17
Q

Female gametogensis overview

A

Gametes produced in ovaries
Fertilization=oviduct
Iimplantation=uterus

18
Q

Oogenesis mitotic division

A
1st meiotic division=in ovary 
-begin @ embryonic develop 
  :not @ birth unitl puberty 
-After each ovulation 
  :oocyte-->fallopiantube 
2nd meiotic division 
-metaphase arrest (prior to oviduct) 
-if fertilized =completed in oviduct
19
Q

Ovaries

A
Layers 
-Tunic albuginea 
-Germinal epith. (smp. cub.) 
Function 
-produce femal gamete 
-secrete estrogen/progest. 
-reg. postnatal growth/reproduced organd 
-develop 2ndry sex organs
20
Q

Fallopian tube

A

AKA oviduct

Fembri=cilia that bind to outer cilular layer of oocyte(corna radiata)

21
Q

oogonia

A
Cells that develop during fetal development 
-mitosis incre. number of future oocyte 
Dnt need BB(unlike male) b/c was developing during immune syst. develop
Most not fully develop=atresia 
-apoptosis of surrounding cells
-80% of cells are destroyed b4 birth
Brith
-ovaries contain 600,00 to 800,000
-arrest in prophase I
22
Q

Basic follicle structure

A
Oocyte 
Zona peluccida 
-glylcoprot. 
-very eosin 
Granulosa cell=supporting cells
23
Q

Follicle structure-oocyte

A

Developing female gamete
-mature=ovum/oval
Vry lrg cell w/ incre number of sub organell
-male=nuclei, mitoch, flagella
Proj. irreg. microvilli–>perivitelline space
Granulosa cell extend in perivitelline space
-allow for communication w/ oocyte a part of communication

24
Q

Perivitelline space

A

b/w oocyte/granulosa cell

Zona pellucida forms

25
Q

Follicle structuer-2ndry follice structures

A

Cumulus oophorus w/ granuloa cells
Corona radiata
-cell layer surround oocyte after release
Microvilli penetrate zona pellucida/contact oocyte microvilli
No cytoplasmic continuity
-but communicate through gap junction

26
Q

Follicular develop

A
Stg1. =primordial oocyte
Stg2=primary follicle 
Stg. 3=secondary follicle 
Stg. 4=graafian 
Stg5=relase
27
Q

Follicular develop-stg. 1/primordial

A

Housing primary oocyte w/ sq. cells(granulosa cells)

B4 birth/puberty

28
Q

A
AKA developed primordial cell
No layers 
Arrest after crossing over and wait until pubert @ prophase I
