where does the sprem wait inactive until ovulation
Definition
isthmus
Term
how long does it take for a sperm to become ready to fertilize once in the uterine tube
Definition

7 hours

Term
what does a sperm need to do to get ready to fertilize
Definition
loose the glycoprotein coatand seminal plasma proteins to reveal acrosome
Term
describe the process of a sperm penetrating the zona pellucida
Definition
sperm binds to ligands, acrosome releases enzymes to penetrate the glycoprotein shell, oocyte release corticol
Term
how does the oocyte prevent other sperm from penetrating
Definition
it releases cortisol granuals
Term
what secretes FGF8

Term
what does brachyury T activate
Definition
nodel, lefty 2, lefty 1
Term

Definition
serotonin
Term
what does 5HT activate
Definition
nodel, lefty 2, lefty 1
Term
what can block / break down 5HT on the right
Definition
MAO, FgF8
Term
what do nodel and lefty 2 activate
Definition
PITX2
Term
what does PITX2 do
Definition
a homeobox that releases transcription factors to create left sidedness
Term
when can lefty 2 be used
Definition
later after neural plate is made
Term
what does lefty 1 do
Definition
keeps left sidedness on the left
Term
where is lefty 1 located
Definition
on the left side floor of the neural tube
Term
what does 5HH do
Definition
keeps left on left
Term
what is 5HH
Definition
a repressor
Term
what activates chordin
Definition
goosecoid transcription factor
Term
what antagonizes BMPh4
Definition
chordin, noggin, follistatin
Term
what organizes the antagonizers of BMPH4
Definition
node
Term
what happens when BMPH4 is antagonized
Definition
cranial mesoderm is dorsalized into notochord, somites, and somitomeres. stops over ventrilization
Term
what happens in areas where BMPh4 isnt antagonized
Definition
mesoderm ventrilization, kidney formation, blood formation
Term
where does BMPH4 come from
Definition
the embryonic disc
Term
what does AVE cause the expression of
Definition
3 transcription factors, cerebrus, lefty
Term
what does AVE ultametly accomplish
Definition
crainial end plate before gastrulation (development of the anteroposterior axis)
Term
what releases AVE
Definition
cranial margin of embryonic disc
Term
explain the process that ends in neural induction
Definition
notochord expresses chordin, noggin, and follistatin leading to induction in the cranial region
Term
what does HNF-3beta do
Definition
maintains node, induces regional specificity in forebrain and midbrain
Term
what happens if HNF-3beta doesnt do its job
Definition
no forebrain or midbrain develops
Term
what expresses brachyury T gene in the regulation of the forsal mesoderm formation in the middle and caudal regions
Definition
node, notochord precursor cels, notochord
Term
what happens after brachuary T is expressed by the node, notochord precursor cels, notochord
Definition
it activates a transcription foactor that causes mesoderm formation in the middle and caudal regions
Term
what happens if the node, notochord precursor cels, notochord regions do not express brachuary T
Definition
caudal dysgenesis (shortening of embryonic axis to a degree based on deficiency time)
Term
begining from the notochord outwards, list the mesoderm layers
Definition
paraxial, intermediate, lateral plate, extraembryonic
Term
what develops from the extraembryonic mesoderm
Definition
chorion
Term
where does the extraembryonic plate mesoderm come from
Definition
primitive yolk sac, hypoblasts
Term
describe the creation of the notocord
Definition
in the epiblast prenotochord cells go into the pit and then into the head region they form a solid notochord
Term
what does the notochord give rise to
Definition
the axial skeleton
Term
