89
Q

What causes ovulation

A

High levels of estrogen in the preovulatory phase exert a postive feedback for LH and GnRH and cause ovulation

90
Q

In the post ovulatory phase, LH stimulates the corpus luteum to secrete.

A

Progesterone
Estrogen
Inhibin
Relaxin

91
Q

A

Round
Cardinal
Uterosacral

(Broad covers all three)

94
Q

What is a Grafiaan follicle

A

aka vesicular follicle

Large, fluid filled follicle that is ready to rupture

-expels the secondary oocyte (ovulation)

95
Q

What are the borders of the perineum

A

Anterior portion is the pubic symphysis

Lateral portions are the ischial tuberosities

Coccyx is the posterior portion

96
Q

High levels of progesterone inhibit…

A

GnRH

97
Q

When the granulosa cells thicken around the primary follicle, what do they secrete

A

Estrogen, that starts to file the inside of the follicle

98
Q

What hormone secretion increases as the size of the dominant follicle increases

A

Estrogen

99
Q

What happens to bone density as estrogen decreases

A

Mineral density of bones decreases

100
Q

Where does blood leaving the uterus drain into

A

Uterine veins, draining into the internal iliac veins

101
Q

What part of the uterus wall is part of the visceral peritoneum

A

The perimetrium

102
Q

When fragile columnar cells get exposed to the acidic vaginal environment what happens

A

Metaplasia occurs, forming a new squamocolomanr junction

103
Q

What does teh corpus luteum degenerate into

A

Scar tissue called the corpus albicans

104
Q

After ovulation, what happens to the Graafian follicle

A

It collapses

Basements membrane between the theca interna and granulosa cells break down, becomes the corpus luteum

105
Q

In relation to Menses, what does estrogen do

A 
Promotes development and maintenance of: 
Reproductive structures 
Breasts 
2* sex characteristics 
Voice pitch 
Weight distribution 
Broad Pelvis 
Pattern of hair growth 
Increases protein anabolism 
Lowers blood cholesterol 
Moderate levels of estrogen inhibit release of GnRH and FSH/LH
106
Q

When the sperm penetrates the cytoplasm of the ovum, what happens?

A

This causes tow pronuclie to from and fuse, restoring the diploide chromosome number and forms the ZYGOTE

107
Q

When do the predatory changes of the post ovulatory phase peak..

A

1 week after ovulation

To prepare the arrival of the zygote or secondary oocyte

108
Q

What are the two cell types of the cervix

A

Ectocervix- stratified squamous epithelium

Endocervix- tall columnar epithelium

109
Q

At what point will a female have generated all the primordial follicles she will ever have

A

At mid gestation

110
Q

What is the larger haploid cell called

A

Secondary oocyte.

111
Q

During the preovulatory phase, what happens to the endometrium

A

Estrogen stimulates the repair of the endometrium , thickening it in size to about 4-10 mm.

Cells of the stratum básalis undergo mitosis and produce the stratum functionalis

112
Q

What does the corona radiata do

A

Convert into cumulus-granulosa cells that attach tot he oocyte

Secrete progesterone, thought to attract spree to the oocyte

113
Q

Primordial follicles become what after stimulation of FSH/ LH

A

Primary Follicles

114
Q

What layer of the uterus is shed each month during menstration

A

The stratum functional is later of the endometrium

115
Q

How many chromosomes are in Oogonia ?

A

2n (46 chromosomes)

116
Q

Under the influence of FSH, granulosa cells….

A

Multiply into layers, forming primary and secondary follicles

117
Q

What all does the vulva include

A

The Mons pubis

Labia Majora and Minora

118
Q

What is the squamocolumnar junction

A

Where the stratified squamous and columnar epithelium of the cervix meet

119
Q

What are the skenes glands

A

Paraurethral Glands

Lateral to the urethral orifice
Secrete mucous
Embedded in the wall of the urethra

120
Q

In relation to menses, what does relaxin do. ?

A

Produced by the corpus luteum each month

Relaxes the uterus by inhibiting contractions

Helps increase flexibility of pubic symphysis and help dilate cervix during labor

121
Q

In the role of menses, what does progesterone do’?

A

Secreted mainly by the cells of the corpus luteum And a small portion by the corona radiata
(surrounds the ovulated oocyte)

122
Q

Just before ovulation of the mature follicle, the diploid primary oocyte completes…

A

Meiosis I, producing two haploid cells of UNEQUAL size

Each has 23 chromosomes
