What are the 3 stages of the Ovarian Cycle?   Follicular Phase; Ovulatory Phase; Luteal Phase  
🗑
FOLLICULAR Phase   1. Day 1-12; 5-15 follicles begin but only 1 matures into oocyte (Graafian follicle); 2. Follicular cells produce estrogen & surround oocyte; 3. Zona pellucida surrounds plasma membrane of ooctye; 4. Stromal develop. of theca folliculi  
🗑
Follicular (Granulosa) Cells   A single layer of flattened cells that surround the oocyte & produce estrogen; Later advance to form a multilayer structure called the cumulus oophorus  
🗑
Zona Pellucida   A glycoprotein covering that surronds the plasma membrane of the oocyte; Stucture binds spermatozoa and is req'd for acromsomal rxn; 5 days after fertilization Z.P degenerates & is replaced by unederlying layer of trophoblastic cells  
🗑
Primordial Follicle   All follicle until puberty; 1° oocyte in prophase I of meiosis; single layer of flattened follicular cells  
🗑
Graafian (Mature) Follicle   Follicle prior to ovulation; Oocyte completes meiosis I; 1st polar body formed; haploid; Oocyte surrounded by cumulous oophorus and corona radiata; Oocyte & cumulus oophorus detaches from follicle  
🗑
Corona radiata   Innermost layer of the cumulus oophorus that transfers add'l cytoplasmic nutrients to oocyte  
🗑
OVULATORY Phase   Days 12-14; Ovarian surface bulges; Stigma (avascular spot); surface degenerates from lack of blood supply; Follicle ruptures; Oocyte & follicular fluid extruded into peritoneum; 2° oocyte begins Meiosis II; Oocyte transport to fallopian tubes by fimbria  
🗑
LUTEAL Phase   Days 15-28; Follicle & Theca foliiculi form corpus luteum w/in 24 hrs;  
🗑
Corpus Luteum   A temporary endocrine gland that produces PROGESTERONE; if Pregnant lasts 20 wks; Nonpregnant lasts 10-12 days  
🗑
What are the 3 hormones that control the OVARIAN cycle?   GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone)  
🗑
GnRH   Produced in Hypothalamus; Acts on cells of ant. pituitary gland; causes secretion of FSH & LH  
🗑
FSH   Produced by ant. pituitary; Promotes early develop. of ovarian follicles  
🗑
LH   Produced by ant. pituitary; Triggers ovulation; Promotes develop. of corpus luteum; released in final stages of follicle maturation  
🗑
What 3 phases make up the UTERINE (menstrual) Cycle?   Menstrual Phase; Proliferative Phase; Secretory Phase  
🗑
What 3 structures (layers) makeup the menstrual cycle?   Perimetrium-Outer Covering; Myometrium-Inner layer made of smooth muscle; Endometrium-Functional & Basal Layer involved w/ implantation  
🗑
How long does the menstrual cycle last?   28 days  
🗑
MENSTRUAL Phase   Day 1-4; Sloughing off (bleeding) of functional layer (endometrium); pregnancy did not occur  
🗑
PROLIFERATIVE Phase   Days 5-15; Cells in basal layer regrow-functional & basal layer is regenerated  
🗑
SECRETORY Phase   Days 15-28; Glands secrete glycogen (form of energy); If Fertilization takes place embryo implants on day 6 of SECRETORY phase (day 20 of uterine cyle); If NO Fertilization, ischmia (inadq. blood supply) in endometrium leads to sloughing off  
🗑
What are the 2 hormones that control the MENSTRUAL cycle?   Estrogen & Progesterone  
🗑
Estrogen   Produced by follicular cells in ovary; Promotes proliferation of endometrium during 1st half of menst. cycle  
🗑
Progesterone   Produced by Corpus Luteum of the ovary; Stimulates endometrial glands to secrete glycogen; Maintains blood supply;  
🗑
Falling levels of Estrogen & Progesteron lead to what?   Ischemia and sloughing off of funct. layer of endometrium  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
