Q

Follicles that are formed during fetal life are called ______ follicles.

A

PRIMORDIAL

17
Q
  • activate sperm cells during the fertilization
  • It will harden once a sperm cell passes through
  • is only destroyed by human sperm cells.
A

Zona pellucida

18
Q

Within Secondary follicles, spaces appear between the granulosa cells as the cells secrete follicular fluid called _____

A

ANTRUM

19
Q
  • Accumulates more fluid which causes it to expand
    o Forms bulge at the ovary surface
    o Follicular cells stop dividing at this stage
A

GRAAFIAN FOLLICLE

20
Q
  • granulosa cells that directly surround the oocyte
    • accompanies the oocyte after ovulation
A

Corona radiata

21
Q

forms the hillock that provide support to the egg cell

A

Cumulus oophorus

22
Q

the distal 3rd, funnel- shaped and its margins have numerous tapering fringe-like processes called _____, which will create a suctioning motion to capture the egg.

A

Infundibulum, fimbriae

23
Q

• Site of fertilization
• Most common site of ectopic pregnancy because of its length

A

AMPULLA

24
Q

Lined by simple ciliated columnar with nonciliated secretory or peg cells

A

OVIDUCT

25
Q

cells that are not ciliated within the fallopian tube

A

PEG CELLS

26
Q

the upper 2/3 that is sloughed off during
menstruation (LIGHTER STAINING)

A

Functionalis

27
Q

a deeper portion that remains and regenerates THIS HAS DARKER STAINING

A

Basalis

28
Q

• Coincides with estrogen secretion
• Beginning at the end of menstrual flow and
continuing for 12-14 days
• Endometrial glands are straight and narrow

A

PROLIFERATIVE PHASE

29
Q

• Coincides with progesterone secretion
• Endometrium further thickens but this is mainly due to edema of the stroma and accumulation of secretion in the glands
• Glands continue to grow becoming tortuous and sacculated

A

SECRETORY PHASE

30
Q

• Period of degeneration associated with rapid decline in stimulation of the endometrium by ovarian hormones
• Occur about 2 weeks after ovulation
• Endometrium is denuded of surface epithelium; glands collapsed and short

A

MENSTRUAL PHASE

stratified squamous nonkeratinized

32
Q

simple columnar epithelium

33

  • common site for the development of cervical cancer
  • The area between the cervical canal and external os is called the ________
A

transformation zone

34
Q

The peak level of estrogen causes LH to surge which is called
