Q

What are blue and Green

A

Green= cuboidal granulosa cells convert estrogen-precursor to estrogen

Blue= Zona Pellucida

Red= Theca interna cells form from stromal cells
luteinizing hormone stimulates them to secrete steroid estrogen-precursor

Q

Label each

A

Granulosa cells secrete fluid rich in estrogen & GAGs – liquor folliculi

Antrum (A) (spaces that collect the liquor folliculi) – appearance indicates secondary follicle)

Theca interna (TI, white line) has steroid secreting cells (bubbly lipid droplets)

Theca externa (TE, blue line) has fibroblasts & smooth muscle

Q

Whats going on here

A

Menstrual: Functional layer shed – rough luminal surface

17
Q

Whats going on here?

A

Proliferative
▪ Smooth luminal surface
▪ Uterine glands are straight
▪ Coincides w/ follicular phase

18
Q

Whats going on here?

A

Secretory
▪ Glands secrete & coil (zigzag) ▪ Sinuses (lacunae) fill w/ blood ▪ Coincides w/ luteal phase
