized. If fertilized, the second meitoic division will occur, another polar body will be given off.
