Q

Why don’t males need a surge center

A

once at a certain age they are constantly producing sperm cells as opposed to females who have a limited number of oocytes and need the surge to ovulate.

Q

How does the surge center regress in males

A

It starts as indifferent
Then the testorone circulates and due to it being a small steroid it passes through the blood brain barrier
Then in the brain aromatase converts the testorone to estrogen
The high concentration of estrogen in the brain does not allow for growth of the surge center

Q

Why doesn’t estrogen knock out the surge center in females

A

The females have alphafetal protein which binds to the estrogen in the body and because of the large protein size it can not go through the blood brain barrier

Q

How/Why does freemartinism occur in cattle

A

-The bull calf becomes a bull first, and the cows share placental blood until day 84. The reduced concentrations of AMH and androgens in the heifer calf from the blood of the bull calf causes the change in developing tract and start of sexual differentiation

Q

Why do female hyenas have these charecteristics

A

A lot of androgen production by the dam when pregnant and because of that there is natural virilization of the females in utero and changes how external genetalia forms

106
Q

What is follicular development stimulated and regulated by

A

-gonadotropins
-growth factors
-activin or inhibin (regulate FSH)

107
Q

Follicular growth

A

-many are recruited to go from secondary stage to tertiary stage
-after that few are selected to grow
-one id selected (dominant)

108
Q

First wave of follicular growth

A

-inovulatory
-progesterone is high
-the dominant follicle dies off and undergoes atresia

109
Q

Second wave of follicular growth

A

-non-ovulatory
-during diestrus
-follicle becomes dominant but then undergoes atresia
-happens right before luteolysis

110
Q

Ovulatory Wave of follicular growth

A

-since corpus leutem has died follicle is able to produce more and more estrogen
- this allows the dominant follicle to grow and then ovulate

111
Q

FSH Follicle growth

A

-granulosa cell mitosis
-increases lh receptors
-steroidogenesis
-effects prenatal and antral follicles

112
Q

LH Follicle growth

A

-only impacts astral follicles
-surge starts ovulation
-resumption of meiosis-oocyte

113
Q

What inhibits follicle growth

A

presence of a dominant follicle
-inadequate production of gonadotropins
-steroids
(estrogens and androgens)
-inhibin

114
Q

Inhibin

A

protein produced by follicles which inhibits other follicles from developing FSH release

115
Q

Recruitment stage

A

-entry into gonadotropin sensitive pool
-dependent on FSH

116
Q

Selection Stage

A

-more dependent on LH
-inhibin present to stop the FSH

you would give a lot of fish during a critical stage which would prevent the follicle from undergoing apoptosis

LH surge

120
Q

Ovulation specific cascade of events

A

-degredation fo follicle wall
-extrusion of oocyte
collapse of follicle

121
Q

Changes in oocyte

A

Gap junction breakdown between granules cells and oocyte
then
removal of meiotic inhibition
then
first polar body
then
haploid oocyte
then
fertilization

122
Q

Changes in follicle caused by pge2

A

-blood flow to every dominant follicle
then edema
then follicle pressure

123
Q

changes in follicle caused by pgf2a

A

-contraction of ovarian smooth muscle and release of lysomal enzymes
which then causes follicular pressure and the follicle wall to weaken

124
Q

changes in follicle caused by shift from E2 to P4 by dominant follicle

A

-raise in progesterone which then causes a release of collagenase then the follicle wall weakens

125
Q

Lutenization

A

-priocess that transforms the granulosa and theca cells into luteal cells (terminal deviation)

The period of sexually receptivity, known as estrus, can be easily observed during a primate’s estrous cycle.

d.
The cow and mare ovulate while in estrus whereas the sow and ewe ovulate during metaestrus.

Q

You have discovered a new species of anole on the island of Fantastica. Through observation of tissues of anoles that have died, you determined that this species has both male and female sexes with XY and XX chromosomes, respectively. You also observe that there is a 1:10 ratio of female to males on the island. What is the most likely explanation for this sex ratio?

Hot temperatures during egg incubation have affected the sex ratio

hypothalamus

Q

While looking at a graph that shows estrogen concentrations during a heifer estrous cycle, your roommate notices that although estrogen is basically low, there are 2 little bumps, one around Day 9 of the cycle and one around Day 15 of the cycle . She asked you what was causing these bumps? How did you respond?

A

They are from dominant follicles.
