Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front acrosomal reaction
    Back release of digestive enzymes by sperm that enables them to burrow through the corona radiata and penetrate the zona pellucida of an oocyte prior to fertilization
  • Front acrosome
    Back cap-like vesicle located at the anterior-most region of a sperm that is rich with lysosomal enzymes capable of digesting the protective layers surrounding the oocyte
  • Front afterbirth
    Back third stage of childbirth in which the placenta and associated fetal membranes are expelled
  • Front allantois
    Back finger-like outpocketing of yolk sac forms the primitive excretory duct of the embryo; precursor to the urinary bladder
  • Front amnion
    Back transparent membranous sac that encloses the developing fetus and fills with amniotic fluid

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 28 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
