Q

After meiosis how many of the new cells are functional in females?

A

There is only 1 new functional cell.. the functional secondary oocyte. the goal is to produce one large cell that can be fertilized and then undergo many divisions on its trip to the uterus.

Graafian follicle

86
Q

What are the steps of ovulation?

A
  1. the follicle bursts and the secondary oocyte is released.
  2. it goes into the uterine tube, with the help of the fimbriae it creates a current.
  3. In the ovary the empty follicle fills it with corpus luteum which secretes progesterone and some estrogen.
  4. If sperm it present it can fertilized, where corpus letup will stay and continue producing progesterone.
  5. If not corpus leteum is replaced by corpus albicans
87
Q

What maintains early pregnancy?

A

corpus luteum

88
Q

What hormones do the ovaries make during puberty?

A

Estrogen and progesterone

89
Q

What secretes estrogen?

A

Follicle cells

90
Q

How much of each hormone does corpus luteum secrete?

A

large amounts of progesterone but small amounts of estrogen

91
Q

What is estradiol?

A

A form of estrogen that promotes the maturation of oocytes and develops the secondary sex characteristics which causes feminizing effects

92
Q
A
93
Q

What are the three effects of corpus leteum?

A

establishment of periods, maintains pregnancy, prepare boobs for milk and placenta will take over during pregnancy

94

if the fertilized egg is implanted in the tube and not the uterus

99

upside down pear shape with fundus (dome shape), body (central region), and cervix ( neck that opens into the vagina)

101
Q
A
102
