The cleavage pattern of protostomes is
spiral
The cleavage pattern of deuterostomes is
radial
Protostomes have a ________ type of development, in which the fate of embryonic cells is determined very early.
determinate
The coelom and three germ layers are formed during
gastrulation.
In protostomes, the blastopore becomes the
mouth.
In deuterostomes, the blastopore forms the
anus.
The coelom in protostomes is formed by
solid masses of mesodermal cells splitting for form the coelom.
The coelom in deuterostomes is formed by
an outpocketing of the archenteron.
Where are spermatogenic cells located?
Seminiferous tubules
As spermatogenic cells become more mature, they are pushed towards the ______ of the seminiferous tubles.
lumen
Spermatid
Immature sperm that lacks a flagella. Found in the lumen of the seminiferous tubule.
The reproductive cycle of a female rat is called an
estrous cycle. Haploid ova are released during ovulation.
A mature follicle can be identified by the presence of
an antrum
The clear space inside the follicle (other than the antrum) is
the zona pellucida
Order and name of cells outside the zona pellucida
granulosa cells are immediately outside the zona pellucida, and theca cells are outside of that
Theca cells convert estrogen to testosterone and are analagous to
leydig cells
What hormones are secreted by the corpus luteum?
Estrogen and Progesterone
The outside of the sea urchin egg is covered by the
jelly coat. Prevents desiccation.
What does the fast block to polyspermy consist of?
Depolarization of the egg cell from a negative to positive membrane potential.
What is the slow block to polyspermy?
Fusion of cortical vesicles, release of vesicular contents into the perivitelline space. Enzymatic hardening of the vitelline membrane. Vitelline membrane becomes the fertilization membrane.
What color are the animal and vegetal poles?
Animal pole is darker

Vegetal pole is white and contains the yolk (heavier)
Cleavage in which the cleavage plane extends entirely through the zygote.
Holoblastic
Cleavage plane does not extend entirely through the zygote
Meroblastic
Stage characterized by the formation fo the blastocoel
Blastula
Stage identifiable by the yolk plug. Formation of three germ layers.
Gastrula
Notochord and neural tube are formed during this stage.
Neurula
The outermost membrane of a chicken egg, aside from the egg shell membrane is
the chorion
What color are the animal and vegetal poles?
Animal pole is darker

Vegetal pole is white and contains the yolk (heavier)
Cleavage in which the cleavage plane extends entirely through the zygote.
Holoblastic
Cleavage plane does not extend entirely through the zygote
Meroblastic
Stage characterized by the formation fo the blastocoel
Blastula
Stage identifiable by the yolk plug. Formation of three germ layers.
Gastrula
The egg white (distal from the embryo) is called
Albumen, encased by the egg shell memebrane
Which chicken egg membrane is responsible for storing nitrogenout wastes
the Allantois
The yolk sac in the chicken egg is _____ the chorion and attached to _________ of the embryo.
inside; the midgut
The chicken embryo is immediately surrounded by the
amniotic membrane
