Q

Spermatogonia

A

Mitosis cell division of sperm into 2 daughter cells. Of the two, one becomes Primary Spermatocyte to make four sperm. The other goes for Secondary Spermatocyte in dividing pool

Q

Oocyte

18
Q

Myometrium

A

What allows child birth contractions

19
Q

Ooogenesis

A

Process of female gamete (ovum) formation

20
Q

Oogonia

A

Spermatogonia equivalent. Diploid stem cells (by mitosis) Then turn into Primary Ooocytes

21
Q

Primary Oocytes

A

First meiotic division. Spermatocyte equivalent. BUT P.O only occurs in fetus. Lifetime supply at birth.

22
Q

Secondary Ooctyes

A

Only completed upon fertilization

23
Q

Ova

A

Female reproductive cell (gamete)

24
Q

Polar Body

A

Haploid cell formed with oogenesis

25
Folliculogenesis
Maturation of ovarian follicle with immature oocytes
26
Primordial Follicles
have a single layer of squamous pre-granulosa cells surrounding a primary oocyte. Can grow into Primary Follicle
27
Secondary Follicles
have multiple layers of granulosa cells surrounding a primary oocyte.
28
Ovulation
FHS hormone rage. Ovary wall ruptures to released secondary oocyte. Released from ovary down fallopian tube for fertilization
29
Follicular Phase
vesicular follicles secrete increasing amounts of estrogens and one of these follicles is selected as the dominant follicle. Phase lasts from the first to the fourteenth day of the ovarian cycle, at which point ovulation typically occurs.
30
Luteal Phase
Corpus Luteum is active during this phase
31
Corpus Luteum
supplies the high levels of progesterone and estrogens that characterize the luteal phase. If no pregnancy, CL degenerates
32
Corpus Albicans
Scar that forms from corpus luteum after pregnancy doesn't happen.
33
Graafian Follicle
Fluid-filled sac where ovum develops before ovulation
34
Menstrual Stage
Uterus sheds deepest part of of endometrium. Ovarian hormones are at all time low. This is where menstruation occurs.
35
Proliferative Stage
Endometrium rebuilds itself.
36
Secretory Stage
Most constant timewise. Endometrium prepares for an embryo to implant. Increase levels of progesterone
37
Gamete
Sex cell
38
Gametogenesis
Formation of gametes (meiosis)
39
Gonad
Primary reproductive organ (testis, ovaries)
40
Zygote
Fertilized Egg
