10
Q

what happens each month

A

hormone release causes several follicles to begin maturing but only one secondary oocyte completes maturation and is ovulated

Q

what is a follicle

A

primary endocrine tissue in the ovary during the first half of the ovarian cycle when it synthesizes and secretes estradiol

16
Q

what happens in theca cells

A

cholesterol > + LH > progesterone > androstenedione

17
Q

what happens in granulose cells

A

androstenedione > testosterone > +FSH > estradiol

18
Q

when does the ability to release eggs begin

A

puberty

19
Q

when does reproductive ability end

A

menopause

20
Q

where do oocytes mature

A

in developing follicles

21
Q

what are the stages of developing follicles

A

primordial > antral > graafian

22
Q

what are the 3 phases of the ovarian cycle

A

follicular phase, ovulation, luteal phase

23
Q

what happens to the primary oocyte in the follicular pahse

A

it is suspended in first meiotic division at birth

24
Q

what are the follicles recruited to grow in the follicular phase

A

granulosa cells and theca cells

25
Q

what happens in antrum formation in follicular phase

A

fluid filled space and growth stimulated by FSH and LH

26
Q

what is required in the mature follicle in the follicular phase

A

estradiol production requires LH and FSH

27
Q

what happens in ovulation

A
  • wall of follicle broken down by proteases, collagenases, prostaglandins
  • follicle ruptures
28
Q

what happens when the follicle ruptures in ovulation

A
  • oocyte has completed first meiotic division

- ovum released into abdominal cavity

29
Q

what happens in the luteal phase

A
  • follicular wall left behind will transform into corpus luteum under influence fo LH
  • corpus luteum produces progesterone and estrogen
30
Q

what is in the endometrium of the uterus

A

stratum functionalists and stratum basalis

31
Q

what is in the myometrium

A

3 layers of SM

32
Q

what is the perimetrium

A

visceral peritoneum

33
Q

what are the 3 phases of the uterine cycle

A
  1. menses
  2. proliferative phase
  3. secretory phase
34
Q

what happens in the menses phase

A

degeneration and sloughing off of stratum functionalism

35
Q

what happens in the proliferative phase

A

regrowth of endometrium

36
Q

what happens in the secretory phase

A

endometrial glands secrete special mucous in response to progesterone and estrogen to prepare for potential implantation of a fertilized ovum

37
Q

how is the uterine cycle regulation by hormones

A
  • corpus luteum will degenerate and the stratum functionalists will be lost with menses
  • gorwing human embryo will produce hCG which will halt the cycle by rescuing the corpus luteum from degernatino to support pregnancy
38
Q

how long do each of the phases in the uterine cycle last

A

menses-about 5 days
proliferative phase - day 6 until ovulation
secretory phase- begins after ovulation and continues to day 28
