seminiferous tubules; produce testosterone |
|
Testis
Subgroup: Seminiferous Tubules LM: 577 TB: 1026 |
Produce gametes (spermatozoa)

|
Ovary
Subgroup: Primordial Follicles LM: 588 TB: 1042, 1050-1052 |
One layer of squamous like follicle cells surrounds the oocyte.
|
|
Ovary
Subgroup: Primary Follicles LM: 588 TB: 1042, 1050-1052 |
A single layer of cuboidal or columnar type follicle cells
enclose the oocyte; contains a primary oocyte. |
|
Ovary
Subgroup: Secondary Follicles LM: 588 TB: 1042, 1050-1052 |
Two or more layers of granulosa cells surround the oocyte;
contains secondary oocyte. |
|
Ovary
Subgroup: Vesicular Follicles (Graafian or Tertiary Follicle) LM: 588 TB: 1042, 1050-1052 |
Forms when the fluid-filled pockets coalesce to form a central
fluid filled cavity called an antrum; oocyte sits on a stalk of granulosum cells at the side of the antrum. |
|
Ovary
Subgroup: Corpus Luteum LM: 588 TB: 1042, 1052 |
After ovulation, the ruptured follicle is transformed into this
glandular structure, which primarily secretes progesterone in preparation for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, it degenerates into the corpus albicans. |

Subgroup: Ovum (Ova) LM: Not Found TB: G-16, 1025, 1049 |
The female gamete (egg)
|
|
Ovary
Subgroup: Antrum LM: 589 TB: 1052 |
A large fluid filled cavity within a follicle that distinguishes it as
a Graafian follicle as opposed to a late secondary follicle. |
|
Ovary
Subgroup: Corona Radiata LM: Not Found TB: 1052 |
Capsule of granulosum cells that surrounds the oocyte in the
antrum. |
|

Subgroup: Functional Layer LM: 590-591 TB: 1044 |
Portion of the endometrium that is shed during menstration.
|
|
Uterus
Subgroup: Basal Layer LM: 590-591 TB: 1044 |
Portion of the endometrium that is not shed during menstration
and forms a new functional layer when menstration ends. |
|
Uterus
Subgroup: Glands LM: 590-591 TB: 1044-1045 |

Uterus
Subgroup: Endometrium LM: 590-591 TB: 1044-1045 |

the embryo. |
|
Uterus
Subgroup: Myometrium LM: 590 TB: 1044 |
The bulky middle layer of the uterus, composed of interlacing
