Mod 2- Female Reproductive

Question 1

what are the 2 layers of the overies

Answer 1

cortex + medulla

cortex- composed of stroma cells and ovarian follicles

medulla- blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerve fibres

Question 2

follicular development stages (4)

Answer 2

primordial- follicle cell with an oocyte

Primary

Secondary- due to recreation of FSH turns into secondary (2n)

Tertiary- will then go to fallopian tube

Question 3

what does the primordial consist of

Answer 3

ring of squamous cells with primary oocyte inside

millions of these in ovaries

Question 4

what does the primary follicle consist of

Answer 4

cuboidal cells surrounding oocyte (zone pellucida separates the oocyte from follicular cells)

Question 5

secondary follicle structure

Answer 5

• very few primary are changed into secondary

- a chamber (antrum) is developed and filled with liquor folliculi for nutrients

Question 6

structure of late secondary follicle

Answer 6

Large antrum with granulose cells with oocyte in middle w thick zona pellucida

Question 7

what occurs in the formation of a gradian follicle

Answer 7

continued proliferation of the granulosa cells and continued formation of liquor folliculi

Question 8

what is the process of ovulation

Answer 8

process of releasing the oocyte from the gradual follicle

Question 9

What is the Corpus Luteteum

Answer 9

Formed from the remnants of the gradian follicle (temporary endocrine gland)

Question 10

What is granules lutein cells (what were they once)

Answer 10

-Were the gransulusa cells from graaifian follicle that differentiate into hormone producing cells

Question 11

What are theca lutein cells and what do they produce

Answer 11

• Derived from theca cells

- produce androgens and progesterone

Question 12

what is the corpus albicans

Answer 12

name change of when the corpus lutetium shrinks and wilts aways

Question 13

what is the oviduct and what are the parts

Answer 13

-placement for fertilization

1. Infundibulum
2. Ampula (enlargement)
3. Istmus (narrrowing)
4. Intramural- portion within uterus

Question 14

what is the fallopian tube histologically composed of

Answer 14

-consits of a mucosa and muscularis

Question 15

what does the mucous layer of the fallopian tubes consist of

Answer 15

Ciliated and non ciliated cells (peg cells)

the ciliated cells allows movement of the oocyte

Question 16

what is the function of the muscular in the fallopian tubes

Answer 16

creates peristaltic activity that is important for the transport of sperm and oocyte

Question 17

what is an ectopic pregnancy

Answer 17

fertalization happens but the oocyte doesn’t move toward the uterus and gets stuck where it is fertilized

-in fallopian tubes or outside (in abdominal cavity)

Question 18

Uterus and its 3 layers (in to out)

Answer 18

Endometrium
Myometrium
Primetrium

Question 19

2 layers of the endometrium (type of epi)

Answer 19

1: functional- boders lumen, sloughed off during menstration
2: Basal- retained at menstration, source of cells for regeneration of functional layer
- simple columnar epi)

Question 20

what is the myometrium and what is it important for

Answer 20

muscles orientated in various directions and is important for delivery of the baby

Question 21

steps of menstual cycle

Answer 21

1. menstrual phase
2. Proliferative (follicular)
3. Ovulatory- peak LH
4. Secratory (luteal)
5. Premenstrul

Question 22

what happens in the follicular (proliferative) phase

Answer 22

• primordial follicles begin to develop
• FSH and LH stim estrogen and progesterone production
• growing ovarian folicle secretes estrogen that is responsible for proliferation of endometrium

Question 23

what happens during the luteal phase

Answer 23

large amounts of progesterone released

• if fertilization does not occur corpus lutetium degenerates if not it is maintained
• maximal reception ability

Question 24

what hormone indicated pregnancy has occurred

Answer 24

HCG- human chorionic gonadotropin

Question 25

layers of the vagina (what type of epi)

Answer 25

Mucosa- strat squamus (no glands)

Musularis- 2 layers (circ and long)

Adventitia

Question 26

what do vaginal epithelium cells have that control vaginal microbiota

Answer 26

contain glycogen

Question 27

what type of glands are maxillary glands

Answer 27

compound tubuloalveolar
