Q

FSH induces aromatase and expansion of the

A

Antrum of growing follicles

21
Q

Most responsive to FSH is likely to be the first to produce estradiol and initiate expression of LH receptors.

A

Follicle within the cohort

22
Q

When selection window comes from

Oocyte induced oocyte growth

A

Follicle within the cohort

23
Q

LH stimulates thecal cell production of androgens then transferred to to adjacent follicles and are aromatized to estradiol

A

Late follicular phase

24
Q

Granulosa cells produce inhibin B, then to feedback on the pituitary to inhibit FSH release

A

Early follicular phase

25
Q

Dominant follicle begins to grow.
Estradiol and Inhibition production increase
Decline of follicular to reach preovulatory status

A

Graafian follicle stage

26
Q

95% of plasma estradiol is secreted by the

A

Dominant follicle

27
Q

Ovulation

Onset of gonadotropin surge from increasing estrogen secretion

A

Predictor of ovulation

28
Q

Ovulation

It occurs _______ before ovum release from the follicle

A

34-36hrs

29
Q

Ovulation

LH secretion peaks _______ before ovulation and stimulates resumption of meiosis in the ovum and release of the first polar body.

A

10-12hours

30
Q

Ovulation

Lose contact with one another and move outward from the oocyte along the hyaluronan polymer.

A

Cumulus cells

31
Q

Corpus luteum develops from the dominant or graffian follicle remains in a process referred to as luteinization

A

Luteal or postovulatory ovarian phase

32
Q

Luteal or postovulatory ovarian phase

Basement membrane separating the

Luteal or postovulatory ovarian phase

Blood vessels and capillaries invade the granulosa cell layer

A

Days 2 post ovulation

34
Q

Luteal or postovulatory ovarian phase

In day 2 there’s rapid neovascularazation maybe due to

A

Theca lutein and granulosa lutein cells

35
Q

Luteal or postovulatory ovarian phase

Cells undergo

A

Hypertrophy

Increase hormones

36
Q

Luteal or postovulatory ovarian phase

Corpus luteum

A

After ovulation, estrogen levels decrease

A

Secondary rise of 0.25 mg/day

173 estradiol at the midluteal phase

38
Q

Estrogen

Secondary decline in estradiol production

A

End of luteal phase

39
Q

Progesterone

Midluteal phase

A

Production peaks at 25-50 mg/day

40
Q

Progesterone

Corpus luteum

A

Continues progesterone production in response o HCG

41
Q

Transient endocrine organ

A

Corpus luteum

42
Q

Corpus luteum

Will regress

A

9-11 days after ovulation in absence of pregnancy

Decrease LH luteal phase

43

A

Suferficial endometrium (functionalis layer)

47
Q

Proliferative or pre ovulatory phase

Near the end of the menstrual cycle the coiled arteries constrict, depriving the functionalis layer of its blood supply and leading to

A

Necrosis and sloughing of this layer
