Unit 3 Flashcards
Process of cocyte formation
o0genesis
Goal of oogenesis
Produce egg w/ massive amount of cytoplasm
His the release of mature egg from the ovary
Ovulation
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) from yolk
sac endoderm migrate to and colonize
the genital ridge (developing ovary)
Then PGCs differentiate to oogonia
Then - Diploid oogonia undergo mitosis prior
to or shortly after parturition
Embryogenesis
Oogonia are called – when they undergo meiosis
Primary oocytes
At birth, all oocytes are arrested in -_ until –
Prophase of meiosis I
Ovulation.
Selected follicles grow in size and develop larger antral spaces at….
Sexual maturity
2 bodies of primary oocyte
Secondary oocyte and 1st polar body
Chromosome number is reduced from diploid to haploid in
Folliculogenesis
Meiosis I is completed after ovulation in what animal
Horse, dog
After ovulation, meiosis ii in secondary oocystes halts at – until fertilization
Metaphase Il
In fetus,- begins
Meiosis I
Donny childhood, –’ are inactive
Primary
During puberty – divide
primary oocytes
During fertilization, sperm enters –
Secondary oocyte
Consists of a primary oocyte and a
single layer of flattened follicular cells
Primordial follicle
Consists of a primary oocyte with a single layer
of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells
Primary follicle
-Consists of several layers of cuboidal/columnar follicular
cells, (membrana granulosa) which begin to secrete follicular fluid
-Secondary-vesicular follicle: presence of pockets of follicular fluid within the membrana granulosa
Secondary follicle
Death of a follicle at any stage in its development
Follicular atresia
- A ruptured graafian follicle containing
a blood clot that is absorbed as the cells
lining the follicle form the corpus luteum
Corpus haemorarghicum
Yellow endocrine body formed at the site of
a ruptured ovarian follicle immediately after
ovulation
Corpus luteum
White fibrous scar tissue formed after the
involution anc
regression of the corpus
luteum
Corpus albicans
Yellow endocrine body formed at the site of
a ruptured ovarian follicle immediately after,
ovulation
Corpus luteum
Glycoprotein membrane surrounding the
plasma membrane of an oocyte
Zona pellucida
Cuboidal cells that form a barrier around
developing oocyte follicles within the
ovary
Granulosa cells
granulosa cell layer adjacent to
zona
pellucida
- Innermost layer of cumulus oophorus
Supply vital proteins to the oocyte
Corona radiata
-Cluster of cells around the oocyte
Coordinates with follicular development
and oocyte maturation
- Penetrated by spermatozoa during fertilization
Cumulus oophorus
Formed in growing secondary follicle
Theca cells
Part of a follicle that provides structural support
Theca cells
Part of a follicle that produce androgens in the presence of lh w/ are converted to E2 by Fsh
Theca cell,
Becomes small lutein cells and produce P4
after ovulation in CL
Theca cell
Highly selective process
Few follicle attain dominant status, the rest undergo atresia
Ovarian folliculogenesis
Have 2 or 3 sequential waves of follicular development
Cow
What animal
Waves of follicular growth & estradiol production
occur q10days during the breeding season
Mare
In mare, Cl regresses around day
14-17
In what animal is follicles continuously grow during the estrous cycle
Sow
There is no appearance of dominant follicles in what animal
Sow
In sow, significant growth of selected follicle our on days - of estrus cycle
14-17
Type of follicle that have much higher levels of estradió in follicular fluid
Dominant follicle
GranuIosa calls of dominant follicle produces more
Estradiol
In ovulation, Fsh stimulates — to start again in preovulatory oocyte
— surge causes increase in follicular fluid: follicle swells and makes granulosa cells convert to progesterone production
Lh
Thecal layers become – in ovulation
Edematous
What happens in granulosa calls during ovulation?
Dissociate
As follicle increases in size, estradiol level
Increases
In the absence of progesterone what will happen?
Estradiol level increases and causes lh surge then leads to ovulation
Induced ovulator animals
Rabbit, cat, camel
Lh surge induced by
Intromission
Example of spontaneous ovulator
Farm animals and humans
