Q

Action of LH? What cell?

A

LH stimulates activation of DESMOLASE in THECA CELLS which converts CHOLESTEROL to PREGNENOLONE, forming ANDROSTEINEDIONE

Q

Effect of menopause on FSH, estrogen, inhibin, granulosa cells?

A

Decreased granny cells –> low estradiol and low inhibin –> high FSH (because of low inhibin)

Q

Effects of estrogen on uterus and cervix?

A

Uterus: increase rate of mitotic division (proliferation)

Cervix: cause cervical mucus to be thin and watery - easier for sperm to traverse; causes FERNING of cervical mucus

Q

Effects of progesterone on uterus and cervix?

A

Uterus: endometrium becomes secretory, providing a source of nutrients for the blastocyst; subnucleolar vacuoles, stroma becomes edematous

Cervix: mucus becomes THICK

Q

Chemotactic activating factor for neutrophils in the pre-menstrual endometrium?

27
Q

Key event in endometrium pre-menstruation

A

Infiltration of stroma by PMNs, giving a pseudoinflammatory appearance to the tissue

28
Q

Most striking and constant event the precedes the onset of menstruation

29
Q

When is the endometrium restored completely after onset of menses

A

Day 5 of menses

30
Q

Most important factor in recovery of endometrium after menses

A

Estrogen increase in the early follicular phase

31
Q

Earliest histological evidence of progesterone action in the endometrium

A

Basal vacuolization

32
Q

When is endometrial secretion at its maximum?

A

At the time of blastocyst implantation

33
Q

Most appropriate endometrium for implantation

A

Predecidual reaction (day 20-24 of cycle)

Most ripe for implantation

34
Q

When does leukocyte infiltration begin?

A

1-2 days before onset of menses

35
Q

Trigger for endometrial leukocyte infiltration?

36
Q

Source of hormones in the preovulatory phase

A

Follicular granulosa cells

37
Q

What happens to the endometrium in pregnancy?
