Reproductive System Flashcards
Define metaphase
Chromys line up alone equator of the cell
Define pro phase
Chromys become visible, nuclear membrane disappears
Define anaphase
Chromys split at the centromere and pull to opposite ends of the cell to create a spindle finer
Define telophase
Chromys reform chromatin and nuclear membrane recreates
What are the steps of meiosis
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telaphase
Define spermatogonia
Present at birth and undergo meiosis throughout life
Define oogonia
These are no longer present at birth for women
What 2 cells go under meiosis 1 in male/female
Primary spermatocyte/oocyte
Both are diploid
What’s spermiogenesis
Spermatids undergo changes after several weeks after meiosis
What is spermatogenesis
Meiosis + spermiogenesis
What is oogenesis
Meiosis(only competes if egg is fertilized)
Define broad ligament
Connects fallopian tubes, uterus and ovaries
Define ovarian ligaments
Connects the ovary to the uterus
What epithelium is in primordial follicles
Simple squamous
What cells are included in primary follicles? What epithelium is here?
Granulosa cells
Cuboidal epithelium
Whats the space that is now included in a secondary follicle
The antrum
What is the largest follicle called?
Graafian follicle or tertiary
What is the corona radiata
Where secondary oocyte and geanulosa cells fuse together
Primordial follicles stimulate after puberty due to what hormones
Estrogen and progesterone
Major hormone made by all follicles but the primordial?
FSH
3 phases in the ovarian cycle
Follicular
Ovulation
Luteal phas
What days are the follicular phase?
What hormone is responsible?
Day 1-13
FSH
Ovulation occurs on what day?
Bc what hormone?
Day 14
Increased LH
What hormone causes LH increased
Estrogen
What days are the luteal phase?
Day 15-28
