Introduction

By fertilization we mean the union of egg and sperm. It most often occurs in the area of the ampulla tubae uterinae at the time of ovulation (days 12 - 16 of the cycle). The egg is capable of fertilization only 10-12 hours after ovulation (release from the follicle).

Sperm can last in the female reporductive system for several days, thereby increasing the probability of fertilization. They move through the female reproductive system with the help of flagellum, but they are significantly helped by the muscle contractions from the surroundings.

Basic reaction necessary for fertilization

Sperm anatomy

Capacitation

A change in the properties of the sperm cell membrane, allowing sperm to bind to the zona pellucida. It is the result of the removal of the remains of seminal plasma during passage through the female genital tract.

Acrosomal reaction

Fusion of outer and inner acrosomal membrane and spillage of acrosomal enzymes. It is the result of the interaction between sperm and cumulus oophorus, or zona pellucida.

Zone reaction

It takes place after the penetration of the sperm into the oocyte. Enzymes from cortical granules alter the properties of the zona pellucida.

Fertilizations phases

1st phase - penetration of the corona radiata

Of the 200–300 milion sperm in the vagina, only 300 to 500 reach the egg. Only a single sperm fertilizes the egg, the others help break down the egg's protection. Only those sperm that have undergone capacitation are able to overcome the corona radiata.

2nd phase - penetration of the zona pellucida

The zona pellucida is glycoprotein covering of the egg. It allows the sperm to attach and indicates the start of the acrosomal reaction.The enzyme acrosin will allow the sperm to pass through the zona As soon as the sperm touches the oocyte, the zona reaction begins.

Zona reaction

After the contact of the sperm and the oocyte, the contents of the so-called cortical granules are poured into the space between the zona and the membrane of the oocyte. The enzymes contained in them change the physical properties of the zona pellucida. They inactivate specific receptors for spematozoa on the surface of the zona pellucida. This ensures that only one sperm penetrates the egg, other sperm remain inactive in the zona pellucida or do not penetrate the zona at all (block against polyspermy)

3rd phase - fusion of oocyte and sperm

A sperm cell fertilizing an egg cell

First, membrane integrins begin to interact and adhesion of both cells occurs. Then the two membranes fuse. At this stage, the sperm attaches "sideways" to the oocyte, because after the capacitation it lacks the membrane above the acrosome, which is needed for adhesion. In the next phase, the head and flagellum of the sperm insert into the oocyte, but the sperm membrane remains outside.

The oocyte responds to these reactions with the zonal reaction (protection against polyspermy), the resumption of the second meiotic division (it completes it as soon as the sperm enters and forms the female pronucleus) and the metabolic activation of the egg (the activating factor arrives with the sperm). Mitochondria, which the sperm will bring to the egg during fertilization, are actively eliminated.

Meanwhile, the spermatozoon approaches the female pronucleus, its nucleus enlarges and forms the male pronucleus. The sperm flagellum degenerates. During pronuclei growth, their DNA is replicated and they organize as in mitosis.

Výsledky fertilizace

Obnovení diploidního počtu chromozomů.

Zygota obsahuje půlku chromozomů od otce a půl od matky, její chromozomová kombinace je odlišná od obou rodičů.

Určení pohlaví nového jedince.

V závislosti na tom, jestli spermie nese chromozom Y nebo X.

Iniciace rýhování.

Bez fertilizace by oocyt degeneroval do 24 hodin po ovulaci.

Splynutím jádra vajíčka a jádra spermie vzniká zygota. Zygota se rýhováním dělí na mnohobuněčný útvar (morulu), dalším dělením vzniká blastula, která putuje vejcovodem do dutiny děložní. Sliznice dělohy je v sekreční fázi připravena k jejímu uhnízdění = nidace - k té dochází cca 5.–7. den po oplození Zárodek se vyvíjí ze zárodečného terčíku; placenta a plodové obaly z povrchových buněk

-Nejdříve spolu začnou interagovat ''membránové integriny'' a dojde k '''adhezi''' obou buněk. Poté obě membrány ''splynou''. V této fázi se spermie přikládá „bokem“ k oocytu, protože po kapacitaci jí chybí nad akrozomem membrána, která je k adhezi potřebná. V další fázi se hlava i bičík spermie vsune do [[oocyt]]u, ale membrána spermie zůstane vně.
