Flattened supportive cells that surround the primary oocytes.
A. Myoid cells
B. Granulosa cells
C. Follicular cells
D. Cumulus oophorus
C. Follicular cells
Primary oocyte enveloped by a single layer of flattened follicular cells.
Primordial follicle
When follicular cells undergo mitosis and form a simple cuboidal epithelium around the growing oocyte. This stage is called…
Unilaminar primary follicle
The extracellular material between the oocyte and granulosa cells which contains proteins that induce acrosomal activation.
Zona pellucida
Following the LH surge, the _________ is programmed to secrete progesterone for 10-12 days.
Corpus luteum
Decreased secretion of this hormone causes menstruation.
Progesterone
Remnants from the degeneration of the corpus luteum that are phagocytosed by macrophages and invaded by fibroblasts produces a scar of dense connective tissue scar also known as __________.
Corpus albicans
The mucosa of the oviduct is…
Simple columnar epithelium
The following are characteristics of the endometrium EXCEPT:
A. Lamina propria is of type III collagen fibers
B. Lining epithelium is simple columnar
C. Has both ciliated and secretory cells
D. Lamina propria is of type IV collagen fibers
D. Lamina propria is of type IV collagen fibers
TRUE or FALSE:
Straight arteries: Basal layer
Spiral arteries: Functional layer
TRUE
Spiral arteries branch with numerous arterioles supplying a rich capillary bed that includes many dilated, thin-walled vessels called ____________.
Vascular lacunae
During the proliferative phase, the endometrial lining is this type of epithelium.
Simple columnar
The uterine glands a relatively straight tubules with narrow, nearly empty lumens at this stage of the menstrual cycle.
Proliferative phase
Type of secretion that is being utilized by the epithelial cells of the uterine glands during the secretory phase.
Apocrine
The cells that result from segmentation of the zygote are called…
Blastomeres
The __________ layer is continuous with the the amnion and the _________ layer is continuous with the yolk sac.
Epiblast, hypoblast
Which is not correctly paired?
A. Decidua basalis: between the embryo and the myometrium
B. Decidua capsularis: between the embryo and the lumen of the uterus
C. Decidua basalis: between the myometrium and the lumen of the uterus
D. Decidua parietalis: remainder of the decidua
C. Decidua basalis: between the myometrium and the lumen of the uterus
The chorion, which is the embryonic part of the placenta id derived from….
Trophoblast
The maternal part of the placenta is derived from:
A. Decidua parietalis
B. Decidua basalis
C. Cytotrophoblast
D. Syncitiotrophoblast
B. Decidua basalis
The two trophoblast layers together form the ____________.
Chorionic villi
Lining epithelium of the exocervix.
Stratified squamous epithelium
Lining epithelium of the cervix.
Simple columnar to stratified squamous
The cervical glands are found in..
Endocervix or endocervical mucosa
Morphology of the lobes of the mammary gland.
Compound tubuloalveolar
Lining epithelium of lactiferous ducts.
Simple columnar epithelium
Lining epithelium of lactiferous sinus.
Stratified squamous or stratified cuboidal (Junquiera)
A fairly common disorder in which viable cells of the endometrium, displaced during menstruation, reflux into one or both uterine tubes, move upward and grow outside the uterus rather than undergoing vaginal discharge.
Endometriosis
Tanner classification of Vee?
Tanner’s type 5 :)))
