First Week of Development PPT Summary
- Fertilization occurs in the ampullary region of the uterine tube, where sperm must undergo capacitation before they can fertilize the oocyte.
- The journey of sperm from the cervix to the site of fertilization can take from 30 minutes to 6 days, and only 300 to 500 sperm typically reach the oocyte.
- The acrosome reaction is critical for sperm to penetrate the zona pellucida, facilitated by enzymes released upon binding to zona proteins.
- Cleavage begins once the zygote is formed, leading to the development of a morula and subsequently a blastocyst.
- The blastocyst consists of two distinct cell masses: the embryoblast, which will develop into the embryo, and the trophoblast, which will contribute to the placenta.
