PowerPoint® Lecture Slides prepared by Barbara Heard, Atlantic Cape Community College CHAPTER 28 Pregnancy and Human Development: Part A © Annie Leibovitz/Contact Press Images © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Pregnancy • Pregnancy - events that occur from fertilization until infant born • Conceptus - developing offspring • Gestation period - time from last menstrual period until birth (~280 days) • Embryo - conceptus from fertilization through week 8 • Fetus - conceptus from week 9 through birth © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 28.1 Diagrams showing the approximate size of a human conceptus from fertilization to the early fetal stage. Embryo Fertilization 1-week conceptus 3-week embryo (3 mm) 5-week embryo (10 mm) 8-week embryo (22 mm) 12-week fetus (90 mm) © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. From Egg to Zygote • Oocyte viable for 12 to 24 hours • Sperm viable 24 to 48 hours after ejaculation © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. From Egg to Zygote • For fertilization to occur, coitus must occur no more than – Two days before ovulation – 24 hours after ovulation • Fertilization - sperm's chromosomes combine with those of secondary oocyte to form fertilized egg (zygote) © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Accomplishing Fertilization • Ejaculated sperm – Leak out of vagina immediately after deposition – Destroyed by acidic vaginal environment – Fail to make it through cervix – Dispersed in uterine cavity or destroyed by phagocytes – Few (100 to a few thousand) reach uterine tubes © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Accomplishing Fertilization • Sperm must become motile • Sperm must be capacitated before they can penetrate oocyte – Motility must be enhanced; membranes must become fragile to release hydrolytic enzymes • Secretions of female tract weaken acrosome membrane • Sperm follow "olfactory trail" to reach oocyte © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Acrosomal Reaction and Sperm Penetration • Sperm must breach oocyte coverings – Corona radiata and zona pellucida • Sperm weaves through corona radiata, then binds to zona pellucida and undergoes acrosomal reaction – Enzymes released to digest holes in zona pellucida – Hundreds of acrosomes release enzymes to digest zona pellucida © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 28.2 Sperm Penetration and the Cortical Reaction. Sperm, delivered to the vagina and capacitated in the female reproductive tract, stream toward a secondary oocyte. Slide 1 2 Acrosomal reaction. Binding of the sperm to sperm-binding receptors in the zona pellucida causes the Ca2+ levels within the sperm to rise, triggering the acrosomal reaction. Acrosomal enzymes from many sperm digest holes through the zona pellucida, clearing a path to the oocyte membrane. 3 Binding. The sperm’s membrane binds to the oocyte’s Sperm-binding receptors. 4 Fusion. The sperm and oocyte plasma membranes fuse, allowing sperm contents to enter the oocyte. 1 Approach. Aided by enzymes on its surface, a sperm cell weaves its way past granulosa cells of the corona radiata. 5 Block of polyspermy. Entry of the sperm’s contents causes Ca2+ levels in the oocyte’s cytoplasm to rise, triggering the cortical reaction (exocytosis of cortical granules). As a result, the zona pellucida hardens and the sperm receptors are clipped off (slow block to polyspermy).

Cortical granules Slide 5 Block to Polyspermy • Upon entry of sperm, Ca2+ surge from ER causes cortical reaction – Cortical granules release enzymes (zonal inhibiting proteins, or ZIPs) – ZIPs destroy sperm receptors – Spilled fluid binds water and swells, detaching other sperm (slow block to polyspermy) © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Events of Embryonic Development: Zygote to Blastocyst Implantation • Cleavage – Occurs while zygote moves toward uterus – Mitotic divisions of zygote – First cleavage at 36 hours two daughter cells (blastomeres) – At 72 hours morula (16 or more cells) • At day 4 or 5, blastocyst (embryo of ~100 cells) reaches uterus © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Embryonic Development • Blastocyst - fluid-filled hollow sphere composed of – Trophoblast cells • Display immunosuppressive factors • Participate in placenta formation – Inner cell mass • Becomes embryonic disc ( embryo and three of embryonic membranes) © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Blastocyst cavity Inner cell mass Implantation • Blastocyst floats for 2–3 days – Nourished by uterine secretions • Implantation begins 6–7 days after ovulation – Trophoblast cells adhere to site with proper receptors and chemical signals – Inflammatory-like response occurs in endometrium • Uterine blood vessels more permeable and leaky; inflammatory cells invade area © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 28.5a Implantation of the blastocyst. Endometrium Uterine endometrial epithelium Inner cell mass Trophoblast Blastocyst cavity Lumen of uterus © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Implantation • Trophoblasts proliferate and form two distinct layers – Cytotrophoblast (cellular trophoblast) inner layer of cells – Syncytiotrophoblast (syncytial trophoblast) - cells in outer layer lose plasma membranes, invade and digest endometrium • Blastocyst burrows into lining surrounded by pool of leaked blood; endometrial cells cover and seal off implanted blastocyst © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Hormonal Changes During Pregnancy • Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) – Secreted by trophoblast cells; later chorion – Prompts corpus luteum to continue secretion of progesterone and estrogen – Promotes placental development via its autocrine growth factor activity – hCG levels rise until end of second month, then decline as placenta begins to secrete progesterone and estrogen; low values at 4 months and rest of pregnancy © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
