Q

oogenesis

A

mitosis during fetal development → arrest at prophase 1 until puberty

then continues and goes through meiosis 1 → arrests at (metaphase 2) meiosis II until fertilized then continues to one egg and two polar bodies

Q

primordial follicle

A

Simple squamous follicle cell layer surrounds a primary oocyte

  • Oocytes are arrested in prophase I
  • The majority of oocytes are in this stage

Q

primary follicle

Study These Flashcards
A

Follicle cells become cuboidal and proliferate ( membrana granulosa→ granulosa cells)

  • Theca folliculi forms - from stroma cells
  • Zona pellucida forms

(oocyte → arrested at prophase 1)

22
Q

secondary follicle

Study These Flashcards
A

Follicular growth in response to FSH

  • Multiple layers of granulosa cells
  • Antrum becomes apparent
  • Theca cells further differentiate
  • Theca interna : vascular; hormone secretion

• Theca externa:connective tissue

23
Q

graafian follicle

Study These Flashcards
A

Dominant follicle is selected/atresia of others → only one egg will survive others will regress

  • Increased FSH receptors on granulosa cells
  • Meiosis I is completed

cumulus oophorus and corona radiata

24
Q

how does LH work in female cycle

Study These Flashcards
A

binds to theca cell → androstenedione (androgens)

androstenedione will move to granulosa cell

FSH binds to granulosa cells and will change androgens into estradiol(estrogen)

25
later in development what cells develop LH receptors
granulosa cells after ovulation theca and granulosa cells will leutenize (will start to **produce progesterone)**
26
what happens during ovulation
**surge in LH** → starts ovulation, oocyte enters metaphase II follicular cells (theca and granulosa cells) → luteal cells corpus hemorrhagisum (CH) and then corpus luteum(CL) **CL cells produce progesterone**
27
corpus luteum produce
progesterone
28
CL turns into
corpus albicans (drop in progesterone) will regress if no fertilization
29
The presence of a \_\_\_prolongs the life of the CL
(maternal recognition of pregnancy) conceptus → fetus
30
around day 14, there is no fertilization so the CL → albicans this will decrease amount of progesterone and cause the uterus to increase the amount of PGF2 ruminants have their artery and vein right next to each other, PGF2 will be transferred to artery and back to uterus
31
oocyte vs follicular development
32
induced ovulators
cats won't have luteal phase unless they have been breed → will stay in follicular phase
33
during early to mid follicular phase negative feedback by \_\_\_
34
during late follicular phase + feedback by \_\_\_
35
negative feedback during luteal phase
36
in female reproductive cycle surge in LH causes \_\_\_
ovulation decrease in estrogen increase in progesterone
37
what triggers the drop in progesterone?
increase in PGF2 alpha
38
estrous cycle vs menstrual cycle
**Estrous cycle**: endometrium is reabsorbed if fertilization does not occur **Menstrual cycle**: endometrium is shed if fertilization does not occur **(after luteal phase)**
39
bleeding during menstrual vs estrous cycle
menstrual → after luteal phase → not fertile estrous → in heat → before and during fertile → edema will cause blood leakage
40
Monoestrous • Polyestrous • Seasonally polyestrous • Induced ovulators
cycle once a year throughout the year (humans) depends on the season (horse) copulation induces cycle (cat)
41
stages of estrous cycle
Proestrus Estrus Metestrus Diestrus Anestrus
42
proestrus
first stage of estrous cycle ## Footnote Occurs during early follicular phase Estrogen levels rising; progesterone declines
43
estrus
Sexually receptive **“in heat"** * Occurs during late follicular phase * **Estrogen levels high** * Changes observed in the uterus, cervix, and vulva
44
Metestrus
* Immediately post ovulation * Estrogen declining; **progesterone rising → will tighten uterus**
45
Diestrus
* Not sexually receptive * Occurs during the luteal phase * Changes observed in uterus, cervix, vulva ## Footnote **progesterone rising → will tighten uterus**
46
Anestrus
* Occurs in **seasonal breeders** * Can occur **during lactation** * Complete **shutdown of reproductive** system
47
how does light effect reproduction
Light triggers affects seasonality in some animals * Darkness stimulates the production of melatonin * Melatonin alters the rate of GnRH pulses
48
bruce effect
CL formation can be delayed in the presence of pheromones (males)
49
how to hasten ovulation
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) • Mimics LH • Induces ovulation in mares GnRH agonists • Deslorelin acetate IM
50
how to shorten diestrus
push CL → CA need CL to produce progesterone to keep pregnancy **prostaglandin (PGF2 alpha) will terminate the pregnancy**
51
superovulation
acts on FSH receptors → leads to more follicles developing ## Footnote Pregnant mare serum gonadotropin/equine chorionic gonadotropin
