Answer 4

estrogen and FSH

Question 5

Ovulation is triggered by

Answer 5

LH

Question 6

Primordial follicle

Answer 6

• found in superficial cortex
• Oocyte surrounded by simple squamous epithelium
• Oocyte in prophase of first meiotic division

Question 7

Unimlaminar primary follice

Answer 7

• beginning in puberty, FSH from pituitary stimulates process of follicular growth
• Oocyte surrounded by simple cuboidal

Question 8

Multilaminar primary follice(growing follicle)

Answer 8

• Follicular cells proliferate
• Oocyte surrounded by stratified cuboidal epithelium (granulosa)
• Zona pellucida appears between oocyte and first layerof granulosa cells

Question 9

Glycoprotein coat initiates

Answer 9

acrosome reaction (ZP3 and ZP4 sprem receptors)

Question 10

Interstitial cells

Answer 10

differentiate into theca folliculi

Question 11

Granulosa cells accumulate

Answer 11

liqur folliculi

Question 12

Granulosa

Answer 12

• creates fluid filled chamber = antrum

- Converts androgens to estradiol via aromatase

Question 13

theca folliculi is seperated from the granulosa by

Answer 13

basement membrane

Question 14

Theca folliculi layers

Answer 14

• theca interna

- theca externa

Question 15

theca interna

Answer 15

endocrine tissue that secretes androgens

converts to estradiol, returned and secreted into blood

Question 16

Theca externa

Answer 16

connective tissue and smooth muscle

Question 17

Oocyte surrounded by several layers of granulosa cells

Answer 17

corona radiata

Question 18

Oocyte in the antrum is suspended by

Answer 18

cumulusoophorus

Question 19

in ovulation, the response from a surge of LH

Answer 19

• oocyte in mature follie completes first meiotic division, arrested in metaphase II
• Granulosa cells produce prostaglandins/hyaluronan, ovarian wall weaks
• mature follicle rupture and releases ovum together with coronaradiata

Question 20

ruptured follicle fills with blood

Answer 20

corpus hemorrhagicum

theca lutein cells secrete

Answer 23

androgens and progesterone

Question 24

After 14 days of absence of pregnancy, the corpus luteum

Answer 24

degenerates

Question 25

No LH

Answer 25

no pregnancy

Question 26

Decreased progesterone

Answer 26

leads to menstruation

Question 35

What does the functionalis layer do

Answer 35

it sheds during menstruation

Question 36

What does the Basalis layer do

Answer 36

remains after menstruation and contains bases of glands

Question 37

What is the functionalis supplied by

Answer 37

coiled arteries that are progesterone sensitive

Question 38

What is the proliferative stage stimulated by

Answer 38

estrogen

Question 39

What sitmulates the epithelial cells of the corpus luteum

Answer 39

Answer 40

stratified squamous non-keratinized

Question 41

at the transformation zone, what is happening

Answer 41

columnar epithelium in the endocervix is being replaced by stratified squamous epithelium from the ectocervix

Question 42

What cause epithelial cells to synthesize glycogen in the vagina

Answer 42
