Chapter 2 gametogenesis Flashcards
primitive sex cords
supporting cells plus the germ cells
genital ridges
areas where the gonads are going to form
What are the supporting cells of the female ?
follicular cells
what are the supporting cells of the male?
sertoli cells
In male gametogenesis, primordial germ cells lay dormant until when ?
puberty
What hormone and cells places an important role in male gametogenesis
LH and leydig cells
When does spermatogenesis stop ?
when the person dies
What hormone do the leydig cells secrete?
testosterone
what starts the process of spermatogensis?
secretion of testosterone by the leydig cells
spermiogenesis
conversion of spermatids into mature sperm
What four steps occur in spermiogenesis?
lose the cytoplasm, condense nucleus, neck+ tail added and acrosome added
maturation of the sperm occurs where ?
vagina of the female
at week 12 what major step happens in female gametogenesis
population of oogonia after their first meiotic prophase become dormant until puberty!
ovarian follicle
capsule and the follicle
What do the follicular cells secrete that prevent further progression of the cell cycle in female gametogenesis ?
OMI-oocyte aturation inhibitor helps arrest the process and puts the break in meiosis
What are the two stages of the ovarian cycle ?
follicular stage and the luteal phase
in 5-12 primordial follicles what happenes as a result of FSH and LH ?
the follicular cells begen to thicken to cuboidla cells and it becomes a primary follicle
zona pellucida
a glycoprotein coat sereted by the follicular cells and the oocyte together
graafian follicle
the structure that is formed that has an antrum (take up of fluid and space) when the main follicle continues to develop
what hormone secretes HcG
SYNCYTIOTROPHOBLAST
what hormone does the corpus luteum secrete
progesterone until the placenta takes over
malformations
occur during organogenesis in the embryonic period and result in abnormal structure
disruptions
result from external influence that causes alterations of completely formed structures
