Female Histo Flashcards
covering of ovary
germinal epithelium
tunica alibuiinia (fibrous capsule)
stem cells of the ovary
oocyte and follicles
primary follicle morphology
unilaminar primary follicle lined with cuboidal cells
morph to larger, bilaminar follicle with compressed interstitial cells
formation of acellular zona pelucida
secondary follicle morphology
antrums coalesce, oocyte pushed aside
follicular cells now granulosa cells of membrane of granulosa
necessary for secondary follicle development
FSH
Mature follicle morphology
Corona radiata coronal cells surround oocyte
cumulus oophorus follicle cells surround this
Theca interna
basement avasvular layer
Granulosa cells
Theca externa
temporary steroid secreting endocrine gland that forms in second half of cycle
corpus luteum
Lutein cells (granulosa and Theca) secrete
estrogen and progesterone
white scar of atrophied corpus luteum
corpus albicans
ampulla morphology
isthmus
ampulla - highly folded mucosa
isthmus - less folded, thicker muscularis layer, mesoaplinx surrounding tube
uterine lining is a ___ wall
fibrous
Transitional zone of uterus
junction between inner columnar to outer sqaumous non-keratinized epithelia
region for pap smear
zones of endometrium
outer 2/3 = functional zone
inner third = Basal zone
vaginal morphology
thick epithelium covering mucosa
stratified squamous, non-cornified
fibrous wall with man vessels
elastic tissues
secreted by the granulosa cells of dominant follicle, inhibits ____
