Histology Lecture - M1 L3 Check-In Activity

The video discusses human fertilization and the formation of the three germ layers - ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. The ectoderm forms the nervous system and skin, the mesoderm forms muscles and connective tissue, and the endoderm forms internal organs. Fertilization occurs when a single sperm penetrates the egg membrane, fusing the membranes and pulling the sperm inside. This causes changes to the egg membrane to prevent additional sperm from entering. The genetic material from the egg and sperm then combine to form the beginnings of a new human.

M1 L3 Check-in Activity

A. Title of video clip you watched;


- The title of the video of the clip that I have watched is called “Fertilization”.

B. New informations you learn (include germ layers & its derivatives)
- The endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm are the three germ layers. Ectoderm is responsible for
the formation of the nervous system and the epidermis, among other tissues, while the mesoderm
in the body gives rise to muscle cells and connective tissue. The endoderm is responsible for the
formation of the intestines and other internal organs. The zygote is the beginning of a new human
life; moreover, the cilia and fallopian tube gently carry the zygote toward the uterus, where it will
plant within the more fertile uterine lining. It will develop and mature over the next nine months
until it is ready for delivery.

C. Questions you have;


• Why does the egg cell membrane alter when a single sperm penetrates it?
• How does it works when the result of human fertilization are twins?

D. Short summary of the video you watched;


- The video shows human fertilization. During a sexual interaction, around 300 million sperm enter
the vaginal canal. The unfertilized egg attracts half of the sperm, while the empty Fallopian tube
attracts the other half. Sperm must overcome several hurdles in the female reproductive canal in
order to reach the egg. The genetic material from the egg and a single sperm is then combined to
create a new human being. When the egg is fertilized by the first sperm that comes into touch
with it, a single sperm links to the egg cell membrane, the outer membranes fuse, and the egg
pulls the sperm inside. The incident will create modifications to the egg membrane, preventing
additional sperm from sticking to it, then the egg will then release molecules that drive other
sperm away from the egg. The male pronucleus is formed when a new membrane develops
around the genetic material. The genetic material is divided into 23 chromosomes. After finishing
the fertilization process at this point, a unique genetic code emerges quickly, defining gender, hair
color, eye color, and other traits.
