Q

Follicle Development

A

5-7 million oogonia during fetal development
Primordial follicles are recruited each cycle (1 year complete maturation)
Then they become primary follicles
Then they become secondary follicle
Formation of Theca cells

Q

Menstural Cycle

A

Females produce mature gametes in monthly cycles (Avg 28 days; normal range 24-35 days)

17
Q

How long does menstrual cycle last

A

3-7 days

18
Q

Follicular phase

A

Marked by follicular growth, most variable 10 days to 3 weeks

19
Q

Ovulation

A

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

20
Q

Luteal phase

A

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

21
Q

As uterine bleeding is happening

A

Multiple Follicles develop

22
Q

Phases of Uterine Cycle

A

Menses
Proliferative phase
Secretory Phase

23
Q

Menses

A

The beginning of the follicular phase in ovary corresponds with menstrual bleeding from the uterus

24
Q

Proliferative phase

A

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

25
Q

Secretory Phase

A

After ovulation hormones from corpus luteum convert thickened endometrium into a secretory structure

26
Q

Hormonal Control of Menstrual cycle

A

GnRH from hypothalamus
FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary
Estrogen and Progesterone increased at secretory phase

27
Q

What is ovulation triggered by

A

LH and FSH

28
Q

AMH prevents

A

Additional follicle recruitment

29
Q

Granulosa cells secrete

A

Estrogen
