Q

Fsh+Fshr

A

FSH and FSH receptor at/ after the primary follicle stage
endocrine regulators

27
Q

Inha

A

Inhibin a
inhibits FSH secretion

28
Q

Igf1

A

insulin like growth factor 1
increases responsiveness of follicular cells to gonadotropin

29
Q

Cend2

A

Regulated by FSH and is required for granulosa cells proliferation

30
Q

Foxo1/3

A

forkhead box o transcription factor-
highly expressed in granulosa cells and can regulate follicle growth or death

31
Q

Smad 3

A

mediator of transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway and required for follicular growth

32
Q

Taf4b

A

transcription factor that has a role in meiotic gene expression

33
Q

What type of follicle is seen with a deleted FSH gene

A

lack antral follicles

34
Q

Antral to preovulatory follicle transition genes

A

Esr1 and 2
Aevr2a
Gja4
Connexins

35
Q

Esr1 and 2

A

estradiol receptor

36
Q

Aevr2a

A

activin receptor type 2a
activin can stimulate granulosa cell proliferation and increase estradiol receptors

37
Q

Gja4

A

gap junction protein

38
Q

Connexins

A

blocks development after antral or primary stage depending on number

39
Q

What forms the gap junctions for communication between oocytes and granulosa

A

projections

40
Q

Zona pellucida

A

the extracellular matrix that surrounds the plasma membrane of the egg cell

41
Q

what type of junction is between follicles and oocytes

A

gap junctions

42
Q

gap junctions are made of

A

proteins called connexons composed of six subunits

43
Q

Follicles and oocytes use what types of communication

A

gap junctions
paracrine communication

44
Q

What does the oocyte secrete

A

GDF-9 required for follicular development past primary stage

45
Q

What is the role of the oocyte in follicle growth

A

secretes GDF-9
affects granulosa cell differentiation
affects energy and metabolic function of granulosa cells
increase follicle cell growth and division
produces proteins for formation of zona pellicuda

46
Q

Dogma of follicle development

A

at birth, or soon after the female is equipped with the number of germ cell for the rest of her life

47
Q

Atresia

A

programmed cell death

48
Q

what amount of follicles are destined for astresia

A

99%

49
Q

stages of gonadotropin dependence

A

Gonadotropin independent
Gonadotropin responsive
gonadotropin dependent

50
Q

Gonadotropin independent

A

initial development occurs independent of gonadotropins

51
Q

Gonadotropin responsive

A

follicles can respond to gonadotropins but it is not required for follicle growth

52
Q

Gonadotropin dependent

A

follicles have been stimulated to grow towards ovulation
removal of gonadotropins results inatresia

53
Q

Stages of follicular recruitment

A

initial recruitment
cyclic recruitment

54
Q

Initial recruitment

A

primordial follicular pool recruited into the pool of growing follicles in a continuous manner

55
Q

cyclic recruitment

A

cohort of antral follicles are recruited to grow towards ovulation during a specific estrous cycle

56
Q

Stages of the follicular waves

A

Recruitment
Selection
dominance

57
Q

At day 0 what occurs in the follicular wave

A

structure- mature graafian follicle from previous cycle
ovulation occurs
hormone- estrogen is high which inhibits FSH

58
Q

At ovulation what happens to the hormones

A

Estrogen decreases
FSH increases
stimulates follicles

59
Q

Recruitment

A

cohort of small antral follicles initiate growth following release from the inhibition of the previously dominant follicle and an increase in circulating concentrations of FSH

60
Q

Selection

A

typically one follicle selected for continued growth
FSH decreased in response to negative feedback of estradiol and inhibin from the growing cohort of recruited follicles
dominant follicle becomes dependent on LH

61
Q

Dominance

A

selected follicle becomes dominant
secretes estradiol and inhibin which keeps circulating concentrations of FSH low
prevents recruitment of the next wave

62
Q

purpose of miotic arrest

A

prevents using up all the oocytes too early

63
Q
A
