Q

▪ What is in the endometrium that makes it very

22
Q

▪ The innermost layer which contains the capillaries or
blood vessels and the glands
▪ The layer that responds to the changes in the level of
hormones in the menstrual cycle

A

Endometrium

23
Q

▪ The thickest and the middle layer
▪ From the name, it can already suggest that its
composition is basically muscle, particularly smooth
muscles

A

→ Myometrium

24
Q

The outermost covering of the uterus

A

Perimetrium

25
Q

During menstruation the lining of the endometrium of a woman is thin, as for the progesterone and estrogen, it is very

A

low

26
Q

The low levels of estrogen and progesterone will be detected by
the _________ and it will respond to this by
producing gonadotropin-releasing hormone

A

hypothalamus

27
Q

This gonadotropin releasing hormone will then be
transported towards the _______ wherein it will
produce FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) and LH
(Luteinizing Hormone); FSH is produced in _______ amount than LH

A

anterior pituitary; higher

28
Q

FSH: adenohypophysis to ovaries
Every month one ______ is then selected to mature

A

follicle

29
Q

All the follicles found in the ovary, the follicle with the
_______ receptor to FSH is the one selected to mature on that
particular menstrual cycle.

A

highest

30
Q

follicle has increased in size and then
this follicle will respond to the action of FSH by producing
________

A

estrogen

31
Q

estrogen released
from the developing follicle will then act on the _________
and wherein the estrogen will cause the cells in the
endometrium to proliferate. this is called ______ phase

A

endometrium; proliferative

32
Q

That peak level of estrogen will be sensed by the ______ pituitary gland

A

anterior

33
Q

peak of estrogen that is sensed by the anterior pituitary gland will shift from producing too much FSH to producing now
higher amounts of __

A

LH

34
Q

sudden increase in the LH level in the blood, this
phenomenon is called the _____ ________.

A

LH Surge

35
Q

What is now the consequence of having that
increased level of LH in the blood of the woman?

A

The luteinizing hormone will then act on the follicle causing it to
burst and release the egg cell.

36
Q

The remnant of the follicle will actually become the _________

A

corpus
luteum

37
Q

The luteinizing hormone will then act on this corpus luteum and
corpus luteum will respond to it by producing __________ will also act on the endometrium.

A

progesterone

38
Q

e the
glands have already started secreting materials in
preparation for the implantation of the embryo is called

A

secretory phase

39
Q

corpus luteum pointed by the red arrow will
eventually produce high amounts of progesterone, and this one
will be detected by the

A

hypothalamus and anterior pituitary

40
Q

hypothalamus and anterior pituitary
and they will respond to the increased levels of progesterone by
decreasing the synthesis of _______________________ in
the hypothalamus and FSH and LH in the anterior pituitary.

A

gonadotropin-releasing hormone

41
Q

when the LH release decreases the corpus luteum will eventually become corpus albicans the time. Why?

A

Corpus luteum is reliant to the LH hormone

42
Q

as the corpus luteum become the corpus albican, menstruation will start. why?

A

the corpus luteum releases the progesterone, if it will become corpus albican, there will be no release of progesteron, the endometrium will no longer thicken,

43
Q

● If there is fertilization and there would be loss of LH and
degeneration of the corpus luteum, what will now maintain
the endometrium in the secretory phase so that the
fertilized ovum can still implant into it?

A

developing embryo will actually produce a
substitute for luteinizing hormone called human chorionic
gonadotropin hCG

44
Q

hCG will maintain the __________ phase by tricking the corpus luteum while the embryo will have an area to implant itself

A

secretory

45
Q

OVARIES bodies lined by

A

germinal epithelium/
simple cuboidal epithelium

46
Q

OVARIES found on both sides of the ________ genitalia of women

A

internal

47
Q

below the germinal epithelium is the

A

tunica albuginea

48
Q

tunica albuginea is composed of _______ _________ connective tissue

A

dense irregular

49
Q

Two regions of the ovaries

A

outer cortex and the inner medulla

50
Q

area in the ovary: it has
the presence of the ovarian follicles

A

outer cortex

51
Q

area in the ovary: the medulla
contains loose connective tissue and numerous blood
vessels.

A

medulla

52
Q

Ovarian Follicles Composed of:

A

→ (1) oocyte or egg cells
→ (2) follicular cells
→ (3) stromal cells
