Why is there no mucosa in the general urinary histology?
No submucosa (important for vessels and nutrient absorption from lacteals) because we don’t need to absorb anything from urine after we have already produced it

What does Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) do?
FSH stimulates Sertoli cells and Theca cells
-Most important for initial gamete development
What does luteinizing hormone do?
LH affects leydig cells and granulosa cells
-Most important for sex hormone production
Both released the most during ovulation
How do estrogen and progesterone affect vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF) release? In the ovary
- This builds up endometrial lining
- Zona basalis builds up Zona Functionalis
- “Sprouting Angiogenesis”
- Hemodynamics of the endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle
What is the corpus luteum in the ovary responsible for? what happens if the ovum is fertilized?
Corpus luteum is responsible for secreting progesterone after ovum release. If ovum is fertilized: hCG signals corpus luteum to continue secreting progesterone for about 12 weeks until placenta develop enough to take over (this increases vascular support). If ovum is unfertilized of hCG drops below threshold: corpus luteum will degrade into corpus albicans
What is an ectopic pregnancy?
- Ectopic means out of place
- Most end in abortion
- Almost impossible to re-implant fetus into endometrium
