Hormone that causes ovulation
LH
Follicle with simple squamous
Primordial Follicle
Follicle with Zona pellucida
Primary Unilaminar follicle
Layer with smooth muscle
Theca externa
Hormone secreted in proliferative phase
estrogen
Replace corpus luteum
corpus albicans
Lining endocervix
simple columnar
What epithelium is in the transformation zone
simple columnar and squamous
Exocrine function of ovary
produce eggs
Major component of Myometrium
Smooth Muscle
hormone produced by corpus luteum in response to LH
Progesterone
Paired almond-shaped bodies lined by germinal epithelium/ simple cuboidal epithelium
ovaries
the connective tissue in the ovary
tunica albuginea = dense irregular CT
The cortex usually contains the _____, we know we are looking at the medulla if we have ______.
follicles, blood vessels
• Follicular Cells – _____ surrounding the cells
• Stromal Cells – Cells found _____
- Directly
- outside
Follicles that are formed during fetal life are called ______ follicles.
PRIMORDIAL
- activate sperm cells during the fertilization
- It will harden once a sperm cell passes through
- is only destroyed by human sperm cells.
Zona pellucida
Within Secondary follicles, spaces appear between the granulosa cells as the cells secrete follicular fluid called _____
ANTRUM
- Accumulates more fluid which causes it to expand
o Forms bulge at the ovary surface
o Follicular cells stop dividing at this stage
GRAAFIAN FOLLICLE
- granulosa cells that directly surround the oocyte
• accompanies the oocyte after ovulation
Corona radiata
forms the hillock that provide support to the egg cell
Cumulus oophorus
the distal 3rd, funnel- shaped and its margins have numerous tapering fringe-like processes called _____, which will create a suctioning motion to capture the egg.
Infundibulum, fimbriae
• Site of fertilization
• Most common site of ectopic pregnancy because of its length
AMPULLA
Lined by simple ciliated columnar with nonciliated secretory or peg cells
OVIDUCT
