ovarian ligament
|
|
supports the ovary and is located between the ovary and lateral pelvic wall

|
what are the 4 layers of the ovary (outside to inside)
|
visceral/ germinal epithelium
tunica albuginea cortex medulla |
|
production of ova on a monthly basis -- part of ovarian cycle
|
oogenesis
|
|
this structure completes mitotic division prior to birth so all primary oocytes are present at birth

what surrounds each primary oocyte?
|
follicular cells called primordial follicle
|
|
most primary oocytes degenerate and become what?
|
atretic follicles
|
|
what is the first step of the ovarian cycle?

primordial follicles become primary follicles
|
|
what hormone is secreted in the 1st step of the ovarian cycle?
|
estrogens
|
|
the following are functions are what hormone?
- stimulates bone and muscle growth -maintain secondary female sex characteristics - influences sex related behaviors and drives - maintains reproductive glands - initiates repari and growth of uterine lining |
estrogen
|
|
what is the 2nd step of the ovarian cycle?
|
formation of primary follicle into secondary follicle
|
|
what is the 3rd step of the ovarian cycle?
|
secondary follicle develops into tertiary follicle
|
|
which estrogen is most important
- dominant hormone prior to ovulation |
estradiol
|
|
another name for a tertiary follicle
|
mature ovarian follicle and graafian follicle
