Menstural Cycle Flashcards
Secondary oocyte is arrested In the which stage
Secondary oocyte is arrested In the diplotene stage
Number of follicles is max at
Intrauter life 5 th month 6-7 millions
Birth 1-2 million
Puberty 4-5 lakhs follicles
Initial recruitment of follicles is
Hormones independent
Gnrh is released in —————- manner
Pulsatile
Functions of fsh
Prevent follicles from undergoing atresia
Stimulates follicles
Role of fsh
Fsh acts on granulosa cells
Estrogen
Inhibit b
Estrogen negative feedback on fsh
Positive feedback on lh
Proliferate uterine endometrium
Fsh receptors are present in
Granulosa cells
Granulosa cell tumour of ovary
Feminizing tumour because of Estrogen
And inhibit b Is the tumour marker
Inhibit b acts
As negative feedback on fsh
Y estroge alone is not given intact uterus patients
Endometrial cancer
Endometrial hyperplasia
Role of lh
Lh surge
Acts on theca cells
Acts on granulosa cells
Lh surge is initiated by
Estrogen
Lh surge
Meiosis resumes
Follicles converting into corpus luteum
Estrogen on theca cells
Produces androgens
Characteristics is theca cells and granulosa
Aromatise enzyme absent
Cyp17
And vice versa
Theca cells receptors for
Lh
Granulo cells receptors for
Fsh
Role of lh on granulosa cells
Acts on granulosa cells
Produces progesterone
Lh receptors preset on
Theca and granulosa cells
Protester produced earlier in menstrual cycle
32-36 hrs before lh surge
Small quantities of progesterone effects on lh and fsh
Positive
