Female Repro 2 Flashcards
oocyte captured by fimbria, move oocyte to uterus; site of spermatization
oviduct
(oviduct) ciliated simple columnar ep.
mucosa
(oviduct) layers of smooth muscle
muscularis
(oviduct) loose CT –> simple squamous ep.
serosa
Uterine Wall = inner(muscosal)
simple columnar ep
loose CT
endometrium
Uterine wall = middle (muscular)
myometrium
Uterine Wall = outer, CT
adventitia
Uterine Cycle = decrease progesterone, degeneration of helical arteries
bye bye functional layer
menses
Uterine Cycle = increase estrogen, helical arteries are back, functional layers are back
proliferative
Uterine Cycle = increase progesterone
secretory
during pregnancy, what causes contractions
oxytocin
during pregnancy, myometrium…
increase smooth muscle size and cell # b/c increase in estrogen
inner = simple columnar ep. outer = stratified squamous ep.
cervix
increase in progesterone in cervix…
make plug
Vagina - stratified sqaumous ep.
mucosa
