Module 3 Flashcards
Oogenesis
Growth of oocyte
folliculogenesis
growth of follicle that contains oocyte
primordal follicle
first stage of follicle development
preantral follicle
early growing of antral follicle
antral follicle
space in the follicle called antrum
corpus luteum
creates progesterone during pregnancy
gonadotropin
hormones release by anterior pituitary, act on gondas to increase sex hormone production
LH
produce theca cells
FSH
produce granulosa cells
Gnrh
repsonsible for rellease LH and FSH
HPG
hypothalamic pituitary gondal axis
theca cells
produced by LH, produce androgens
granulosa cells
prodced by FSH, converts androgens to estrogens
androgens
sex hormone
progesterone
maintains endometrium of uterus, supporting pregnancy
estrogen
promote oogenesis and ovulation
spematogenesis
production and maturation of sperm
spermiogenesis
spermatids to sperm
sertoli cell
nurse cells
leydig cells
steriodogenic
peritubular
functional compartment of testes that produces androgens
intratubular
functional compartment of testes that produces sperm
seminiferous tubules
production of sperm
ABP
keeps local concentration of testosterone high
spermatogonia
stem cells (first stage of sperm production)
spermatocytes
after meiosis, type b daughter cells form into spermatocytes
spermatids
last stage before sperm
spermatozoa
sperm
rete testis
bundles of seminiferous tubules
efferent ductules
pathway between rete testis and epididymus
testosterone
male sex hormone
