26
Q

What is on outside of primary follicle

A

Cuboidal granulosa cells

27
Q

What is on outside secondary preantral follicle

A

Theca and Increased number of granulosa cells

28
Q

What are primary, secondary, tertiary follicles

A

Still primary oocyte

29
Q

What is within antrum

A

Storage of enzymes, hormones, growth factors and regulatory factors needed for oocyte maturation, ovulation and fertilization

30
Q

Females produce mature gametes in

A

Monthly cycles (avg 28 days; normal range 24-35 days)

31
Q

Why is it called menstrual cycle

A

Due to 3-7 days of bloody uterine discharge

32
Q

3 phases of ovarian cycle

A

Follicular phase, ovulation, luteal phase

33
Q

Follicular phase

A

Marked by follicular growth, most variable 10 days to 3 weeks
5-10 tertiary follicles make to menstrual cycle and continue to grow for 7 days
Day 7 get one dominant follicle make through to ovulation

34
Q

Ovulation

A

Once one or more follicles have ripened, ovary releases oocytes during ovulation

35
Q

Luteal phase

A

Post ovulatory phase
Ruptured follicle transforms to corpus luteum (yellow), named for yellow pigment and lipid deposits

36
Q

Corpus luteum

A

Secretes hormones
Ceases to function after 2 weeks

37
Q

what becomes corpus luteum

A

Rest of granulosa cells and theca cells

38
Q

Process of follicle growth

A

Numerous primordial follicles - primary follicles - secondary follicles - tertiary follicles - 5-10 grow (days 1-7) - atresia or one dominant follicle (day 7)

39
Q

How long from primordial follicles to tertiary follicles

A

~1 year

40
Q

Follicle contains primary oocyte until

A

16-24 hours before ovulation (LH surge)
First meiotic division

41
Q

When does ovulation occur

A

Day 14

42
Q

From what days does luteal phase happen

A

14-28

43
Q

Uterine cycle

A

Menses 1-7
Proliferative phase 7-14
Secretory phase 14-28

44
Q

Menses

A

Beginning of follicular phase in ovary corresponds with menstrual bleeding from uteri’s

45
Q

proliferative phase

A

Latter part of follicular phase, uterus adds new cells to endometrium layer in anticipation of pregnancy

46
Q

Secretory phase

A

After ovulation hormones for corpus luteum convert thickened endometrium into secretory structure

47
Q

If pregnancy does not occur

A

Superficial endometrium layers are lost during menstruation and cycle begins again

48
Q

What does corpus luteum secrete during secretory phase

A

Progesterone and estrogen

49
Q

Drop of progesterone and estrogen cause

A

Endometrial layer to slough off

50
Q

Follicles secrete what during menstrual and Proliferative phase

A

Estrogen causes proliferation

51
Q

Where is estrogen, progesterone, inhibin and AMH released from

A

Ovaries

52
Q

During follicular phase and Proliferative what is dominant

A

Estrogen

53
Q

Ovulation is triggered by

A

Surges in LH and FSH (mostly LH)

54
Q

During luteal phase what is dominant

A

Progesterone

55
Q

When does bod temp raise

A

Secretory phase
Progesterone raises

56
Q

In the tertiary follicles what produces hormones in early to mid follicular phase

A

Granulosa (FSH)
Thecal (LH)

57
Q

How are androgens converted to estrogens

A

Aromatase in granulosa cells

58
Q

What does AMH prevent

A

Additional follicle recruitment so more dont join pool of tertiary

59
Q

Estrogen has what feedback on granulosa cells

A

Positive

60
Q

Estrogen causes

A

Endometrium proliferation

61
Q

When does estrogen release peak from follicles

A

Late follicular phase and ovulation

62
Q

What happens during late follicular phase and ovulation

A

Some follicles undergo atresia, dominating follicle persists and granulosa cells now begin to also release progesterone and inhibin

63
Q

What happens to estrogen late follicular phase and ovulation

A

Persistently high flips to positive feedback on hypothalamus
Readies endometrium of uterus for implantation

64
Q

What happens to LH and FSH during late follicular and ovulation

A

LH surges to greater degree then FSH
- inhibin prevent large FSH surge
