hush hush final Flashcards
connective tissue on the outside of the ovary
Tunica albuginea
produces seeds – follicles
Germinal epithelium
immature follicle
**primordial
vesicular follicle – getting ready to release
Graffian follicle
secretes progesterone
Corpus luteum
happens in the uterus to prepare for a fertilized egg
Menstrual Cycle
the maturation of the follicle and egg
Ovarian Cycle
feeling of releasing an egg from the ovary
Mittleschmertz
menstrual phase
- actual bleeding
- day 1-6
Proliferative Phase
a. Growing phase –preparing the nest
b. Building the lining of the endometrium
c. Day 6-14
Secretory Phase – the longest
a. Optimal
b. Endometrium lining gets real thick
c. Day 14-28
Peak so the growth of the endometrial lining can start
Estrogen
goal of this hormone is to nurture the nest in order to support a pregnancy
progesterone
- pregnancy hormone
- doesn’t secrete until egg is implanted
HCG
peaking and that starts the secretory phase
LH and FSH
tubal pregnancy
eptopic pregnancy
multiple cysts
- Triad of signs and symptoms
- 1) metabolic X
- 2) insulin resistance
- 3) increased testosterone
Polysitic Ovary Syndrome
endometriousis
an often painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside your uterus. Endometriosis most commonly involves your ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining your pelvis. Rarely, endometrial tissue may spread beyond pelvic organs.
- bundles of fibrotic connective tissue
- on the other side of the uterus or within
Fibroids
Hydatiform
a rare mass or growth that forms inside the womb (uterus) at the beginning of a pregnancy
ph of blood
7.35-7.45
eyrthopoesis
making new erythrocytes
what prevents back flow into the left atrium of the heart
bicuspid valve
how do our lungs stay in place
surface tension
Glycolysis is
the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism.
Glycolysis breaks down
glucose and forms pyruvate with the production of two molecules of ATP.
glycolysis happens
in the cytoplasm of a cell
where does the kreb cycle occur
in the cristae of the mitochondria
where is water reabsorbed
large intestine
why is the krebs cycle important
cellular respiration, in which glucose, fatty acids and certain amino acids, the so-called fuel molecules, are oxidized (see Figure). The oxidation of these molecules is primarily used to transform the energy contained in these molecules into ATP
smallest functional unit of the lungs
respiratory bronchile
ETC happens in
the membrane of the mitochondria
The electron transport chain is a
a system of molecules through which electrons are transferred to generate ATP. It has an important role in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
what is IgA
Immunoglobulin A is a antibody present in the mucosal secretions of most mammals, represents a key first line of defence against invasion by inhaled and ingested pathogens at the vulnerable mucosal surfaces
amines are
messenger hormones
The endocrine system is
a collection of glands that secrete chemical messages we call hormones. These signals are passed through the blood to arrive at a target organ, which has cells possessing the appropriate receptor.
hormones target
the cell
thyroid does what
creates thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
thyroid is stimulated by
TSH from the pituitary gland
FSH does what in females
- stimulates ovary to produce steroids
- ovary will produce estradiol during follicular phase and progesterone during luteal phase
- surge at midcycle, with LH, triggers ovulation
FSH does what in males
- stimulates Sertoli cells to produce androgen-binding protein (ABP), thereby stimulating spermatogenesis
- FSH also stimulates Sertoli cells to produce inhibin, which provides negative feedback to the anterior pituitary to decrease FSH secretion
LH does what in females
- stimulates ovary to produce steoroids
- surge at midcycle triggers ovulation
- remember, luteinizing hormone turns the follicle into the corpeus luteum by triggering ovulation
LH does what in males
- stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone
- testosterone provides negative feedback to anterior pituitary and hypothalamus
what is responsible for BP juxtaglumenlar cells
kidney
helps regulate blood volume
atrial natriuretic peptide
aldosterone is also
sodium
brachial cephallic branches into
radial and ulnar
how is BP calculated
systolic pressure over diastolic pressure
cardiac output
= stroke volume + cardiac output
