A

4 months

21
Q

What does secondary follicles consist of

A

Become atretic and die or become a tertiary follicle

22
Q

What does tertiary follicle consist of

A

Grow until reaching graafian status

  • single Graafian follicle ruptures
  • ovulation; egg released
  • follicle leftover become a corpus luteum
23
Q

What is oogenesis

A

-process begins before birth in females
•meiosis 1 begins during fetal devolvement and then stops
-menarche-menopause restarts meiosis one batch of follicle/cycle
•start meiosis 2
•stop again
•undergo atresia or ovulation
•wait for sperm

24
Q

If fertization is then complete mesiosis 2 produces what?

A

Mature ovum

25
Q

What does oogenasis include that spermatogensis does not

A
-meiosis 1 divides cytoplasm unevenly
   •produces
         -1 seconday oocyte and 1 polar body
-meiosis 2 divides cytoplasm unevenly
      •produces 
            -1 ootid and 1 polar body
26

A
  • changes with menstrual cycling

- constantly prepping for pregnancy

29
Q

What does the basilar zone consist of in the endometrial layer

A

33
Q

When does ovulation occur?

A

When uterine lining is thickens

34
Q

When does menses occur

A

Occurs when follicles are still maturing

35
Q

How are GnRH, LH ,and FSH regulated in female reproductive system

A

Negatively regulated by estrogen feedback

36
Q

What happens prior to ovulation

A

Estrogen builds which positively regulates more LH release

- high estrogen
- LH spike (triggers ovulation)
