Fertilization: It’s all in the timing!
• Oocyte is only viable for ~ 24 hours.• Sperm is viable for 12 – 24 hours (some
“super sperm” may be viable for up to 72 so be careful!)
• Therefore, usually, coitus must occur within a 24 hour window on either side of ovulation.

Barriers to fertilization• Low vaginal pH• Getting lost (50/50 chance of getting the
right uterine tube)• Numerous defective sperm• Uterine contractions• Phagocytes• By the time they get to the oocyte, there
are only a few dozen to a couple hundred

Capacitation
• Must occur before spermatozoa can fertilize secondary oocyte:– contact with secretions of seminal vesicles– exposure to conditions in female reproductive
tract

Cleavage and Blastocyst FormationFigure 29–2
![Page 11: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What’s this thing called, Love?• Zygote – a the single cell after fusion of
the pronuclei of the oocyte & the sperm.• Conceptus – covers the period of develop
following first cleavage and differentiation of cells into an embryo.– Morula – the conceptus as a solid ball of 16
cells (about day 3).– Blastocyst – a hollow ball of cells, from day 4.
“Hatching” occurs at this stage, when the blastocyst emerges from the zona pellucida.
![Page 12: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Development from zygote to implantation.
![Page 13: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Then what ?• The blastocyst differentiates into:
– the trophoblast, the outer ball of cells that eventually becomes the placenta and “extraembryonic” membranes.
– the inner cell mass (ICM) becomes the embryo.
• The above occurs over the course of the second week following conception.
• Implantation – occurs on about day 6 or so, as the blastocyst burrows into the endometrium.

Decidua:Decidua Capsularis • Thin portion of endometrium• No longer participates in nutrient exchange and
chorionic villi in region disappear
Decidua Basalis• Disc-shaped area in deepest portion of
endometrium• Where placental functions concentrated
Decidua Parietalis• Rest of the uterine endometrium• No contact with chorion
![Page 28: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Hormones of Placenta
• Synthesized by syncytial trophoblast, released into maternal bloodstream:– human chorionic gonadotropin– human placental lactogen– placental prolactin– relaxin– progesterone– estrogens
![Page 29: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Human Placental Lactogen (hPL)
• Helps prepare mammary glands for milk production
• Stimulatory effect on other tissues comparable to growth hormone (GH)
Placental Prolactin• Helps convert mammary glands to active status
![Page 30: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Relaxin• Is a peptide hormone• Is secreted by placenta and corpus luteum
during pregnancy• Increases flexibility of pubic symphysis,
permitting pelvis to expand during deliveryCauses dilation of cervix
• Suppresses release of oxytocin by hypothalamus and delays labor contractions

Embryogenesis
• Body of embryo begins to separate from embryonic disc
• Body of embryo and internal organs start to form
• Folding, differential growth of embryonic disc produce bulge that projects into amniotic cavity:– projections are head fold and tail fold

Second Trimester
• Fetus grows faster than surrounding placenta
![Page 41: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Third Trimester
• Most of the organ systems become ready• Growth rate starts to slow• Largest weight gain• Fetus and enlarged uterus displace many
of mother’s abdominal organs

Progesterone
• Released by placenta • Has inhibitory effect on uterine smooth
muscle• Prevents extensive, powerful contractions
![Page 45: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Opposition to Progesterone
• 3 major factors:– rising estrogen levels– rising oxytocin levels– prostaglandin production

False Labor
• Occasional spasms in uterine musculature• Contractions not regular or persistent
True Labor• Results from biochemical and mechanical factors• Continues due to positive feedback
![Page 48: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Contractions
• Begin near top of uterus, sweep in wave toward cervix
• Strong, occur at regular intervals, increase in force and frequency
• Change position of fetus, move it toward cervical canal
![Page 51: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Stages of Labor

Dilation Stage
• Begins with onset of true labor• Cervix dilates • Fetus begins to shift toward cervical canal• Highly variable in length:
– typically lasts over 8 hours
![Page 53: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Dilation Stage
• Frequency of contractions steadily increase
• Amniochorionic membrane ruptures (water breaks)
![Page 54: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Expulsion Stage
• Begins as cervix completes dilation• Contractions reach maximum intensity• Continues until fetus has emerged from
vagina:– typically less than 2 hours
![Page 56: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Delivery
• Arrival of newborn infant into outside world
Episiotomy• Incision through perineal musculature• Needed if vaginal canal is too small to pass fetus• Repaired with sutures after delivery
![Page 58: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Cesarean Section
• Removal of infant by incision made through abdominal wall
• Opens uterus just enough to pass infant’s head
• Needed if complications arise during dilation or expulsion stages
![Page 61: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Placental Stage
• Muscle tension builds in walls of partially empty uterus
• Tears connections between endometrium and placenta
• Ends within hour of delivery with ejection of placenta, or afterbirth
• Accompanied by a loss of blood
![Page 62: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

Premature Labor
• Occurs when true labor begins before fetus has completed normal development
• Newborn’s chances of surviving are directly related to body weight at delivery
![Page 64: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Immature Delivery
• Refers to fetuses born at 25–27 weeks of gestation
• Most die despite intensive neonatal care• Survivors have high risk of developmental
abnormalities
![Page 65: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Premature Delivery
• Refers to birth at 28–36 weeks• Newborns have a good chance of
surviving and developing normally
![Page 66: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Forceps Delivery
• Needed when fetus faces mother’s pubis instead of sacrum
• Risks to infant and mother are reduced using forceps:– forceps resemble large, curved salad tongs– used to grasp head of fetus
![Page 67: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Breech Birth• Legs or buttocks of fetus enter vaginal
canal first instead of head• Umbilical cord can become constricted,
cutting off placental blood flow• Cervix may not dilate enough to pass head• Prolongs delivery• Subjects fetus to severe distress and
potential injury
![Page 68: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
5 Life Stages
1. Neonatal period - Extends from birth to 1 month
2. Infancy - 1 month to 2 years of age3. Childhood - 2 years until adolescence4. Adolescence - Period of sexual and
physical maturation5. Maturity
![Page 69: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Colostrum
• Secretion from mammary glands• Ingested by infant during first 2–3 days• Contains more proteins and less fat than
breast milk:– many proteins are antibodies that help ward
off infections until immune system is functional
![Page 70: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Colostrum
• Mucins present inhibit replication of rotaviruses
• As production drops, mammary glands convert to milk production
![Page 71: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Breast Milk
• Consists of:– water– proteins– amino acids– lipids– sugars– salts– large quantities of lysozymes—enzymes with
antibiotic properties
![Page 72: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Milk Let-Down Reflex
• Mammary gland secretion triggered when infant sucks on nipple
• Continues to function until weaning, typically 1–2 years
![Page 73: Pregnancy & Human Development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051419/56815c1c550346895dc9f14f/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
