FSH cells act on
Sertoli cells
Primary Sex Characteristics
Internal sexual organs and external genetilia, which we learned are differentiated to male during embryonic development by androgens
Secondary Sex characteristics by Androgen
Body shape, Facial and body hair growth, muscular development
What kind of hormones are androgens
Anabolic hormones and promote protein synthesis
Female Reproduction
A physiological process that occurs in a cyclical fashion
External genetilia of female is known as
Vulva or pudendum
Vagina leads to
Uterus
3 layers of uterus
Perimetrium
Myometrium
Endometrium
Fallopian tube
Passageway to Ovaries (Sperm goes through here)
What is fimbrae and what does it do
Ensures egg released from ovary enters fallopian tube
What do the ovaries produce
Eggs and Hormones
Follicle Development
5-7 million oogonia during fetal development
Primordial follicles are recruited each cycle (1 year complete maturation)
Then they become primary follicles
Then they become secondary follicle
Formation of Theca cells
FSH contributes to formation of follicles
True
with follicle what kind of oocyte is within it
Primary
When sperm are released from Sertoli cells, they are completely mature
False
