Lesson 4 Female Rep Flashcards
Give some function of ovaries
Production of oocytes
Secretion of hormones
It is enclosed by Tunica albuginea
Ovaries
Divisions of ovary
Cortex - peripheral area ovarian follicle
medulla - inner area composed of loose connective tissue
Generally consist of oocytes and surrounding follicular cells
Ovarian follicle
Give the parts of oocyte
Viteline membrane- cell membrane
Cytoplasm - contains yolk
Nucleus - around usually in the center
Give the definition of follicular cell
Cells surrounding the oocyte
Give the ovarian follicle development stages from smallest to largest
A. Primordial follicle - most numerous with large primary oocyte
B. Primary follicle - surrounded by the cuboidal single or several layers of cell
C. Secondary or growing follicle -
D. Mature or graafian follicle - largest follicular cell
This type of organ that is the remnant of graafian follicle after ovulation
Corpus hemorrhagicum
It is the organ of yellow body and secrete progesterone
Corpus luteum
If this type of organ which it is whitish scar tissue formed from involved corpus luteum
Corpus albicans
It Transport of male and female gametes and fertilize egg also site of fertilization
Fallopian tube
This is part of fallopian tube, which the longest side of fertilization
Ampulla
It’s a part of fallopian tube, which is short also connects to the uterus
Isthmus
This is where the site of embryo and fetus transport of the sperm
Uterus
Parts of the uterus
Uterine horn - side of implantation
Body - prominent in primates
Cervix - thickest wall
Walls of the uterus
Endometrium - inner layer epithelium
Myometrium - middle layer smooth muscle
Parimetrium - outer layer loose connective tissue
This is the site of deposition of the semen also passage of young during parturition
Vagina
Organs of female reproductive system: mammals
Ovaries
Fallopian tube / oviducts / uterine tubes
Uterus
Vagina
Vulva
Peripheral area, ovarian follicles, corpus
Cortex
Inner area. Composed of loose connective tissue, which contains blood vessels and nerves.
Medulla
Most numerous with large primary oocyte
Primordial follicles
Primary oocyte surrounded by cuboidal, single, or several layers of cells
Primary follicle
Surround the oocyte
Zona pellucida
Parts of secondary follicle
Primary oocyte
Zona pellucida
Corona Radiata
Comulus oophorus
Parts of growing follicle
Antrum
membrana granulosa
Theca folliculi
