A

like primary spermatocytes they are 2n and arrested in prphase 1; done by birth

85
Q

Secondary Oocyte

A

during a womans period, one primary oocyte will complete meiosis 1 and produce this and a polar body

arrested at metaphase 2 until fertilization

86
Q

Menarche

A

first menstrual cycle

87
Q

Polar body

occurs from unequal cytokenesis where the secondary oocyte has all the cytoplasm and the polar body has minimal

a second is formed after mature ovum is made from Meiosis 2

92
Q

Prior to puberty for females the hypothalamus….

A

restricts production of GnRH (gonadtropin-releasing hormone)

93
Q

During puberty for females the hypothalamus_ and the anterior pituitary _

A

releases GnRH to stimulate anterior pituitary

releases FSH and LH (follicle stimulating and lutenizin hormone)

94
Q

A

testosterone

negatively feedbacks to hypothalamous/AP to limit levles

95
Q

caused by testosterones leading to axillary hair, growth, deep voices

98
Q

FSH in women

A

cause estrogens to be secreted from ovaries

99
Q

Estrogen in Females

A

leads to secondary characteristics and maintains demale reproductive system

in embryo it stimulates development of reproductive tract

in adult it thickens lining of the uterus (endometrium)

100
Q

Progesterone

A

secreted by corpus luteum in response to LH; at the end of first trimester of pregnancy it is supplied by the placenta

development and maintenance of endometrium

101
Q

Corpus Luteum

A

remanent follicle left after ovulation

102
Q

Menstrual Cycle

A

growing/shedding of uterus lining from menarche to menopause with cyclic pattern of estrogen and progesterone levels

103
Q
  1. Follicular Phase
A

occurs when menstrual flow begins,

GnRH secretion from hypothalamus increases in response to decreased estrogen/progesterone to increase FSH and LH

they then develop the ovarian follicles, which produce estrogen to inhibit GnRH, FSH and LH and regrow the endometrial lining

104
Q

Menstrual Flow

A

shedding of uterine lining of previous cycle

105
Q
  1. Ovulation
A

Estrogen from follicles induce positive feedback to increase GnRH, LH and FSH

LH surge results to the release of ovum into abdominal cavity

106
Q
  1. Luteal Phase
A

LH causes ruptured follicle to form corps leuteum and secrete progesterone

progesterone and estrogen levels are high to cause negative feedback on GnRH, FSH, LH to prevent ovulation of more eggs

107
Q

4a. Menstruation

A

if implantation doesn’t occur, corpus leuteum loses stimulation from LH, progesterone dies down and uterine lining is shed

decrease in estrogen/progesterone allows for GnRH activation to restart cycle

108
Q

4b. Pregnancy

A

if fertilization occurs, zygote develops into blastocyte and implants in uterine lining

hCG is secreted to maintain the corpus luteum thereby keeping uterine lining as estrogen and progesterone levels are high and inhibit GnRH

in second trimester hCG dies off as placenta has grown to supply its own estrogen/progesterone

109
Q

hCG

A

human chroionic gonadotropin used to help maintain corpus luteum, estrogen and progesterone to keep lining

110
Q

5.Menopause

A

ovarian and endometrium atrophy as FSH and LH don’t stimulate thereby decreases estrogen/progesterone due to age

FSH and LH are high in blood stream because estrogen/progesterone cannot inhibit

111
Q
