1- Ovarian - anchors medially to uterus

2 and 3 together are Broad Ligament, peritoneum
which layer of uterus responds to hormones from the ovaries
endometrium
blood supply of uterus and ovaries
ovarian arteries and ovarian branch of uterine artery
where are ovarian follicles
embedded in ovary cortex
immature egg called
oocyte
each follicle consists of what
an oocyte
two types of cells around ooctye
follicle cells and granulosa cells
one layer of squamous-like follicle cells surrounds the oocyte
primordial follicles
two or more layers of cuboidal granulosa cells enclose the oocyte
primary follicle
has a fluid-filled space between granulosa cells that coalesces to form a central antrum
secondary follicle
secondary follicle at its most mature stage that bulges from the surface of the ovary
Graafian follicle (vesicular follicle)
ejection of oocyte from the ripening follicle
ovulation
ruptured follicle after ovulation
corpus luteum
what gets ovulated?
secondary oocyte
when do primordial follicles become proimary follicles?
During fetal development
cilia of the infyundibulum are called
Fimbria
visceral peritoneum that supports the uterine tubes
mesosalpinx
hollow,thick-walledorganlocatedinthepelvisanteriorto the rectum and posterosuperior to the bladder
uterus
major portion of uterus
body
rounded region superior to the entrance of the uterine tubes
fundus
narrowed region between the body and cervix
isthmus
what produces the mucus that covers the external os and blocks sperm entry except during mid-cycle?
