Reproduction Flashcards
What are 2 ducts appear?
Mullerian and Wolffian
What causes female development?
Absence SRY gene- female
What would occur if SRY gene:
Present
Not present
Present- male
Not present- female
Which duct male?
Wolffian
Which duct female?
Mullerian
What forms broad ligament?
Mullerian ligament
What stimulates development of external genitalia?
Oestrogen
What does:
Genital tubercle
Urethral folds
Genital swellings
form?
Genital tubercle- clitoris
Urethral folds- labia minora
Genital swellings- labia majora
What forms:
Clitoris
Labia minora
Labia majora
Genital tubercle- clitoris
Urethral folds- labia minora
Genital swellings- labia majora
Function GnRH?
Where released?
Posterior pituitary
Induce secretion FSH and LH from anterior pituitary
Function FSH? (3)
Stimulate development follicles
Increase oestrogen secretion
Increase inhibin secretion from granulosa cells
What synthesises LH and FSH?
Anterior pituitary gonadotrophs
Function LH?
Stimulate theca cells produce androgens- converted oestrogen by granulosa- thicken endometrium
Stimulate ovulation
Conversion Graafian follicle into coprus luteum- produces progesterone
What stimulates ovulation?
Surge LH
What do theca cells produce?
Androgens
What does Graafian follicle turn into?
Corpus luteum
Define proliferative phase?
6-14
Growth ovarian follicle
Define luteal phase?
16-28
Endometrium thickens
When is ovulation?
Day 14
Lack progesterone
Shet endometrium
State diff phases?
Proliferative-6-14- growth ovarian follicles
Ovulation- 14
Luteal- 16-28- endometrium thickens
Day 28/1- endometrium discarded
Is mucus acid or alkaline?
Alkaline
Explain process fertilisation?
0- Fertilisation- sperm and egg fuse and form zygote
1- zygote start travel fallopian tube
2- cleavage- first mitotic division
3- second mitotic division
4- compaction- third mitotic division- 16 cell morula
5-6- Morula differentiate to blastocyst
Blastocyst- outer trophoblast, blastocyst cavity
5-6- Zona pellucida thins and cavity expands
7- hatching- blastocyst implants into endometrium
What is first, second and third mitotic division called?
Day 2- cleavage
Day 3- second
Day 4- compaction
What does compaction form?
Morula
How many cells in morula?
16
What comes first morula or blastocyst?
Morula- 16
Blastocyst
What is structure blastocyst?
Outer trophoblast
Blastocyst cavity
Label
What is it
Blastocyst
Function zona pellucida?
Responsible for species-restricted binding of sperm to unfertilized eggs
Preventing sperm from binding to fertilized eggs
Name 2 types contraception?
Combined oral contraceptive pill
Progesterone only pill
How does combined oral contraceptive pill work?
Surpress FSH and LH
Low FSH- inhibit follicular development- prevent increase oestrogen
Progesterone causes cervical mucous thicken
No implantation
Decreased production glycogen blastocyst survive
How does progesterone only pill work?
Thicken mucous continuously
Take continuous 28 days
Inhibit ovulation
Varying degrees follicular development dependent dosage
What does implantable rod or IUD do?
Release progesterone steady rate
