This book introduces readers to the fascinating interaction of
specialized gamete cells, forming the early embryo and a blueprint
of new life. Readers will gain a thorough understanding of the
complex physiological events and mechanical processes - such as
ionic regulation, metabolism and intracellular signalling - to
decipher cause and effect in fertilization. Wide-ranging in its
approach, this book describes fertilization as a highly conserved
mechanism throughout the animal kingdom, taking case studies from
echinoderms, ascidians, amphibians and mammals through to other
phyla. An excellent companion to undergraduate and postgraduate
students of medicine, veterinary and biological sciences, this text
provides an underpinning of the mechanisms of fertilization that
inform assisted reproduction practice and research in medicine and
agriculture. It explores the detailed phases before fertilization:
the oocyte as a quiescent cell, attracting its partner gamete,
followed by a cascade of pre-determined physiological events, to
form the dynamic zygote cell; setting the scene for the early
embryo, and beyond.
