8
Q

A
occurs in epididymis
9
Q
female reproductive process
A
begins in ovary
- primordial oocyte
- Primary oocyte [follicular cells (nourish) develop]
- Secondary oocyte [FC into Granular, theca cell develop]
- tertiary oocyte [cells thicken wall]
- atresia [eggs die]
or GnRH stims anterior pituitary to release FSH and mature tertiary oocyte.
