Why?
LH; Because it maintains the uterine wall
Corpus luteum gets a signal from the fertilized egg in the form of _______ that’ll keep the uterine lining thick
HCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin)
what happens if there is no signall from the fertilized egg to the corpus luteum
the uterine lining wont stay thick, so itll shed (menstration)
Oogenesis:
the production of eggs in the ovary
Eggs develop on the ovary from immature cells called _______

14, half way through the menstration cycle
In humans, the production of oogonio stops at ______
birth
During the early development of the female organism, the oogonia divide many times by ______to form a supply of oogonio
mitosis
By about the ____ month of development, the oogonia with the baby’s ovaries begin to develop into cells called_______
third

primary oocytes
When the first meitoc division takes place in the primary oocyte, does the cytoplasm of the cells divides unequally?
No; One of the daughter cells is large and receives most of the cytoplasm
Oogenesis:

what is the large daughter cell wich receives most of the cytoplasm called?
secondary oocyte
in Oogenesis, What is the smaller daughter cell called?
first polar body
In Oogenesis each of the daughter cells has the _____ number of chromosomes

ovulation
Oogenesis:

Once the secondary oocyte exists the ovary, it begins to travel down the ______
uterine tube
Oogenesis:

What happens if the secondary oocyte doesn’t encounter a spermatozoan? (after traveling down the uterine tube)
it never undergoes the secondary meiotic division
Oogenesis:

When does the secondary meiotic division happen?
It only occurs when fertilization happens
