1. Reproductive System

2. Cells that are used to pass genetic info onto the next generation.
Also known as Gametes.
Male sex cells: sperm Female sex cells: eggs
Use flagella to travel

3. What is fertilization?
Sperm swim actively through the uterus into the Fallopian tubes.
Fertilization is the union of a sperm cell and an egg cell to form a zygote.
Occurs in Fallopian tube
Only 1 sperm can fertilize an egg
To the Teacher:

4. What is implantation?
Zygote divides several times to form a solid ball of cells called a morula.
More cellular divisions result in a blastocyst, a hallow ball of cells with a large fluid cavity.
Blastocyst burrows into the lining of the uterus during implantation.
Describe the process of fertilization and implantation?

5. What happens after implantation?
Implanted blastocyst gradually sorts itself into three layers forming a gastrula.
All the organs and tissues of the embryo will be formed from these three layers by cell differentiation.
-Ectoderm
-Mesoderm
-Endoderm

6. What is neurulation?
Neurulation is the development of the nervous system.
Neural folds create neural tube.
One end of the neural tube will develop into the brain, the other end develops into the spinal cord.

7. Zygote- Fertilized Egg Morula – Solid ball of cells
You need to know the process of human development from zygote to birth.
Zygote- Fertilized Egg
Morula – Solid ball of cells
Blastocyst-hollow ball of dividing cells.
Gastrula – Three layers

8. Fallopian Tube
Oviduct
Uterus
OVARY

9. Development in three Stages
Zygote: First 2 weeks of pregnancy
Made up of only one cell.
Embryo: 3rd -8th week of development
Most major organs and structures are formed during the embryonic stage.
Fetus: 9th week until delivery
The fetal stage is characterized by rapid growth.

10. What are some important Extraembryonic structures?
Placenta is the structure through which the mother nourishes the embryo
Umbilical cord contains arteries and veins that carry blood between the embryo and the placenta C
Amniotic sac is a membrane that surrounds the embryo
Amniotic fluid keeps cushions the embryo from injury and keeps it moist

14. What are the major milestones of the first trimester?
All organ systems begin to form (cell differentiation)
Nervous system begins forming
Heart begins beating
Embryo begins to move
Ears, eyelids, and teeth buds are formed
Worst time for drugs/alcohol.

15. Why is Early Development so Important?
Early development can be disrupted by a number of external factors.
Many substances can penetrate the placenta.
AIDS and German measles.
Alcohol and other addictive substances.
Medications.

16. What are the major milestones of the second trimester?
Mostly growth
Fetal skeleton forms
Mother can feel the fetus moves
Fetus can now hear.
Hair and nails forms on the body
Sex organs form, therefore, sex can be determined.

17. What are the major milestones of the third trimester?
Fetus turn into a head-down position.
Fat is deposited beneath the skin
A greasy substance forms on the fetus skin.
Lungs mature
Most weight gain
Fetus can see light and react to sounds.

18. Muscles in the vagina and cervix relax allowing them to enlarge.
What is birth?
Takes place about 38 weeks after fertilization.
Muscles in the vagina and cervix relax allowing them to enlarge.
Oxytocin is released and uterine contractions being forcing the fetus through birth canal.
Once umbilical cord is cut, baby functions independently

A. a zygote
B. an infant
C. a fetus
D. a morula

29. Abnormalities present in the cells that line the uterus may prevent the production of offspring by directly interfering with which process?
A. the development of the embryo
B. the differentiation of gametes into zygotes
C. the secretion of estrogen by the ovary
D. the production and release of egg cells

30. What is the essential question?
Summarize that changes that occur each trimester during the development of the embryo or fetus.
Answer:
First trimester
Organ systems begin to form (cell differentiation)
Nervous system begins forming
Heart begins beating
Embryo begins to move
