Part 2 Definitions Flashcards
Atresia
1st and 2nd wave dominant follicles
Recruitment
High FSH+ low LH pulse frequency+ low inhibin+ low E2
Selected/ Dominant follicles
LH Dependent
Ovulation
Edema+ lysosomal ezymes+ collegenase
Granulosa Cells precursors
large luteal cells
Theca interna cells precursors
small luteal cells
luteal phase lasts
ovulation to luteolysis
large luteal cells
hypertrophy and produce OT+ RLN
small luteal cells
Hyperplasia and produce P4`
counter current exchange system
passive transfer to PGF2a to ovary
PGF2a secreted by
endometrium
increased flow of calcium into the cell
apoptosis
GnRH analogue
Treatment of COD
Theca interna cells have
LH receptors
Granulosa cells have
FSH receptors
FSH receptors causes
aromatase activation to convert T4 to E2
Inhibin causes
inhibition of FSH
Dictates gonadotropins
progesterone
