Q

when ovulation occurs corona radiata goes

A

with the egg as it goes into uterine tube so in order to fertilize the egg it has to make it through both of these layers (corona radiata, zona pellucida) to reach the egg

Q

ovulation

Q

hormone regulation on spermatogenesis and androgen production

A
  1. GnRH stimulates anterior pituitary gland to secrete FSH and LH
  2. LH stimulates interstitial cells to secrete testosterone, FSH stimulates sustentacular cells to secrete androgen-binding protein (ABP)
  3. Testosterone stimulates spermatogenesis but inhibits GnRH secretion and reduces the anterior pituitary glands sensitivity to GnRH
  4. Rising sperm count levels causes sustentacular cells to secrete inhibin, further inhibiting FSH secretion
  5. testosterone stimulates libido and development of secondary sex characteristics

Q

zona pellucide penetration

A

- release of digestive enzymes from acrosomes
- allows sperm to penetrate zona pellucida

After penetration of secondary oocyte:
- immediate hardening of zona pellucida
- prevents other sperm from entering this layer
- ensures only one sperm fertilizes the oocyte

Q

positive feedback mechanism of true labor

A
  1. oxytocin is released from mother and fetus hypothalamus
  2. stimulates uterus to contract and placenta to make prostaglandins
  3. prostaglandings stimulate more frequent and intense contractions of uterus
  4. uterine contractions cause fetal head to push against cervix, causing it to stretch and dilate
  5. dilating cervix initiates nerve signals to hypothalamus which causes more oxytocin release from mother and fetus

Q

EPO regulation of erythrocyte production

A
  1. decreased blood oxygen levels
  2. kidney detects decreased blood O2
  3. kidney cells release EPO into blood
  4. EPO stimulates red bone marrow to increase the rate of production of erythrocytes
  5. increased numbers of erythrocytes enter the circulation, during which time the lungs oxygenate erythrocytes and blood O2 levels increase
  6. increased O2 levels are detected by kidney, stopping EPO release (negative feedback)

Q

erythrocyte recycling

A
  1. eryhtrocytes form in red bone marrow
  2. they circulate in blood for about 120 days
  3. aged erythrocytes are phagocytized by macrophages in the liver and spleen. the three components of hemoglobin are separated (globin, heme, iron)
  4. each of separated coponents of hemoglobin have different fate
    - globin proteins: broken down into amino acids and enter the blood (potential use to make new erythrocytes)
    - iron: small amounts of iron are lost in sweat, urine, and feces daily; also lost during injury or mestruation
    - heme: converted to biliverdin then bilirubin which is transported to liver by albumin and released as bile into small intestine. then bilirubin is converted to urobilinogen in small intestine (some urobilinogen absorbed back into blood and converted into urobilin and excreted in urine, most continues in large intense and is converted into stercobilin and expelled in feces)

Q

steps of SA node generating action potential

A
  1. Reaching threshold
    - slow voltage gated Na+ channels open
    - inflow of Na+ changes membrane potential from -60mV to -40mV
  2. Depolarization
    - fast voltage gated Ca2+ channels open. inflow of Ca2+ changes membrane potential from -40mV to just above 0mV
  3. Repolarization
    - fast voltage gated Ca2+ close. voltage gated K+ channels open allowing K+ outflow. MP returns to -60mV and K+ channels close

Q

steps of cardiac muscle cells

A
  1. Depolarization
    - fast voltage gated Na+ channels open and Na+ flows into cell reversing polarity from -90mV to +30mV. Channels then close
  2. Plateau
    - voltage gated K+ channels open and K+ flow out of cardiac muscle cells. slow voltage gated Ca2+ channels open and Ca2+ moves into the cell with no electrical change and depolarized state is maintained
  3. Repolarization
    - voltage gated Ca2+ channels close, voltage gated K+ channels remain open and K+ moves out of cardiac muscle cell, and polarity is reversed from +30mV to -90mV
