only 400,000 oocytes at
puberty
primary oocytes + follicular cells
primordial ovarian follicles
ovarian cycle average
28 days
beginning of cycle
primary ovarian follicles will develop into primary ovarian follicles
follicular cells divide repeatedly and become
granulosa cells
few primary follicles develop into
secondary ovarian follicles
only a single secondary follicle develops into
tertiary follicle
when tertiary follicle ruptures releases oocyte into peritoneal cavity
ovulation
ruptured follicle path
corpus luteum to the corpus albicians
corpus luteum produces
progestorone
corpus luteum progesterone makes sure
uterine wall stays in tact
corpus luteum degrades into
corpus albicians
uterine tube proximal end funnel
infundibulum
fertilization occurs within the
ampulla
oocyte moves through the
isthmus
uterus job
receive

uterus supplied by
ovarian arteries and uterine arteries
cervix opens up to the
vagina
wall of uterus (outside to inside)
perimetrium
myometrium
endometrium
uterine wall thickest layer
myometrium
endometirum layers
basal layer: straight arteries
