Q

Graffian follicle

A
  • contains secondary oocyte

- cumulus oophorus attaches oocyte to wall of follicle

16
Q

Granulosa cells

A
  • surround oocyte, connected by gap junctions

- produce large amounts of cAMP which is used to arrest primary oocyte at prophase I

17
Q

Delta5-pathway

A
  • cholesterol converted into androstenedione in thecal cells–>stimulated by LH
  • androstenedione converted to estradiol in granulosa cells–>stimulated by FSH
18
Q

Delta4 Pathway

A
  • happens in corpus luteum in luteal cells

- progesterone produced and some estradiol

19
Q

Luteal phase

A

-always lasts14 days

20
Q

Follicular phase

A
  • length of phase varies

- time influenced by stress, genetics, etc

21
Q

Progesterone

A

-promotes growth of breast glands and endometrium

22
Q

Suspensory ligaments of Cooper

A

-gives breast shape

23
Q

Steridogenesis Stimulating Hormone(STP)

A
  • produced by Sertoli cells

- it is a protein that stimulates production of testosterone by the leydig cells

24
Q

LH

A

-stimulates production of testosterone by leydig cells

25
Q

FSH

A

-stimulates sperm production by Sertoli cells

26
Q

Inhibin

A
  • produced by Sertoli cells when there is too much sperm

- inhibits production of FSH
