nurtures and protects oocyte. contains growth factors, progesterone, hylauronic acid, estrogen. fluid secreted by granulosa cells.

Question 2

mucosa of endometrium?

Answer 2

simple columnar with numerous tubular uterine glands in lamina propria

Question 3

stratum functionale?

Answer 3

functional layer, thickest, sloughed off during menstruation

Question 4

stratum basale?

Answer 4

source of regeneration for stratum functionale

Question 5

straight arteries of endometrium

Answer 5

supply stratum basale

Question 6

spiral arteries of endometrium

Answer 6

supply stratum functionale

Question 7

function of female oviduct?

Answer 7

transport ovum from ovary to uterus

Question 8

parts of female oviduct?

Answer 8

infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, uterine part

Question 9

infundibulum of oviduct?

Answer 9

funnel with fimbriae

Question 10

ampulla of oviduct?

Answer 10

where fertilization occurs

Question 11

isthumus of oviduct?

Answer 11

narrow part

Question 12

uterine part of female oviduct?

Answer 12

opens to uterine cavity

Question 13

mucosa of female oviduct?

Answer 13

simple columnar ciliated cells in mucosa and peg cells

Question 14

peg cells function?

Answer 14

bathe sperm and ovum

Question 15

zona pellucida?

Answer 15

ZP proteins help sperm bind, oocyte secretes proteins forming a coat with ZP proteins

Question 16

female transition zone?

Answer 16

point where endo and ecto cervix meet with abrupt change of epithelium. CERVICAL CANCERS!

Question 17

primordial follicle formation?

Answer 17

primary oocyte surrounded by flattened squamous follicular cells form ovarian follicle. dominant follicle depends on complex hormonal balances of FSH and estrogen, then primordial follicle becomes granulosa resulting in primary follicle

Question 18

leydig cells

Answer 18

develop during puberty. secrete testosterone in testes

Question 19

testosterone

Answer 19

steroid hormone that promotes sperm production and development of secondary male sex characteristics. production triggered by pituitary LH

Question 20

what are the seminal vesicles?

Answer 20

exocrine glands consisting of highly folded, tortuous tubes.

Question 21

what does seminal fluid contain?

Answer 21

fructose for metabolic substrate for sperm, prostoglandins to increase sperm motility in female reproductive tract, and fibrinogen to allow semen to coagulate

Question 22

mucosa of seminal vesicles?

Answer 22

psuedostratified columnar epithelium

Question 23

sertoli cells

Answer 23

large phagocytic columnar cells that are non dividing. form blood testis barrier, produces androgen binding protein, secrete fluid to carry sperm along tubules. exist in germinal epithelium of seminiferous vesicle

Question 24

blood testis barrier

Answer 24

formed by sertoli cells. limits self androgen exposure to prevent autoimmune attack.

Question 25

what does androgen binding protein do in sertoli cells?

Answer 25

concentrates testosterone

Question 26

spermiogenesis

Answer 26

final physical differentiation process of spermatogenic cells in germinal epithelium. no cell division. spermatids condense.

Question 27

what is formed when spermatids condense?

Answer 27

acrosome, midpiece, flagellum

Question 28

acrosome

Answer 28

head, teardrop shape

Question 29

midpiece

Answer 29

mitochondria
