This document summarizes the anatomy and fertilization process of human sperm and eggs. It describes that sperm are much smaller than eggs. Upon entering the fallopian tubes, sperm undergo capacitation over 5-7 hours to become able to fertilize eggs. Fertilization involves the sperm binding and fusing with the egg, preventing multiple sperm from entering through the zona reaction. This results in a zygote with a combined 46 chromosomes from the male and female pronuclei.
Fertilization is the process where the male and female gametes, or pronuclei, fuse to form a single cell called a zygote. It takes place in the fallopian tubes within 12-24 hours of ovulation. The male gamete, or sperm, must undergo capacitation and the acrosome reaction to penetrate the barriers of the female gamete, or egg. Once the sperm fuses with the egg, it activates the completion of the second meiotic division of the egg. The male and female pronuclei then form, with 23 chromosomes each, and their chromosomes combine to restore the diploid number of 46 chromosomes and form the zygote's embryonic genome.
This document discusses the process of human fertilization and early embryonic development. It begins by explaining that fertilization occurs when a sperm and egg fuse, forming a single-celled zygote. The zygote then undergoes rapid cell division called cleavage to form a solid ball of cells called a morula. By the end of the first week, the morula has further developed into a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst begins to implant in the uterine wall, marking the beginning of the embryonic period of development.
The document discusses the process of human development from fertilization through the first week. It explains that fertilization occurs when a sperm penetrates an ovum in the fallopian tube, forming a zygote with 46 chromosomes. The zygote then undergoes rapid cell division as it is transported down the fallopian tube by cilia motion. By the end of the first week, the embryo has divided into multiple identical cells or blastomeres.
The document summarizes the process of human fertilization in 6 stages:
1) Capacitation of sperm in the female reproductive tract.
2) The acrosome reaction allows sperm to penetrate the corona radiata.
3) A single sperm fuses with the oocyte plasma membrane.
4) The second meiotic division of the oocyte is completed, forming the female pronucleus.
5) The male and female pronuclei fuse, forming a single cell with a full chromosome complement.
6) The zygote undergoes its first cell division, forming a two-cell embryo.
This document discusses gametogenesis, fertilization, and early human development. It describes the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis where haploid gametes are formed through meiosis. Fertilization involves the sperm penetrating the egg's layers and fusing with the egg cell. Early development stages include cleavage, formation of the morula and blastocyst, and implantation in the uterus between 6-7 days after fertilization. The blastocyst contains an inner cell mass that will form the embryo and outer trophoblast cells that will contribute to placental tissues.
This document discusses gametogenesis, fertilization, and early human development. It begins by explaining the processes of spermatogenesis and oogenesis, how eggs and sperm are produced through meiosis with half the normal number of chromosomes. Fertilization is then summarized, including the phases from sperm penetration through formation of the male and female pronuclei and fusion into a zygote. Finally, it mentions that early development involves repeated cleavage divisions of the zygote resulting in a rapid increase in cell number.

The document discusses the process of fertilization and early embryonic development. It begins with an overview of the events of fertilization, including sperm penetration through the corona radiata and zona pellucida, the cortical reaction, and fusion of the male and female pronuclei. It then describes the early cleavage stages, where the zygote undergoes rapid cell divisions without growth to form a morula, followed by blastulation and implantation in the uterus. Key events include capacitation of sperm, the acrosomal reaction, prevention of polyspermy, and formation of the blastocyst from the inner cell mass and trophoblast.
The document discusses the process of fertilization in mammals like humans. It begins with the anatomy of sperm and ova. Upon contact with sperm, the ova completes meiosis to become a mature egg. The sperm undergoes capacitation to prepare for fertilization. Fertilization typically occurs in the fallopian tubes. The sperm binds to and penetrates the egg's extracellular barriers. This triggers activation of the egg and fusion of the male and female pronuclei, restoring diploidy. The zygote then undergoes cell division.
Anomalies of the first and second branchial archesDr Medical
https://userupload.net/8n9v7tg9jkl1
Anomalies of the branchial arches are the second most common congenital lesions of the head and neck in children [1]. They may present as cysts, sinus tracts, fistulae or cartilaginous remnants and present with typical clinical and radiological patterns dependent on which arch is involved. The course of a particular branchial anomaly is caudal to the structures derived from the corresponding arch and dorsal to the structures that develop from the following arch. Branchial anomalies are further typed into cysts, sinuses, and fistulas.
1) The sperm and egg undergo a series of changes to prepare for fertilization. The sperm undergoes capacitation in the female reproductive tract while the egg is swept into the fallopian tubes.
2) Upon contact, the acrosomal reaction occurs, releasing enzymes that allow the sperm to penetrate the egg's extracellular layers.
3) One sperm fuses with the egg, and their pronuclei also fuse to form a single diploid cell with 46 chromosomes. Rapid changes then prevent additional sperm from fertilizing the egg.
1. Fertilization involves the fusion of a sperm and egg nuclei to form a zygote.
2. It restores the diploid number of chromosomes and determines the sex of the embryo.
3. A series of events must occur for fertilization to be successful, including capacitation of sperm, penetration of the zona pellucida, fusion of membranes, and formation of male and female pronuclei.
The document summarizes the transportation of gametes during reproduction. It describes how the secondary oocyte is swept into the uterine tube by the fimbriae. Sperm are transported from the epididymis through the ductus deferens by contractions. Hundreds of millions of sperm are deposited in the vagina during intercourse. The sperm pass through the cervical canal and uterus, with only a few hundred reaching the fertilization site in the ampulla of the uterine tube. Both gametes remain viable for around 48 hours. Fertilization is a complex process that results in the fusion of the sperm and oocyte pronuclei to form a zygote, which then undergoes cleavage to form a morula
1) Gametogenesis is the process by which gametes (eggs and sperm) are formed through meiosis in both males and females. Oogenesis occurs in females and produces eggs, while spermatogenesis produces sperm in males.
2) Oogenesis begins with primordial germ cells that develop into oocytes through meiosis. At puberty, a few oocytes complete the first meiotic division and arrest until ovulation. Spermatogenesis occurs through meiosis within the testes, producing spermatids that transform into sperm.
3) Fertilization is the fusion of an egg and sperm. It involves the approximation and fusion of the gametes, restoring the diploid number of chromosomes
The document describes several key processes in human development:
1. Gamete production and spermatogenesis/oogenesis which involve the formation of sperm and eggs through meiosis in the gonads.
2. Fertilization, which requires the sperm penetrating the egg's jelly coat and plasma membrane fusing with the egg's plasma membrane.
3. Cleavage, where the zygote rapidly divides through mitosis to form a morula then blastula.
4. Gastrulation creates the three germ layers and primitive streak that patterns the embryo.
5. Neurulation forms the neural tube which later becomes the brain and spinal cord through primary then secondary neurulation.
Gametogenesis is the process of maturation of gametes (sperm and eggs). Oogenesis is the development of a mature ovum from primitive germ cells. It involves meiotic division producing primary and secondary oocytes. Spermatogenesis is the development of spermatids from germ cells through meiotic division producing spermatocytes and spermatids. After ovulation and ejaculation, the oocyte and sperm are transported to the site of fertilization where penetration and fusion occurs to form a zygote, which undergoes cell division to become a morula and is transported to the uterus.
Gametogenesis is the process of developing mature gametes (eggs and sperm) through meiosis. Oogenesis involves the development of a primary oocyte into a secondary oocyte over many years in females. Spermatogenesis is the process where spermatogonia develop into spermatozoa in males. Fertilization occurs when a sperm penetrates an egg in the fallopian tube, and their genetic material combines to form a zygote, beginning the process of embryogenesis.
Fundamentals and basics of reproduction.pptxAbhijitNath46
This document discusses the physiology of ovulation, menstruation, fertilization, and implantation. It provides details on:
1) Gametogenesis and oogenesis - the development of eggs and sperm through meiotic cell division.
2) The hormonal causes of ovulation, including the LH and FSH surges near midcycle.
3) The process of fertilization, including sperm migration in the fallopian tubes and penetration of the egg.
4) Early embryonic development from the zygote to morula and blastocyst stages over 5 days, and implantation in the uterine wall.
Fertilization in sea urchins involves several key steps:
1) Sperm are attracted to eggs via chemotaxis using peptides like resact.
2) The acrosomal reaction allows sperm to penetrate the egg jelly and bindin aids binding to the egg.
3) Prevention of polyspermy involves a fast block changing membrane potential and slow block from cortical granule exocytosis.
4) Metabolic activation and pronuclear fusion within the egg forms a zygote, completing fertilization.
Fertilization involves the fusion of an egg and sperm cell. It is a multi-stage process beginning with sperm penetration of the egg's outer layers and ending with the fusion of genetic material to form a single cell called a zygote. The zygote then undergoes cell division called cleavage as it travels through the fallopian tube. Around 6 days after fertilization, the blastocyst implants in the lining of the uterus, where it derives nourishment and establishes the beginnings of the placenta and embryonic development. Implantation normally occurs in the uterine wall, but can sometimes occur in abnormal locations leading to ectopic pregnancy.
The document summarizes the process of fertilization. It begins with the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote, which triggers embryonic development. Fertilization internally joins the sperm and egg in the fallopian tubes through a series of steps, including capacitation, the acrosome reaction, and fusion. The union activates the egg and causes the formation of male and female pronuclei that fuse to form a single diploid nucleus, marking the start of the zygote.
The document discusses early concepts of development including preformation versus epigenesis. It was once thought that the embryo was preformed in the egg, but experiments demonstrated that undifferentiated material in the egg becomes arranged through epigenesis. Key developmental stages are described including fertilization, cleavage, blastula formation, and gastrulation which establishes the three germ layers. Differences in protostome and deuterostome development are outlined, focusing on differences in cleavage, fate determination, and body axis formation. The role of induction in patterning the embryo is also summarized.
This document summarizes the key stages in human reproduction from ovulation through implantation. It describes how ovulation is triggered by hormones, followed by fertilization if sperm penetrate the egg's barriers. The zygote then undergoes cell division as it develops into a blastocyst, which implants in the uterine wall. Successful implantation depends on cellular interactions between the trophoblast and endometrium.
Fertilization involves the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote, which triggers embryonic development. Several key steps occur, including capacitation of sperm as they travel through the female reproductive tract, the acrosome reaction that allows sperm to penetrate the zona pellucida surrounding the egg, and fusion of the male and female pronuclei inside the egg. This activation of the egg prevents polyspermy and leads to the first cell divisions and formation of a multicellular embryo through cleavage, blastulation and gastrulation.
Fertilization is the process by which an egg is fertilized by a sperm to produce a new organism. It begins with the collision of sperm and egg and ends with the formation of a single-celled zygote. Fertilization usually occurs in the fallopian tubes. The zygote then undergoes cell division called cleavage over the next few days as it is transported down the fallopian tube through the uterus and into the womb. By the fourth day, it develops into a hollow ball of cells called a blastocyst which implants in the uterine wall, where it continues to develop into an embryo.

3. FERTILIZATION
Definition:
The process of fusion of two mature germ cells, an
ovum and a spermatozoon to form a single cell zygote.
Site of fertilization:
─The ampulla of fallopian tube which is the widest
portion.
─ Lateral third of fallopian tube.
5/20/2024 Fertilization 3
5. Abnormal sites:
─ Peritoneal cavity
─ Ovarian follicle
Pecularities:
Two highly specialized haploid gametes are fused resulting in the formation of most
unspecialized or undifferentiated diploid zygote.
5/20/2024 Fertilization 5
6. Phases of Fertilization
Passage of a sperm through the corona radiata.
Penetration of the zona pellucida.
Fusion of plasma membranes of the oocyte and sperm.
Completion of the second meiotic division of oocyte and formation of female
pronucleus.
Formation of the male pronucleus.
As the pronuclei fuse into a single diploid aggregation of chromosomes, the ootid becomes a zygote.
5/20/2024 Fertilization 6
7. Mechanism of fertilization is complex, for the descriptive purpose it
can be studied through following stages,
- Approximation of the gametes
- Contact & fusion of the gametes
- Effects of fertilization
5/20/2024 Fertilization 7
8. 1. Approximation of the gametes:
It involves the transport of the sperms and ova in the female genital tract to reach the
uterine tube.
5/20/2024 Fertilization 8
9. Cont..
During the ascent of spermatozoa through
female genital tract the spermatozoa are gradually
reduced in number by barriers provided by abrupt
constrictions at the cervix & uterine ostium of the
tube.
As a result remarkably reduced number of
sperms(about 300-500 sperms) appears at the site
of fertilization.
5/20/2024 Fertilization 9
10. Cont…
Most of the sperms die within 24hrs after
ejaculation.
Transport of the oocyte into the uterine tube is
encouraged by the ciliary beats & rhythmical
contractions of the musculature of uterine tube.
5/20/2024 Fertilization 10
11. 2.Contact & fusion of the gametes
A direct contact between the spermatozoa & zona pellucida of secondary
oocyte is necessary before actual fusion of the gametes.
Three barriers protect the female gamete before penetration by the
fertilizing sperm.
The barriers are provided by the following,
1)Corona radiata
2)Zona pellucida
3)Vetilline membrane
5/20/2024 Fertilization 11
13. Cont ..
Prior to penetration the spermatozoa undergo a process of capacitation, followed by acrosome
reaction in the female genital tract.
Capacitation:
Increase the activity of the sperm
Acrosome reaction:
• Enzyme contained in the Acrosome released and react with the zona pellucid
5/20/2024 Fertilization 13
15. Cont..
The cytoplasm of mature ovum contains two
pronuclei.
1. The sperm head with its nuclear envelop.
It contains 1N haploid chromosomes is somewhat
swollen to form male pro nucleus.
2. In the same way the nucleus of mature ovum forms
female pronucleus.
At this stage both male & female pronuclei also
called ootids approach each other for fusion.

16. • A. Scanning electron micrograph of
sperm binding to the zona pellucida.
• B. The three phases of oocyte
penetration.
• ► In phase 1,
spermatozoa pass through
the corona radiate barrier;
• ► In phase 2,
• one or more spermatozoa
penetrate the zona pellucida;
• ► In phase 3,
• one spermatozoon penetrates
the oocyte membrane while losing
its own plasma membrane.
• Inset shows normal
• spermatocyte with acrosomal head

17. RESULT OF FERTILIZATION
1)Completion of second meiotic
division of the female gamete
Immediately after the entrance of a
spermatozoon into the secondary
oocyte, the latter completes the
second maturation division.

2)Restoration of diploid number of chromosomes in
the zygote
The head of the spermatozoon containing haploid
chromosomes swells and form male pronucleus
Both male and female pronuclei each containing 1N
DNA complement replicate their DNA to form DNA
duplex before their actual fusion.

The male and female pronuclei meet each other
near the centre of the ovum and the nuclear
membrane disappear.
This results in the nuclear fusion with the
restoration of the diploid number of chromosome
which is constant for the species.

20. 3)Determination of chromosomal sex
Out of total sperm population half of them contain x
bearing chromosomes and the remaining half y
bearing chromosomes.
When an X bearing spermatozoon fertilize an ovum
the zygote contains 2X chromosomes plus 44
autosomes & a female child is formed.
If the ovum is fertilized by Y bearing spermatzoon the
sex of zygote will be male containing XY
chromosomes plus 44 autosomes.
Therefore the father decides the chromosomal sex of
the off spring.

21. 4)Initiation of cleavage division
Fertilization provides energy for
the repeated mitotic division of
the single celled zygote.
It results in the formation of a
mass of cells called the morula.

22. The line of entry of the spermatozoon probably decides the cephalo caudal
polarity of the zygote.
Also bilateral symmetry of the embryo.
6)Embryo contain only maternal mitochondria because
sperm mitochondria are dispersed in cytoplasm of ovum
and discarded.
RESULT OF FERTILIZTION
1) ON OVARY – the corpus luteum changes to corpus luteum of pregnancy.
2) ON UTERUS – the secretory changes starts in endometrium.
3) ON ZYGOTE – cleavage division starts.
