|
|
immature teratoma
|
primative neuroepithelial cells or developing skeletal muscle cells are seen
(mature contains hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands) |
|
|
zona pellucida
|
surrounds the ovum
stains bright pink with PAS acellular, contains glycoproteins and polysaccharides *binding of sperm triggers acrosome reaction ->digests zona pellucida and allows spermatazoan to contact and fuse w/ovum cell membrane |

|
placental alkaline phosphatase
