module 2-Female Reproductive anatomy

Question 1

functions of the ovary

Answer 1

cytogenic(produce gametes)
endocrine(secrete hormones)

Question 2

main hormones released by ovary

Answer 2

estrogen
progesterone

Question 3

configuration(layers) of ovary

Answer 3

tunica albuginia
cortex
medulla
hilus

Question 4

tunica albuginia(ovary)

Answer 4

outer covering of ovary made of epithelial cells

Question 5

cortex(ovary)

Answer 5

houses growth of ovarian structures(corpus luteum, follicles)

Question 6

medulla(ovary)

Answer 6

loose connective tissue, houses vasculature, major nerves, lymphatic system

Question 7

hilus(ovary)

Answer 7

supports ovary
influx of blood vessels and lymph

Question 8

primordial follicle

Answer 8

single layer of squamous cells around the oocyte

Question 9

primary follicle

Answer 9

a single layer of cuboidal cells, oocyte has grown

Question 10

secondary follicle

Answer 10

two or more layers of cuboidal granulosa cells

Question 11

tertiary follicle

Answer 11

early antrum formation and theca layer

Question 12

dominant/graafian follicle

Answer 12

continued antrum formation and oocyte growht

Question 13

cumulus granulosa cells

Answer 13

close to oocyte
travel with oocyte post ovulation

Question 14

mural granulosa cells

Answer 14

further from oocyte
communicate with theca cells

Question 15

corpus hemorrhagicum

Answer 15

blood clot from newly ruptured follicle
lasts 1-2 days

Question 16

corpus luteum

Answer 16

required for maintenance of pregnancy
produces progesterone
control ovarian cycle

Question 17

corpus albicans

Answer 17

scar tissue that remains after CL regresses
eventually morphs into ovarian tissue

Question 18

why are cows CL yellow, and pigs pink

Answer 18

Diet: cows eat a high-forage diet, forage contains beta keratein which turns it yellow

mucosa

Answer 24

secretory layer(hormones and mucus)
