Question:

Fertilization went wrong

Response:

In the figure you see an oocyte containing three polar bodies. What went wrong and what will be the most probable consequence? Choose the two correct options:

AnswersYour AnswerCorrect
Oocyte is fertilized by two sperm cells.
It will die because of a complete trisomy.
The polar bodies remain in the same size as the oocyte itself.
Triplet will develop – one from each “body”.
One blastomere has undergone apoptosis.
There is an asymmetric mitotic division of the zygote.
Twins will develop and one “body” will die

Question:

Early development

Response:

The first 4 stages in the figure above hardly show differences in size size. Between stages D and E, there is a very small size increase. Explain the reason of this very small increase in size between stages D and E and why that is required.

AnswersYour AnswerCorrect
Blastomeres increase in size, otherwise they will decrease to a level below the minimally required size (critical size).
Water is pumped into the blastocyst cavity to increase pressure to prepare hatching of the blastocyst.
The trophoblast layer is thickened to resist the higher pressure in the last parts of the Fallopian tube.
Extracellular matrix will be incorporated among the outer morula cells to stabilize the tight junctions.
Fluid accumulates in the blastocyst cavity to nourish the trophoblast cells.

Question:

ectopic pregnancy

Response:

Question : What would be the most likely reasons that a blastocyst is present in the fallopian tube and resulted in an extra-uterine tubal pregnancy? Choose 3 correct options.

AnswersYour AnswerCorrect
Embryo migrated too slow
The embryo did not grow during the first 4 days
Embryo already hatched in the Fallopian tube
The first 8 blastomeres have already grown too much
Embryo migrated too fast
Embryo developed too fast

Question:

Risc of ectopic pregnancy

Response:

It has been demonstrated that some factors increase the risk of an ectopic pregnancy (EP) in women: • Pelvic inflammatory disease: Previous infection of the pelvic region e.g. caused by chlamydia, can sometimes damage the Fallopian tubes. Chlamydia is responsible for 30-50% of all ectopic pregnancies. • Prior pelvic or abdominal surgery: An embryo can implant in the scar tissue of the uterus lining, that was caused by a previous surgery • History of pelvic infections: Infection and inflammation can damage the lining of the tube and cause scarring that can prevent the embryo from passing to the uterus • Infertility: Women with infertility have a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy, possibly because tubal abnormalities are also a common cause of infertility. However, an ectopic tubal pregnancy only occurs when the pregnancy results from a natural menstrual cycle and not from an in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. Why do you think an ectopic tubal pregnancy only occurs in a natural cycle? 

AnswersYour AnswerCorrect
Only in a natural cycle the embryo migrate along the fallopian tube.
More than one embryo often is transferred in an IVF cycle
The embryo only develops adequately in a natural cycle.
The oocyte does not develop until a Graffian follicle in an IVF cycle.

Question:

embryonic/fetal nourishment

Response:

Drag the words into the correct boxes
During the first weeks, glandular secretion reaches the embryo via diffusion. Afterwards nourishment is provided by diffusion from the blood plasma via the wall of the placental villi. In the later stages the embryo is nourished by diffusion from the whole blood via the wall of the mature placental villi.
