16.3(Fertilization and Pregnancy) Study Guide
Concepts
□ I describe the chromosomal factors and hormonal influences on the
formation of the gonads and reproductive organs in the female and male
embryo and fetus ie: Y chromosome, and role of testosterone (16.3)
□ I can explain how sexually transmitted infections can interfere with fertility
and reproduction (16.3)
□ I can trace the processes of fertilization, implantation, and extra-embryonic
membrane formation ie: amnion, chorion, followed by embryo
development, placental and fetal development, parturition and lactation, and
the control mechanisms of the above events ie: progesterone, LH, hCG,
oxytocin, prolactin, prostaglandins (16.3)
□ I can describe development from fertilization to parturition in the context of
the main physiological events that occur in the development of organ
systems during each major stage (trimester) ie: zygote, blastocyst,
gastrulation, general morphogenesis (16.3)
□ I can identify major tissues and organs that arise from morphological
development of the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm ie:
ectoderm: nervous system, epidermis; mesoderm: skeleton, muscles,
reproductive structures; endoderm: lining of the digestive and respiratory
systems, endocrine glands (16.3)
□ I can describe the influence of environmental factors on embryonic and
fetal development of body structures or systems (16.3)
□ I can describe the physiological or mechanical basis of different
reproductive technology methods ie: conception control, in vitro
fertilization, infertility reversal (16.3)
