25
Q

What is Thelarche?

A

The earliest set of puberty; onset of breast development

26
Q

What is Pubarche?

A

Appearance of pubic and axillary hair

27
Q

What is menarche?

A

First menstrual period; they first few menstrual cycles are anovulatory

28
Q

What does Estradiol do?

A

Stimulates many changes in puberty; vaginal metaplasia, growth of ovaries and secondary sex organs, and stimulates growth hormones secretion

29
Q

What does progesterone do?

A

Primarily acts on the uterus preparing it for possible pregnancy in the second half of the menstrual cycle

30
Q

What does estrogen and progesterone do?

A

They suppress FSH and LH secretion through negative feedback

31
Q

What does Inhibin do?

A

Selectively suppresses FSH secretion

32
Q

What is climacteric?

A

Midlife change in hormone secretion; accompanied by menopause

33
Q

What is hormone replacement therapy?

A

Low doses of estrogen and progesterone to relieve menopause

34
Q

What is menopause and when does it happen?

A

Cessation of menstrual cycles and happens between ages of 45 and 55

35
Q

What is the ovarian cycle?

A

Events in ovaries

36
Q

What is the menstrual cycle?

A

Parallel changes in uterus

37
Q

What is oogenesis?

A

Egg production; produces haploid gametes by means of meiosis

38
Q

What do primordial follicles consist of?

A

Primary oocyte surrounded by single layer of squamous follicular cells

39
Q

What do primary follicles consist of?

A

Larger secondary oocytes and surrounding layer of cuboidal follicular cells

40
Q

What do secondary follicles consist of?

A

Larger oocytes and follicular cells with a zona pellucida and theca folliculi

41
Q

What is the zona pellucida?

A

Layer of glycoprotein gel secreted by granulosa cells around the oocyte

42
Q

What is the theca folliculi?

A

Connective tissue around the granulosa cells condenses to form fibrous husk

43
Q

What happens during tertiary follicles?

A

The layers merge into a signal antrum; consist of cumulus oophorus and corna radiata

44
Q

What is the cumulus oophorus?

A

A mound of granulosa cells on one side of the antrum that covers the oocyte and secures it to the follicular wall

45
Q

What is the corona radiata?

A

Innermost layer of cells in the cumulus surrounding zona pellucida and oocyte

46
Q

What are mature follicles?

A

About 20 days before ovulation, one follicle becomes dominant and holds all the FSH

47
Q

What are the phases of the sexual cycle?

A

Follicular phase, ovulation, then luteal phase

48
Q

When is the follicular phase?

A

Beginning of menstruation until ovulation

49
Q

What are the hormones during the follicular phase?

A

FSH stimulates follicles to grow and secrete estradiol

50
Q

When is ovulation and what happens?

A

Around day 14 and it is the rupture of the mature follicles and releases of its egg and attendant cells

51
Q

What happens with hormones during ovulation?

A

Estradiol stimulates a surge of LH and lesser spike of FSH

52
Q

What happens during luteal phase and when is it?

A

Follicle rupture it collapses and bleeds into antrum and the ovulated follicle becomes a corpus luteum it is just after ovulation

53
Q

What causes the ruptured follicle to corpus luteum?

A

LH

54
Q

What is the menstrual cycle?

A

Buildup of endometrium during most of the sexual cycle and it breaks down

55
Q

What are the phases of the menstrual cycle?

A

Proliferative phase, secretory phase, premenstrual phase, and menstrual phase

56
Q

What happens during the proliferative phase?

A

Rebuilding the endometrium and the new follicles secrete estrogen

57
Q

What does the secretion of estrogen do?

A

It stimulates endometrial cells to produce progesterone receptors

58
Q

What happens during the secretory phase?

A

The endometrium thickens more in response to progesterone from corpus luteum; the endometrial glands secrete glycogen

59
Q

What happens during the premenstrual phase?

A

Period of endometrial degeneration it causes spasmodic contraction and tissue necrosis

60
Q

What happens during the menstrual phase?

A

Discharge of menstrual fluid from the vagina
