Q

Primordial germ cells arise from the yolk sac and migrate to the genital ridge ______ after fertilization

A

24 days

17
Q

How many oogonia are present by the second month of development? 7 months?

A
  • 600,000
  • 7 million
18
Q

Oogonia become primary oocytes when?

A

When they enter prophase of first meiotic division

19
Q

Which class of follicles formed in mammalian ovaries consists of an oocyte surrounded by a single layer of flattened granulosa cells?

A

Primordial follicles

20
Q

Steps for oocyte to mature and be released

A

Primary follicle —> secondary follicle —> Graafian follicle —> ruptured follicle —> released oocyte

21
Q

What is this?

A

Primordial follicles

22
Q

What are some characteristics of the late primary follicle? (Epithelium, size)

A
  • follicular cells become stratified cuboidal epithelium
  • oocyte increases in size
  • zona pellucida developed
23
Q

What is the zona pellucida?

A

the thick transparent membrane surrounding a mammalian ovum before implantation (goes away once it turns into a blastocyte)

24
Q

What is liquor folliculi?

A

Liquid which fills the follicular antrum and surrounds the ovum

25
Q

The ____ is a space between granules cells that holds liquor folliculi and produces the pressure to ovulate

A

Antrum

26
Q

The ______ is the outer layer of cells of a Graafian follicle.

A

Theca folliculi

27
Q

Difference between theca interna and externa

A

theca interna produces androgens and the theca externa is a connective tissue layer derived from fibroblast-like cells that produce extracellular matrix factors, such as collagen.

28
Q

The ______ is the layer of follicular cells that gets shedded with the oocyte in ovulation.

A

Corona radiata (crown)

29
Q

The spermatocytes has to get through the _____ to get to the egg

A

Follicular cells

30
Q

________ is the reabsption/death of a follicle

A

Atresia (becomes antrum)

31
Q

Which are bigger: sperm or egg?

A

Egg

32
Q

When do the first and second meiotic division of the oocyte happen?

A

First: after oocyte is ovulated
Second: after fertilization

33
Q

Where are the polar bodies found?

A

Zona pellucida

34
Q

What happens after a sperm penetrates the ZP?

A

Cortical reaction is triggered to mot let other sperm in (hardening of ZP Ned inactivation of sperm receptors)
