Which follicles are antral?
secondary =secretory
28
the zone pellucid forms with what kind of follicle?
primary
29
which follicles are resting?
primordial
30
What does the zone pellucida do?
acts as an immunologic protective barrier for the developing egg and early embryo
31
what follicle contains a primary oocyte with zona pellucida and corona radiata cells?
secondary follicle
32
liquor folliculi formation begins with what kind of follicle?
secondary/antral
33
after ovulation, the corpus hemorrhagicum will be replaced by ___
luteal cells to become the corpus luteum
34
what hormones does the corpus luteum produce?
progesterone and some estrogen
35
what does progesterone do?
maintain pregnancy, stimulate mammary development, and locally down regulate the immune system
36
the corpus luteum regresses during what stage?
diestrus
37
what is the connective tissue scar that remains after regression of the corpus luteum?
corpus albicans (white body)
38
what is an atretic follicle?
follicle not selected to complete maturation that will undergo apoptosis
39
the corpus luteum contains what types of cell populations?
theca and granulosa cells
40
what hormone activates sertoli cells?
FSH
41
what do sertoli cells secrete?
AMH, inhibin/activins to regulate FSH, ABP
42
What does androgen binding protein do?
binds testosterone, increase concentrations in the seminiferous tubules and stimulate spermatogenesis
43
spermatogenesis is very sensitive to _____
temperature, X ray radiation, vitamin A, diseases, stress, and drugs
44
spermatogonia remain dormant until puberty then proliferate by ___ division
mitotic
45
where is meiosis completed in spermatogenesis?
testes
46
Do spermatids divide?
no they undergo metamorphosis
47
when do oogonia complete their proliferation?
early embryonic stage
48
females are born with what kind of oocytes?
primary
49
one oocyte gives rise to how many ova?
1
50
where is meiosis completed in oogenesis?
salpinx (Fallopian tube)
51
when does oogenesis stop?
after the ovary is exhausted of germ cells (10-12 years in dogs, 14-16 in cattle, 20-22 yrs in mares)
52
only ____ sperms can undergo acrosome reactions
capacitated
53
where does capacitation of sperm occur?
uterine environment
54
What does the sperm need to digest its way through the zone pellucida?
release of acrosomal enzymes
55
where does sperm most commonly contact the oocyte?
fallopian tube
56
what prevents other sperm from penetrating the zona pellucida?
sperm contact with oocyte releases proteases from the cortical granules modifying the zona pellucida, acting as a barrier
57
what causes the oocyte to complete meiosis 2 ?
calcium wave
58
what is syngamy?
union of male and female pronuclei entering the first mitotic division
59
__n = a zygote
2n
60
Do spermatogonia and oogonia have complete DNA complement?
Yes. Primitive sex cells undergo mitosis
61
do spermatocytes and oocytes undergo mitosis or meiosis?
meiosis (to give rise to gametes)
62
what consists of a tertiary follicle?
one antrum containing liquor follicle, eccentric cumulus oophorus, contains primary oocyte

axoneme of cilia/sperm flagella is a derivative of a modified _____
centriole (basal body)
64
can spermatogenesis continue throughout life?
yes
65
when does oogenesis stop?
when they ovary is exhausted of primordial follicles
