Flashcards in HISTO LEC - FEMALE REPRO Deck (35):
1
not anatomically distinct as compared to the tunica albuginea in the testes
Tunica albuginea of ovary
2
flattened ovoid glands
OVARIES
3
peripheral zone of ovary; contains female gametes in various stages
cortex
4
central zone; w/ highly vascularized structure; with hilus cells(similar to Leydig cells)
medulla
5
medulla of ovary has what type of cells
hilus cells
6
primary oocyte + single layer of follicular cells
Primordial follicle
7
glycoprotein layer(between the oocyte & follicular cells)
Zona pelucida-
8
– occupied by stromal cells (around the zona granulosa)
Theca folliculi
9
- occupied by granulosa cells
Zona Granulosa
10
- forms follicular antrum (fluid):formed within the zona granulosa
Zona granulosa
11
: granulosa cells thickened around the oocyte
cumulus oophorus
12
type of follicle
Follicular antrum- big
Cumulus oophorus-diminishes
Corona radiata-surrounds the secondary oocyte
Graafian follicle
13
Post ovulatory follicles
1. corpus luteum
2. corpus albicantes
14
conducting ducts (3)
Fallopian tubes: salphinx, uterine tubes, oviducts
Uterus: pear shaped, thickest wall
Vagina:
15
meeting point of sperm cell and egg cell
ampulla
16
- interstitial; portion of the fallopian tube inside the uterus
intramural
17
cells of fallopian
ciliated, nonciliated, intercalated
18
morphologic variant of secretory cells
intercalated cells of fallopian tube
19
-most diverse layer of uterus
endometrium
20
stromal cells disintegrate; endometrial glands collapsed
Onset of menstruation
21
stroma is edematous
Proliferative phase
22
Opens into the vagina
cervix
23
bulk of the cervix
CT
24
little portion of cervix
smooth muscle
25
part of the cervix
- simple ciliated columnar epithelium
-Pap’s smear
Endocervix
26
erectile tissue in the external genitalia
Clitoris
27
bulk of mammary glands
adipose tissue
28
for catching the egg cell
fimbriae
29
narrowest or shortest portion of fallopian tube
isthmus
30
layer of the uterus that changes from day to day
endometrium
31
guards the uterus
cervix
32
counterpart of penis
clitoris
33
bulky portion of the external genitalia
mons pubis
34
opening with bartholin's glands
vaginal orifice
