When does meiosis 1 complete?
Ovulation (Chosen oocyte)
1st stage ovarian follicle
Primordial follicle->primary
Theca cells develope
granulosa cells secrete fluids
2nd stage ovarian follicle
70-85 days
Antrum (proteins, FSH, steroids hormones)
Graffian follicle
3rd stage ovarian follicle
5-7 days after menses
Corpus luteum composition
Granulosa cells, (some theca cells), capillaries
Enzyme that converts T-L17b-estradiol
Aromatase
Theca cells hormone
Progesterone and adrosrenedione
Granulosa cells hormone
17bHSD (adrostenedione->T)
Aromatase (T-> 17b-estradiol)
LH job in theca cells
Cholesterol desmolase increases
FSH job in granulosa cells
Aromatase activity increases
What hormone initiates ovulation?
LH
