Q

connective tissue of the ovary

A

tunica albuginea

120
Q

cycle for women is typically

121
Q

what is day one of your menstrual cycle

A

the first day you’re bleeding (shedding of the endometrial lining of the uterus)

122
Q

the first half of your cycle or first 14 days

A

is geared to developing the oocyte by creating a primary follicle

123
Q

the mature phase of a follicle is known as

A

a vesicular or graphean follicle

124
Q

day 12-14 clear liquid discharge is released from

A

the vesicular follicle meaning you are fertile

125
Q

what is the name of the vesicular follicle’s outer lining

A

theca interna- contains the liquid known as discharge

126
Q

day 14 what happens the vesicular follicle

A

pops out the egg and then travels through the fallopian tube in hopes of meeting a sperm

127
Q

what hormone regulates egg production

A

estrogen
and
FSH (gonadotropic hormone)

128
Q

estrogen day 1-14 does what

129
Q

where does the egg hope to meet a sperm

A

in the fallopian tube

130
Q

where does fertilization occur

A

the fallopian or uterine tube, but the egg continues to travel and then embed in the endometrial lining

131
Q

what hormone causes the release of the egg

A

LH (lutinizing hormone) stimulates the ovary to release the egg

132
Q

what happens to the outer layer of the oocyte once it is released

A

the corpus luteum from day 15-28 secretes progesterone until it realizes its not prego… so it shrivels up and becomes corpus albucian

133
Q

what is progesterones job

A

help the body get ready for pregnancy

134
Q

symptoms of increased progesterone

A

bloated
heavy breast tissue
increased appetite

135
Q

what causes the onset of menstruation

A

the decrease in estrogen and progesterone

136
Q

oogenesis

A

formation of haploid ova in the ovary

137
Q

steps of oogensis

A
