FOLLICULOGENESIS Flashcards
when does the primordial follicle develop into primary, secondary and tertiary follicles?
when follicle are recruited from primordial pool
what happen to the majority of the follicles that fails to complete when entering the growth phase?
degenerate / Atresia
in this type of follicle, there is a presence stratified layers, called granular cells
Primary Follicle
when the primordial follicle gets activated, the squamous follicular cell forms _____?
Cuboidal monolayer
when the primordial folic call gets activated, the squamous follicular cell forms _____?
Cuboidal monolayer
oocyte and granulosa cell produces glycoprotein which forms the?
Zona Pellucida
Zona pellucida surrounds the oocyte to act as a protective covering to avoid ____?
Polyspermy
Stromal cells surrounding the granulosa cells
theca cells
It is the fluid contained in the antrum
follicular fluid
oogenic cell contained in the primary follicle
primary oocyte
Follicle where small fluid space appears?
Tertiary Follicle
It is the accumulation of granulosa cell that keeps the oocyte attached to the follicular wall
Cumulus oophorus
Mature follicle is referred to as?
Graafian Follicle
Steroid synthesis switches from estradiol to?
progesterone production
Phase of oocyte maturation where the process of meiosis is resumed and continues to metaphase 2
Nuclear oocyte maturation
