Question 6

Answer 6

Identify broad ligament, ovary, fimbriae of uterine tube, and fundus of uterus.

Question 7

Answer 7

Identify uterus, cervix, vaginal orifice, clitoris, labia majora, urethral orifice, labia minora

Question 8

Answer 8

Primary Oocyte: looks like a water balloon with the knot facing you. Notice primordial follicle: primary oocyte is surrounded by a single, flat layer of cells.

Question 9

Answer 9

Primary follicle: cell layer increases in size in primary oocyte and so a primary follicle is a primary oocyte surrounded by >1 layer of cells. Look for space between oocyte and cells (zona pellucida).

Question 10

Answer 10

Secondary follicle: adds fluid filled vescles (look a bit disorganized) inside and thecal cells outside entire structure; zona pllucida still surrounds the oocyte.

Question 11

Answer 11

Mature/Graafian follicle: one clean vesicle. Larger, note the oocyte gravitates toward one side. Last stage before ovulation.

Question 12

Identify the corpus luteum. What does it do?

Identify the corpus albicans.

Answer 12

Secretes progesterone and some estrogen; If pregnancy occurs, it enlarges, otherwise it degenerates after 10-12 days. It is the next step of the follicle after ovulation. Corpus albicans is the last follicular stage before next cycle.

Question 13

What are the stages of follicular maturation?

Answer 13

1. Primary oocyte
2. Primary follicle
3. Secondary follicle
4. Mature follicle (Graafian follicle)
5. Ovulation
6. Corpus luteum
7. Corpus albicans

Question 14

Identify the mentrual phase, proliferative phase, and secretory phase. When does ovulation occur?

Answer 14

Ovulation occurs between the proliferative and secretory phases.

Question 15

During which phase does the endometrium layer slough off due to decreased progesterone secretion?

Answer 15

Menstrual phase

Question 16

During which phase does estrogen secretion promote proliferation of the endometrial basal layer? This phase ends in ovulation.

Answer 16

Proliferative phase

Question 17

During which phase is there a large increase in progesterone? This leads to greater endometrial thickness and occurs after ovulation.

Answer 17

Secretory phase
