Ovarian Cycle
|
Associated with the maturation and release of an oocyte
|
|
Uterine Cycle
|
describes the regular, recurring changes in the uterine lining that conclude with bleeding
|
|
Average reproductive cycle
|
28 days
|
|
Day 1
|
Bleeding Begins, FSH, LH, estrogen at its lowest
|
|
Day 2 or 3
|
The hypothalamus produces and releases sufficient GnRH to stimulate pituitary gland to release FSH to initiate the new cycle
|
|
Pre-Ovulatory Period: Day 6-Day 13
|
Rising levels of FSH develop several primary follicles. Rising levels of estradiol exert positive feedback causing more production of GnRH which leads to more LH
|
|
Post ovulatory Period: Day 15-28
|
Rising levels of progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum exert negative feedback inhibiting GnRH.
|
|
Menstruation
|
from day 1 to day 5. sharp decline of estradiol and progesterone constrict the blood vessels that supply the endometrium which removes negative feedback
|
|
Amenorrhea
|
Absence of menstrual periods in post-pubescent women that aren't pregnant
|
|
Primary Amenorrhea
|
Failure to menstruate by age 18.
caused by chromosomal abnormalties or endocrine disorders |
|
Secondary Amenorrhea
|
absence if menstrual periods for six months or more. May be caused by significant reduction in weight, pituatary ghlands or tumors that decrease FSH or LH
|
|
Mittelschmerz
|
pain in the abdomen at the time of ovulation
|
|
PreMenstrual Syndrome
|
Physiological, physical, and emotional symptoms that appear in a large number of women between 3 and 10 days prior to the start of menses
|
|
PMS treatment
|
low dose anti-depressants, calcium, aspirin or ibuprofen, changes in diet
|
|
Dysmenorrhea
|
pelvic pain and painful menstrual cramps during menstruation.
|
|
Dysmenorrhea Treatment
|
Ibuprofen or Aspirin
|
|
Toxic Shock Syndrome
|
Caused by Staph bacteria that invade the blood stream from the skin and produce deadly toxins
|
|
Symptoms of TSS
|
high fever, rash, peeling skin, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, and dangerous drops in blood pressure
|
|
Cause of Menopause
|
between 40-55 woman produce declining amounts of estrogen and progesterone. As she grows older her ovaries become less and less responsive to FSH and LH.
|
|
Effects of Menopause
|
Changes in hormonal levels cause: dizziness headaches insomnia anxiety or depression
|
|
Osteoporosis
|
Progressive loss of bone mass due to demineralization of bone tissue. which causes easy bone fractures.
|
|
Preventing Osteoporosis
|
Calcium and vitamins especially D, reduce alcohol and Stop Smoking
|
|
Hormone Replacement therapy
|
main risk is increase breast, uterine and ovarian cancers
|
|
Sexual Response Cycles
|
Excitement,Plateau, Orgasm, Resolution
|
|
Excitement (male)
|
Sexual Desire is controlled by the limbic system.
|
|
Plateau (male)
|
Sex Flush occurs, testes are drawn closer to the body and become larger, bulbourethral gland secretes mucus, emission of ejaculate, muscle tension
|
|
Orgasm (male)
|
release of muscle tension usually accompanied by discharge of semen. nerve signals to the prostate cause them to release fluid to the urethra
|
|
Resolution (male)
|
Starts immediately after orgasm, blood flow to penis is reduced
|
|
Excitement (female)
|
Limbic System, increased blood flow to vagina, vaginal sweating, mucus. Labia increases in size, clitoris becomes erect, nipples become erect
|
|
Plateau (female)
|
Sex Flush, uterus vertical
|
|
Cleavage
|
30-36 hours post implantation, the zygote divides by mitosis to form blastomeres. cell division occurs the next 72 hours and produce a solid ball of cells called a morula. at day 4-5 blastomeres produce a hollow ball of cells called blastocysts.
|
|
Cleavage: caviation
|
produces a fluid filled cavity called blastocoels
|
|
Cleavage: compaction
|
creates an outer layer of small cells called a trophoblast
|
|
Embryoblast
|
larger cells inside the trophoblast form an inner cell mass that eventually becomes the embryo
|
|
Implantation
|
Between day 6-8 fertilization the blastocyst makes contact with the wall of the uterus.
|
|
Once made contact with uterine wall, forms...
|
cytotrophoblast inner layer
Synctiotropblast outer layer |
|
Ectopic Pregnancy
|
The blastocyst implants outside the uterus in 1/300 pregnancies.
|
|
Embryogenesis
|
9 days after fertilization, the embryoblast slightly separates from the trophoblast creating an amniotic cavity
|
|
Embryonic disc
|
when the embryoblasts flatten
|
|
12 days post fert. the embryonic disc elongats and..
|
a thick primitive streak forms along the midline containing the primitive groove
|
|
Primary germ layers are formed durign
|
Gastrulation
|
|
Gastrulation: Endoderm
|
Linings and glands of digestive tract, respiratory system,
|
|
Gastrualtion: Mesoderm
|
Muscle. bone, cartilage, blood
|
|
Gastrualtion: Ectoderm
|
skin, hair, nails, much of nervous system
|
|
Amnion
|
develops from the ectoderm and mesoderm and completely surrounds the embryo. produces amniotic fluid.
|
|
Yolk Sac
|
Develops from embryonic disc form a pouch that hangs below the embryo. produces first blood cells
|
|
Allantois
|
develops from the endoderm that forms a small pouch a the end of the yolk. forms foundation for umbilical cord
|
|
Chorion
|
develops from mesoderm that was produced from trophoblasts. Forms finger like projections chronic villi
|
|
Placentation
|
Placenta begins to form during the second week following fertilization. As chronic Villi grow they develop many new blood cells an become surrounded by spaces that will fill with maternal blood.
|
|
