Lecture 1 - Why Embryology? gametes to form of complement of DNA (sperm and egg) 4. Mitochondria proliferation at mid-piece (ATP
Periods of Development: Pairing (at a chiasma) and recombination of homologous energy for tail)

organ system development chromosomes); 2 ends with 23 single chromosomes in
Fetal Period - 9-38 weeks; Maturation of organ systems each cell (separated sister chromatids)
Periods of Susceptibility:
Introduction of harmful factors may prevent proper
development; severity depends on when they were
introduced (ex. virus, trauma, toxins, genetics):
->Early Development Period = embryonic death
->Embryonic Period = birth defects; Time of significant
development; Embryo can usually survive this, but can
have consequences for proper development; Cells are still
plastic, but environment may cause reprogramming
->Fetal Period = environment less likely to have a severe
impact; Developmental issues are more likely due to Lecture 3 - Male Anatomy and Gametogenesis

Proliferate (mitosis) to eventually make gametes = sperm -Allow sperm to travel through urethra (since Fertilization occurs in the ampulla of uterine tube (sperm

epithelium to become gonads = testes or ovaries to fertilize an oocyte in the female tract (which -If no fertilization, oocyte still travels to uterus, but no
When they first arrive, PGC are considered "Indifferent is also very acidic) implantation and oocyte will degrade/pass from the body

cells in the urogenital area (in gonadal ridge) Spermatogenesis: occurs within the seminiferous tubules through endometrium
PGCs lose motility once they reach the ridge, continue to Spermatogonia undergo mitosis, differentiation into Endometrium - tissue that will interact with embryo and

Primary oocyte -> secondary oocyte + first polar body follicle to recruit and mature an oogonia into an oocyte Spermatozoa: Can survive in the female reproductive tract

Secondary oocyte (if dominant follicle) begins meiosis II Follicular cells (ex. granulosum) produce estrogen Abnormal Gametes:
before being ovulated, does NOT complete until Increasing estrogen levels trigger an LH surge Oocytes: Can have an ovarian follicle containing 2-3
