Q

DESCRIBE THE SYNTHESIS OF OESTROGEN REGARDING THE GRANULOSA AND THECAL CELLS

A

WITHIN BOTH CELLS CHOLESTEROL IS CONVERTED INTO PROGESTERONE.
THE GRANULOSA CELLS CANNOT CONVERT PROGESTERONE INTO ANDROGENS SO THEY SEND THEIR PROGESTERONE TO THE THECAL CELLS WHERE ANDROGENS ARE CREATED. THE THECAL CELLS THEN SEND THE ANDROGENS TO THE GRANULOSA CELLS WHERE AROMATASE HELPS TO CONVERT ANDROGENS TO OESTROGENS
