name the ovarian hormones
estrogen
progesterone
what does progesterone prepare for
uterus for pregnancy
mammary glands for lactation
what is in the cortex of ovaries
follicles
what is in the medulla of ovaries
bvv
GERM CELL migration in ovary
from embryonic yolk sac into embryonic gonad
how many oocyte numbers
600,000 - 800,00 nat birth arrested at prophase i
when does primordial follicles develop
from 3rd moth of fetal deve
what is primordial follicles independent of
gonadotrophin stimulation
what does primordial follicles contain
oocyte
what is primary follicles formation of
zona pellucida
stromal cells surrounding primary follicle become
theca interna and theca externa
where do primary follicles cells move deeper into
ovary due to proliferation of granulosa cells
how many layers in late primary follicles
several layers granulosa cells
what is the layer called between granulosa cels and oocyte in late primary follicle
gap junctions
what is produced in theca interna
steorid producing
what is in secondary follicle
fluid filled cavitis among ganulosa cells
what is required for the development of secondary folliclre
fsh
what takes up most of the volume of mature graafian follicles
single fluid filled antrum
what is mature graafian follicles specilisatins of
granulosa cells
- cumulus oophorus
- corona radiata
what do remaining granulosa and theca cells undergo
lutenisation
what happens to the cells in corpus luteum
increase in size lipid acc.
what does corpus luteum secretes
etrogens
progestrogone
inhibin
what does theca lutein cells develop from
theca interna
what do theca lutein cells secrete
androgens and progesterone
if no fertilisation what happens to corpus leuteum
denegerates by about day 10
what is corpus albican
white scar in ovary
what do the degenrating cells in corpus albican cells leads to
intercellular hyaline material accumulation
when do atretic follicles occur
at any stage
what do majority of arteric follicles undergo
atresia

list the menstrual cycle changes in mammary gland phases
follicular phase
luteal phase
what happens in the follicular phase
intralobular stroma less dense
what happens in the luteal phase
epithelial cells increase in height
lumina appear in ducts - some secretions
what completes the morphological and functional maturation for corpus leuteum and placenta
estrogen and progesterone

gonadocorticoids
what happens to mammary glands during first trimester
terminal ductules
- elongation, branching
- proliferation and differentiation of epithelial and myoepitelial cells
what happens to the mammary dev, during second trimester
alveoli form from terminal ductules
- growth of alveoli
what happens during the third trimester for mammary gland development
- maturation of alveoli
- glandular epithelial cells
- breast size increase due to hypertrophy of secretory cells
- accumulation of secretory
