The mare who has an ovulation fossa.

51
Q

What is folliculogenesis?

A

The process where by immature follicles develop into more advanced follicles.

52
Q

What are the four types of follicles?

A

Primordial follicle, primary follicle, secondary follicle, antral follicle.

53
Q

What distinct characteristics do primordial follicles have?

A

The are microscopic, most immature (smallest), oocyte surrounded by a single layer of squamous epithelial cells.

54
Q

What is the major distinctive characteristic of a primary follicle.

A

Oocyte is surrounded by a single layer of cuboidal epithelium cells.

55
Q

What is the main difference between a secondary follicle and antral follicle?

A

A fluid filled cavity ie the atrium.

56
Q

What is the main difference between a primary follicle and secondary follicle?

A

Secondary follicles have two or more layers of cuboidal cells.

57
Q

What are the 3 layers of an antral follicle?

A

The a externa, theca interna and granulosal cell layer.

58
Q

What part of the antral follicle is composed of loose connective tissue that completely surrounds and supports the follicle?

A

Theca externa

59
Q

What part is the antral follicle is responsible for the production of androgens (testosterone) under the influence of LH( lutenizing hormone)

A

Thecta interna

60
Q

A

The pituitary gland.

61
Q

Define hormone.

A

A substance produced by one or more 1) glands that is 2) transported by the blood to 3) exert a specific effect upon another organ

62
Q

What does the granulosal cell layer of an antral follicle help with.

A

Helps oocyte mature.

63
Q

What do granulosal cells produce and have?
