B. Interaction Day 1
1. Fertilization of the Ovum
Fertilization
Fertilization is the union of the female gamete (egg) and the male gamete (spermatozoa).
Whether it occurs naturally inside the female reproductive system or with the assistance
of reproductive technologies outside of the human body, the product is a structure called
a zygote.
When a female is ovulating, she releases one egg into her Fallopian tubes (or more in the
case of fraternal twins). During this time, a female’s cervical mucus will thin, in
preparation for sperm to pass through more effectively.
Following spermatozoa ejaculation inside the vagina, special secretions help them to
swim through the cervix towards the uterine tube where fertilization takes place when
the sperm penetrates the egg within 24-72 hours.
The fertilized egg, or zygote, then begins to move toward the uterus. This cluster of cells
rapidly divides, forming an embryo within a complex structure known as the blastocyst.
Embryonic Development
Human embryonic development or human embryogenesis is the
development and formation of the human embryo. It is characterised by
the processes of cell division and cellular differentiation of the embryo
that occurs entails growth from a one-celled zygote to an adult human
being. Fertilization occurs when the sperm cell successfully enters
and fuses with an egg cell (ovum). The genetic material of the sperm
and egg then combine to form the single cell zygote and the ger during
the early stages of development. In biological terms, the development of
the human bodyminal stage of development commences. Embryonic
development in the human, covers the first eight weeks of development;
at the beginning of the ninth week the embryo is termed a fetus. The
eight weeks has 23 stages.
Day 2
2. Fetal Development
Germinal stage
- is the shortest stage of fetal development. It begins
at conception when a sperm and egg join in your fallopian tube. The
sperm fertilizes the egg and creates a zygote. The zygote begins its
journey down to your uterus over the course of about one week. During
this journey, the zygote divides many times, eventually creating two
separate structures. One structure eventually becomes the embryo (and
later, the fetus) and the other becomes the placenta. Cell division
continues at a rapid pace. Eventually, the zygote turns into a blastocyst.
The blastocyst arrives at your uterus and implants into your uterine
lining. If implantation is successful, your body immediately begins
producing hormones to support a pregnancy. This also stops
your menstrual period.
Embryonic stage
- lasts from about the third week of pregnancy until the eighth week of
pregnancy. The blastocyst begins to take on distinct human
characteristics. It’s now called an embryo. Structures and organs like
the neural tube (which later becomes the brain and spinal cord), head,
eyes, mouth and limbs form. The embryo’s heart begins to develop and
pulse around the sixth week. Buds that will become arms and legs also
form around the sixth week. By the end of the eighth week, most of the
embryo’s organs and systems take shape. For a lot of people, this is the
point in pregnancy where morning sickness begins.
Fetal stage
- fetal stage of development begins around the ninth week and lasts
until birth. This is when the embryo officially turns into a fetus. The
fetus gets its assigned sex around nine weeks of pregnancy, although
your healthcare provider can’t detect it on ultrasound yet. The fetus’s
major organs and body systems continue to grow and mature. Things
like fingernails, eyelashes and hair also grow. The fetus is able to move
its limbs, although you may not feel it until 20 weeks of pregnancy. The
majority of growth — in both weight and length — happens in the fetal
stage.
Birth
is the act or process of bearing or bringing forth offspring, also referred
to in technical contexts as parturition. In mammals, the process is
initiated by hormones which cause the muscular walls of the uterus to
contract, expelling the fetus at a developmental stage when it is ready to
feed and breathe.
c. Genital herpes - is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause blisters and
open sores (lesions) in the genital area, but it can also be asymptomatic,
meaning a person does not show symptoms.
HSV-1 is mainly transmitted via contact with the virus in sores, saliva
or surfaces in or around the mouth. Less commonly, HSV-1 can be
transmitted to the genital area through oral-genital contact to cause
genital herpes.
C. Integration As student how are you going to educate female about the fetal development?
Fetal development is an orderly and intricate process. It begins before you even know
D. Closure/ you’re pregnant and ends with the birth of your baby.
Generalization Embryonic development or human embryogenesis is the development and formation of
the human embryo.
