Q

state the changes that occur to oocyte from pprimordial follicle to tertiary follicle

A

pimary follicle - ZP forms. Granulosa becomes cuboid
2 follicle - stroma like theca cells recruitied, become theca exerna + interna. Increased number of granulosa cell and antrum forms between granulosa
3 follicle - theca interna expresses LH receptors and produces oestrogen. Granulosa cells become corona radiata and cumulus oophorus.

Q

how does fsh and lh act on males and females

A

males:
fsh acts on sertoli - spermatogenesis and inhibin
lh acts on leydig - testosterone

females :
fsh acts on granulosa cells
lh acts on theca interna

Q

during menstrual cycle explain following hormones - oest, prog, fsh, lh

A

oestrogen - rises slowly then peaks just before lh surge. rises again with CL and then regresses post death
prog - low then rises with CL and peaks
FSH - rise in first few days then down, then peak with LH surge and down after
LH - peaks at ovulation (day 14)

thickens endometrium, thin alkaline mucus at cervix, vaginal changes (thicker, elastic, glycogen)

Q

how are myometrial contractions made more forceful

A

prostaglandins and oxytocin (ferguson reflex, +ve feedback)

66
Q

describe baby expulsion

A

starts longitudinally + cephalic > uterus contracts and head flexes and rotates > vag and perineum stretch due to head (risk tear) > head delivers > shoulders rotate and deliver > rest follows

Q

how does uterus prevent post partum hemorrhage. what can be given to help

A

uterus clamps down. oxytocin given.
