Q

What is this?

A

Secondary Follicle

20
Q

What cell type has Call-Exner bodies?

A

Secondary follicles

These are small intercular spaces that contain follicular fluid

21
Q

What is this?

A

Mature (Graffian) Follicle

22
Q

What is this?

A

Mature Follicle

23
Q

What is this?

A

Corpus Luteum

24
Q

What is luteolysis?

A

When there is no fertilization so the sorpus luteum degrades into the corpus albicans

25
Q

What is this?

A

Corpus Albicans (scar tissue)

26
Q
A
27
Q

What is follicular atresia?

A

Failure of a follicle to ovulate

Accomplished via apoptosis

28
Q

What is the oviduct?

A

The arms of the uteurs that catch the ovulated secondary oocyte and transport it to the uterus

29
Q

What are the regions of the oviduct?

A

Infundibulum w/ Fimbriae

Ampulla + Isthmus (lined by mucosal folds)

Intramural

30
Q

What does the wall of the oviduct look like?

A
31
Q

What is this?

A

Oviduct Mucosa

32
Q

What are the 3 layers of the uterus?

A
  1. Endometrium (functional + basal layer)
  2. Myometrium (stratum vasculature)
  3. Perimetrium
33
Q

Straight segment of arcuate arteries supplies what layer of endometrium in the uterus?

A

basal layer

coiled = functional layer

34
Q

What are the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle?

A
  1. Proliferative phase
  2. Secretory Phase
  3. Ischemic Phase
  4. Menstrual Phase
35
Q

What phase of the menstrual cycle is this?

A

Proliferative Phase

  • functional layer = thin
  • stroma more cellular

glands = straight

36
Q

What phase of the menstrual cycle is this?

A

Secretory Phase

-tubular, convoluted glands

-lacunae = widespread + filled with blood

37
Q

What phase of the menstrual cycle is this?

A

Ischemic Phase

  • constriction of spiral arteries
  • sponge like
38
Q

Which layer of the endometrium sloughs off as menstrual flow?

A

Functional Layer

Signals Day 1 of BOTH ovarian + uterine cycle

39
Q

If pregnancy takes place, what cells increase in size to provide an immune-protective environment and moderate syncytiotrophoblast invasion for the embryo?

A

Decidual cells via decidual reaction

Due to increased progesterone

40
Q

What cell type is ectocervix made of?

A

Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium

41
Q

What cell type is the endocervix and cervical crypts?

A

simple columnar cells

42
Q

What is this?

A

Transformation zone between endocervix and ectocervix (larger)

43
Q

What are the 3 layers of the vagina?

A
  1. Mucosal layer
  2. Muscularis layer
  3. Adventitial layer
44
Q

What is this?

A

Vagina

45
Q

What is this?

A

Labia majora (sebecous glands/ducts)

mons pubis –> has hair follicles
