Fertilization
• Fertilisation occurs in the oviducts (fallopian tubes)
• pH of vagina is acidic and pH of semen is basic. Thus they neutralize each other.

Fertilization
• Contraction of the uterus and oviducts help move the sperm into the oviducts.
• One or more sperm will reach the oocyte in the oviduct.
![Page 5: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Fertilisation
• The oocyte is surrounded by a coat that consists of a glycoprotein called a zona pellucida .
• The zona pellucida must be crossed by the sperm.
![Page 6: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Fertilisation
• Contact between the zona pellucida and proteins in the sperm cells membrane trigger a the acrosome reaction.

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Fertilisation
• The acrosome vesicle fuses with the sperm plasma membrane and releases enzymes that digest a path through the zona pellucida.
![Page 8: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Fertilisation• Hydrolytic enzyme that are located in the sperm’s
head, called acrosomes.
• These acrosomes enzymes digest a pathway for the sperm to enter the oocyte.
• This process is called capacitation.

Fertilisation
• The membrane of the sperm cell and the ovum fuse together.
• At the same time this results in a release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum.
![Page 10: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Fertilisation
• The cortical vesicle fuse with the plasma membrane of egg cell releasing enzymes that destroy the sperm binding proteins on the zona pellucida.
• This prevents polyspermy. (more than one sperm from entering

![Page 19: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Early development of Zygote
• Zygote is transplant to the uterus by ciliary (small moving hair-like proteins) action in the oviduct
• The fertilized egg undergoes cleavage.
• Cleavage is the mitotic division of the zygote into a mass of daughter cells.
![Page 20: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Early development of Zygote
• When the embryo reaches the uterus is has undergone both cleavage and has formed a blastocysts.
• A blastocyst is a tiny solid ball of cells.

• During its first 2 to 4 weeks, the embryo obtains nutrients directly from the endometrium
• Meanwhile, the outer layer of the blastocyst mingles with the endometrium and eventually forms the placenta
• Blood from the embryo travels to the placenta through arteries of the umbilical cord and returns via the umbilical vein

The Placenta
• A disc shaped structure composed of maternal endometrial and fetal membrane.
• Exchange in the placenta – is by diffusion and active transport, and involve:
– Respiratory gases – Oxygen and carbon dioxide
– Water
– Excretory products (urea)
– Antibodies ( immunity from diseases)

Fetal Haemoglobin
• This means that the fetal haemoglobin will combine more readily oxygen than the mother’s haemoglobin at the same partial pressure.

Fetal Haemoglobin
• Why is this the case?
– If the mother’s haemoglobin had a stronger affinity for oxygen than the fetus’s haemoglobin, then the oxygen would pass from the fetus to the mother.

The placenta as an endocrine gland
• The placenta secretes the hormone, human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG)
• HCG appears in the urine 3 days after conception.

The placenta as an endocrine gland
• HCG is first secreted by the blastocyst cell of the embryo.
• HCG maintains the Corpus luteum ( a temporary gland) that secretes oestrogen and progesterone.

HCG HORMONE & Pregnancy
• The HCG targets the ovary and the corpus luteum.
• The corpus luteum secretes progesterone and oestrogen at high levels .

HCG HORMONE & Pregnancy
• The oestrogen and progesterone continue to inhibit FSH and LH secretion from the pituitary.
• The progesterone's prevent the breakdown of the endometrium and so the embryo can continue its development into a foetus

IB Learning Objective
• Outline the process of birth and its hormonal control, including the changes in progesterone and oxytocin levels and positive feedback
![Page 61: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

Hormone control & the process of giving Birth
• Before birth, the level of progesterone declines sharply
• This decline causes contraction of the muscles of the uterine lining.
![Page 62: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

Hormone control & the process of giving Birth
• At the same time, the pituitary gland releases the hormone oxytocin.
– This hormone relaxes the elastic fibers of the bones to the pelvic girdle, and dilates the cervix.
– Uterine contractions separate the placenta from the endometrium,
![Page 63: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Positive Feedback between oxytocin & Uterine contraction
• In this system the stimuli to the brain increases the oxytocin production
• In turn the oxytocin stimulate uterine contraction
• Uterine contractions further stimulates the pituitary of the mother to release more oxytocin
![Page 64: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Positive Feedback between oxytocin & Uterine contraction
• The strength and frequency of the uterine contractions is further increased.
• In turn this further stimulates more oxytocin production
• The process builds with stronger and stronger contractions
![Page 65: IB Fertilization & Pregnancy. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings IB Assessment Statement Describe the process of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649e745503460f94b74119/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Positive Feedback between oxytocin & Uterine contraction
• Finally the child passes though the cervix and vagina to be born
• Contractions continue for a further period until the placenta is delivered (after birth).
