___ ___ and ___ ___ develop into larger follicles

fetal development
primordial follicles and primary oocytes

41

Ovarian cycle- development of ovarian follicles

42
Q

how do oogenesis and ovarian cycle relate?

oogonia (stem cells) which will produce primary oocytes -> secondary oocytes
the ovarian cycles is the maturation of the follicles/oocytes
they occur simultaneously

43
Q

when do primary oocytes mature into secondary? before that what stage did it stop at?

A

@ puberty when FSH from pituitary initiates ovarian cycle
its at prophase I until puberty

44
Q

Ovarian cycle

A

Follicular phase
started by FSH primary -> secondary -> grafian follicles
Ovulation (technically not a phase )
graf follicle bulges out of ovarian wall, releasing estrogen and increase in LH . fimbrae picks up egg
Luteal Phase
ruptured follicle becomes corpus luteum due to LH. this will secrete estrogen and progesterone, inhibiting FSH and LH
if not fertilized, luteum turns into c.albicans dropping estrogen, progesterone and inhibit levels

45
Q

histology of tubes

A

ciliated and nonciliated columnar cells \
smooth muscle
combination of this moves oocyte

46
Q

after __ - __ hours fertilization occurs after ovulation
happens in the ___ of tubes

A

12-24 hours
ampulla

47
Q

name three main regions of uterus

A

fundus, body, cervix

48
Q

@ entrance of cervical canal, theres ___ ___, which leads to canal , then theres the ___ ___ deep in the body of uterus

A

external os
internal os

49
Q

what plugs the cervical canal and protects it from bacteria

A

mucous

50
Q

layers of uterus

A

endometrium -nourishes the egg by growing in thickness, site of implantation
myometrium- thick layer of smooth muscle that protects embryo , under ANS and oxytocin control
perimetrium- thick connective tissue protects uterus

51
Q

endometrium has __ ____ epithelium ,__ and __ layer , and ___ glands

A

simple columnar , functional and basal, uterine

52
Q

functional vs basal lyer

A

grows/sheds during uterine cycle lines uterus, grows new blood vessels, when it sheds its because the vessels constrict leaving no nutrients.
basal is next myometrium

53
Q

Uterine cycle

A

Menstrual phase -shedding of endometrium due to low levels of pro and estrogerone, contrisction of vessels . 1-7 days ,pain due to myometrium
proliferative-inc levels of estrogen stimulates endometrial lining to grow, preparing for next implantation
secretory phase- pro and estrogen stimulate endometrial glands to grow , read for implantation, endometrium at thickest

54
Q

vagina

A

hold spermatozoa before it reaches uterus
passageway for elimination
has bacteria that create acidity reducing growth of bad bacteria and reduces sperm motility
stratified squamous epithelium
lamina propia is thick and elastic

56
Q

Areola has glands that are associated with

A

body odor

57
Q

mammary glands

A

divided into lobules which produce milk due to hormones

58
Q

list flow of milk

A

lobes - milk- lactiferous ducts - becomes lactiferous sinus - nipple

secreted by follicle and luteum

70
Q
