Term
Structures that secrete hormones in female

Hypothalamus will release hormones to the
Definition
pituitary
Term
Pituitary will secrete hormones of
Definition
FSH and LH
Term
Pituitary secretions of FSH and LH to what structures to the ovary
Definition
growing foliclle and corpus luteum
Term
FSH effect of growing follicle will produce
Definition
estrogen
Term
LH effect on growing follicle will produce
Definition
ovulation
Term
LH effect on the corpus luteum will produce
Definition
progesterone and some estrogen
Term
Progesterone is the hormone of
Definition
thermogenesis
Term
Ovulation test will indicate
Definition
an increase of body temperature of 5 degrees F because of the increase of progesterone
Term
Increased estrogen at midcycle will stimulate
Definition
LH secretion
Term
Increased progesterone and estrogen after ovulation will inhibit
Definition
FSH and LH secretion
Term
The ovarian cycle typically occurs at
Definition
28 day intervals
Term
The follicular phase is
Definition
the period of follicle growth (estrogen secretion)
Term
The follicular phase happens during
Definition
days 1-14
Term
The luteal phase is
Definition
the period of corpus luteum activity
Term
The luteal phase is the
Definition
period of corpus luteum activity
Term
The luteal phase happens during
Definition
days 12-28
Term
Corpus luteum will secrete
Definition
progesterone
Term
If pregnancy does not occur the
Definition
secretion of progesterone will cease
Term
Ovulation will occur at
Definition
the midcycle
Term
Two functions of the ovary
Definition
oogenesis, endocrine function
Term
Oogenesis is the
Definition
maturation and production of ova
Term
Endocrine function makes
Definition
hormones progesterone and estrogen
Term
Secretory phase (12 days) is controlled by
Definition
progesterone
Term
Ova can survive
Definition
24 hours
Term
Sperm may survive
Definition
2-3 days
Term
Women with shorter menstrual cycle lengths tend to
Definition
ovulate earlier
Term
Women with longer cycle lengths tend to ovulate
Definition
later than the cycle day 14 (secretory day will be constant)
Term
The time from ovulation to the onset of the next menstrual period is
Definition
constant (2 weeks)
Term
Menstruation phase is
Definition
days 1-5
Term
In menstruation phase the
Definition
functional layer is shed and ovarian hormones are at their lowest
Term
Proliferative phase (preovulatory) is
Definition
days 6-14
Term
The proliferative phase the endometrium
Definition
rebuilds itself
Term
In the proliferative phase the increased secretion of estrogen causes
Definition
the endometrium to become thickened, full of blood vessels (become vascular) and glandular
Term
Ovulation occurs on
Definition
day 14
Term
The ovulation phase the follicle will
Definition
burst and release the egg
Term
The secretory phase occurs on
Definition
days 15-28
Term
The secretory phase increases the secretion of progesterone causing
Definition
the endometrium to double in thickeness.
Term
The secretory phase will cause the uterine glands to
Definition
become mature and produce a thick mucoid secretion
Term
The uterus will be able to accept the fertilized egg in the
Definition
secretory phase
Term
Oogenesis is the
Definition
production of eggs
Term
The fetus primary oocyte is
Definition
arrested in prophase 1 (ovary cortex)
Term
The childhood oogenesis has
Definition
about 700,000 primary oocytes ready to go
Term
The puberty primary oocyte is
Definition
primordial follicle
Term
Puberty oogenesis completes Meiosis 1 to produce
Definition
2 haploid cells
Term
2 haploid cells produce
Definition
secondary oocyte and first polar body
Term
Ovulation is the
Definition
secondary oocyte released by ovary
Term
Fertilization is when the
Definition
sperm penetrates secondary oocyte
Term
When sperm penetrates the secondary oocytes it will complete
Definition
meiosis 2 to produce 1 very large haploid ovum and polar body
Term
Primary Ocyte gives only
Definition
one ova
Term
Oogenesis has both
Definition
ova and sperm
Term
Corpus luteum forms from
Definition
granulosa and thecal cells remaining from the bursting site
Term
Corpus luteum secretes
Definition
progesterone and some estrogen
Term
If there is pregnancy there will be
Definition
increase in progesterone secretion
Term
If there is not pregnancy there will be
Definition
a destruction of the the structure (no more progesterone)
Term
Fallopian tubes (oviducts, uterine tubes) transport
Definition
ova from the ovary to the uterus and sperm form the uterus toward the ovary
Term
Fallopian tubes secretes a fluid through
Definition
the oviducts and the cilia walls which beat to transport the ovulated egg toward the uterus
Term
Pregnancy tests will test for
Definition
HCG
Term
What phase of the menstrual cycle does the corpus luteum degenerate
Definition
menstrual period
Term
One primary ocyte gives---------mature ova
Definition
One
Term
Secretory phase of menstrual cycle-----hormone secretion occurs from ovary
Definition
progesterone
Term

Definition
progesterone (Basal body Temperature)
Term
Homone causes ovulation
Definition
estrogen
Term
Which hormone stimulate LH surge
Definition
estrogen (ovulating hormone)
Term
Corpus luteum occurs inside ---
Definition
ovary
Term
Formation of corpus luteum before ovulation or after ovulaion?
Definition
after ovulation (progesterone comes)
Term
Estrogen secretion from---
Definition
growing follicle (tertiary follicle) of ovary
Term
Why menstruation occurs/endometrial shedding occurs/
Definition
preparation for fertilzation and ovarian hormones
Term
During menstruation which endometrial layer sheding?
Definition
Stratum functionalis
Term
Hypothalamic secretes hormone of
Definition
GnRH every 60-90 min
Term
Anterior Pituitary secretes
Definition
FSH and LH
Term
The ovaries produce
Definition
estrogen and progesterone
Term
Ovarian follicles pulsatile release of LH and FSH is necessary for
Definition
development of ovarian follicles, necssary for cyclicity
Term
Where does fertilization take place?
Definition
ampullary part of fallopian tube
Term
What hormone does the corpus luteum secrete
Definition
progesterone in secretory (luteal) phase of menstrual cycle
Term
Secondary oocyte is a
Definition
haploid number
Term

from the anterior pituitary stimulates milk production after childbirth
