Q

how does the follicle develop

A
  1. composed of an oocyte surrounded by specialized epithelial cells called granulosa and/or cumulus
  2. during follicular development the epithelial cells become surrounded by specialized stroma cells (theca) and a fluid filled cavity develops among the epithelial cells
  3. these cell layers are separated by a basement membrane

Q

what is an antral follicle

A

the granulosa cells form a thickened mound (cumulus oophorus) which projects into the antrum. the oocyte is often not visible in antral follicle sections

Q

how is the early corpus luteum characterized histologically

A
  • at ovulation the follicular wall composed of the granulosa and thecal cells collapses
  • basement membrane breaks down, tissue is remodelled, vessels increase and is transformed into the corpus luteum

Q

what cell types in the CL produce progesterone and what are the origins of these cells

A

Large luteal cells

Q

how do you tell which region of the oviduct you are viewing

A
  • The proximal part is called the infundibulum, which is flared and ‘fringed’ (fimbriated).
  • This leads into a longer, thin walled ampulla, which has primary, secondary and tertiary longitudinal mucosal folds.
  • This leads into a short thicker-walled isthmus, which has fewer longitudinal mucosal folds.

Q

the mucosa of the ovarian tube is identified by which characteristics

A
  • the mucosa projects into the lumen as longitudinal folds; blood vessels supply the tubes via the mesosalpinx
  • the mucosa is lined by simple of pseudostratified columnar epithelium with ciliated and non ciliated secretory cells
