Cards

Term
Cortex of ovary
Definition

follicles and corpa lutea

 

except in mares where follicles develop within ovary

Term

Definition

area right below surface epithilium of ovary

 

dense CT (capsule of ovary)

Term
mitosis in oocyte development
Definition

fetal

 

primordial germ cells, oogonia

Term
primary oocyte
Definition

primordial germ cells --> arrests in prophase of meiosis I 

meiosis begins in fetal development, arrests here until before ovulation

 

 

 

Term
secondary oocyte
Definition

completes meiosis I is complete and forms first polar body

 

just before ovulation in most species

 

dog and mare after ovulation

 

arrests at metaphase of meiosis II

Term
secondary oocyte upon fertilization
Definition

secondary oocytes complete meiosis II

 

 

Term
primordial follicle
Definition

contain primary oocytes



single layer of flattened follicular cells



located at cortex

Term
primary follicle
Definition

contain primary oocytes


non-prominent theca folliculi


cuboidal or columnar follicular cells --> granulosa cells


contains zona pellicuda


NO ANTRUM

Term
zona pellucida
Definition

begins in primary follicle

 

 space developed btwn oocyte and follicular cells (granulosa cells)

Term
secondary follicle
Definition

contains antrum

 

contain primary oocytes


granulosa cells --> secreting estrogen

 

theca folliculi develop into 2 layers

Term
Theca interna cells
Definition
rounded cells
Term
theca externa
Definition
spindle cells
Term
mural granulosa cells
Definition
line wall of follicle (at edge of antrum)
Term
corona radiata
Definition
granulosa cells attached to zona pellucida
Term
cumulus oophorus
Definition
granulosa cells surrounding oocyte
Term
Theca interna
Definition

rounded 

 

secrete androgens

Term
granulosa cells function
Definition
convert androgens secreted by theca interna to estradiol
Term
Graafian follicles
Definition

mature follicles, large antrum

 

primary oocyte completes meiosis I and becomes secondary oocyte arrested in metaphase of meiosis II (except in dog and horse)

 

 

Term
granulosa lutein cells
Definition

cells that form the corpus lutum

 

secrete progesterone

Term

Definition
ampulla
Term
2 cells in tunica mucosa of oviduct
Definition

ciliated cells

 

peg cells (non-ciliated) 

 

Term
peg cells
Definition

secretory cells of oviduct - nutritional support and fluid for oocyte movement

 

non-ciliated

Term
animals with a duplex uterus

Definition
simple columnar epithilium
Term
uterine glands
Definition

simple or branched tubular glands

 

extend into lamina propria/tunica submucosa

Term
3 layers of endometrium
Definition

stratum compactum (superficial)

stratum spongiosum (can contain edema)

stratum basalis

Term
carnucles
