Q

in ovulation, the response from a surge of LH

A
  • oocyte in mature follie completes first meiotic division, arrested in metaphase II
  • Granulosa cells produce prostaglandins/hyaluronan, ovarian wall weaks
  • mature follicle rupture and releases ovum together with coronaradiata

23
Q

theca lutein cells secrete

A

androgens and progesterone

24
Q

After 14 days of absence of pregnancy, the corpus luteum

A

degenerates

25
Q

No LH

A

no pregnancy

26
Q

Decreased progesterone

A

leads to menstruation

27
Q

dense connective scar

A

corpus albicans

28
Q

follicles thatfail to mature, die via

A

atresia

29
Q

Fimbriae

A

swepts ovum into oviduct

30
Q

Oviduct

A
  • 3 layered tube to provide environment for fertilization and groeth
  • Folded mucosa, muscularis, serosa
31
Q

Epithelium contains what type of cells

A
  • Ciliated cells (beat towards uterus)

- Peg

32
Q

What are Peg cells

A

They secrete factors that activate sperm and provide nutrition and protection for ovum or zygote

33
Q

Where does fertilization usually occur

A

in the ampulla

34
Q

What the endometrium composed of in the uterus

A

Functionalis and Basalis

35
Q

What does the functionalis layer do

A

it sheds during menstruation

36
Q

What does the Basalis layer do

A

remains after menstruation and contains bases of glands

37
Q

What is the functionalis supplied by

A

coiled arteries that are progesterone sensitive

38
Q

What is the proliferative stage stimulated by

A

estrogen

39
Q

What sitmulates the epithelial cells of the corpus luteum

A

progesterone

40
Q

Epithelium of endocerix at birth

A

stratified squamous non-keratinized

41
Q

at the transformation zone, what is happening

A

columnar epithelium in the endocervix is being replaced by stratified squamous epithelium from the ectocervix

42
Q

What cause epithelial cells to synthesize glycogen in the vagina

A

estrogen

43
Q

what role do sertoli cells have

A

physically and metabolically suport developing sperm

form blood-testes barrier

44
Q

What cell produces sperm

A

spermatogenic cells

45
Q

what cells produce androgens

A

leydig cells

46
Q

what is the epididymis lined with

A

pseudostratified columnar epithelium

47
Q

where does sperm undergo final maturation

A

epididymis

48
