Term
prenatal
Definition
before birth
Term
pre embryonic
Definition
-first 2 weeks
Term
embryonic
Definition
-week 2-8
Term
fetal
Definition
9th week to birth
Term
postnatal
Definition
after birth
Term
neonatal
Definition
birth to month 1
Term
infancy
Definition
birth to 1 year
Term
gestational age
Definition
-time since 1st day of last menstruation
Term
gametogenesis
Definition
-formation and development of gametes
Term
sperm production occurs here
Definition
seminiferous tubules
Term
spermatogonia form
Definition
spermatocytes
mitosis
Term
spermatocytes form
Definition
spermatids
meiosis
Term
spermatids form
Definition
sperm
spermiogenesis
Term
type A sperm daughter cells
Definition
spermatogonia
Term
type B sperm daughter cells
Definition
spermatocytes
Term
spermatid
Definition
-small non motile cells close to the lumen of the tubule
Term
spermatids to sperm
Definition
-spermatids lose excess cytoplasm and form a tail
-head-acrosome/nucleus
-body-mitochondria
-tail-flagellum
Term
oogenesis
Definition
-begins in fetal period
-oogonia form oocytes (mitosis)
Term
oocytes become surrounded by a single layer of
Definition
primordial follicles
Term
primary oocytes begin
Definition
meiosis but stall in prophase I
Term
each month one oocyte is activated
Definition
-to resume meiosis I
-results in 2 haploid cells
-secondary oocyte and first polar body
Term
secondary oocyte finishes meiosis I, begins meiosis II but
Definition
stalls in metaphase II and is released from ovary
Term
if a sperm reaches the oocyte
Definition
it will complete meiosis II yielding ovum and second polar body
Term
ovarian cycle
Definition
-primary to secondary oocyte
-follicular phase
-ovulation
-luteal phase
Term
follicular phase 1
Definition
-primordial follicle becomes primary follicle
-squamous to cuboidal
Term
follicular phase 2
Definition
-primary to secondary follicle (stratified)
-inner layers called granulosa cells
Term
follicular phase 3
Definition
-secondary follicle to late secondary
-CT condenses around
-zona pellucida forms around
-fluid accumulates
Term
follicular phase 4
Definition
-late secondary to vesicular follicle
-antrum forms and expands to isolate oocyte
-vesicular follicle bulges from surface of ovary
-primary oocyte completes meiosis I
Term
ovulation
Definition
-ovary wall raptures and expels secondary oocyte with its corona radiata
-driven by LH and FSH
Term
luteal phase
Definition
-ruptured follicle collapses
-granulosa cells and CT form corpus luteum
-corpus luteum secretes progesterone and estrogen
-if no pregnanacy, it degenerates in 10 days
-if pregnant, placenta takes over in 3 months
Term
menstrual phase
Definition
-day 1-5
-ovarian hormones at lowest levels
-endometrial layers shed and menstrual flow occurs
Term
proliferative phase
Definition
-day 6-14
-estrogen dependent
-generation of new layers and progesterone receptors
-glands enlarge and spiral arteries increase in number
Term
secretory phase
Definition
-day 15-28
-progesterone dependent
-further endometrium development
-glandular secretion of glycogen
