Term
Metaphase
Definition
-spindle fibers attach to centromeres and line up chromatid at plate (amphitelic)
Term
Anaphase
Definition
-chromatids pulled toward opposite poles by spindle shortening and poles moving apart

cytokinesis
Definition
-cleavage furrow (actin/myosin) forms
-cytoplasm splits
Term
differences in plant cell
Definition
-cell plate instead of cleavage furrow
-no centrioles
Term
Prophase I
Definition
-spindles form, chromosomes appear, nuclear envelope disappears
-chromosomes intertwine (synapsis)
-crossing over occurs
Term
Metaphase I
Definition
spindle attaches to kinetochore and homologous pair line up at plate
Term
Anaphase I
Definition
-homologous pairs separate pulled toward poles

oogenesis occurs in
Definition
ovarian follicles
Term
estrogen secreted by
Definition
follicle and corpus luteum
Term
progesterone secreted by
Definition
corpus luteum
Term
progesterone
Definition
stimulates development and maintainance of endometrium walls in prep for implantation
Term
menstrual cycle
Definition
-follicular phase
-ovulation
-luteal phase
-menstruation
Term
follicular phase
Definition
-FSH (anterior pituitary) stimulates development of a follicle which secretes estrogen
Term
ovulation
Definition
-LH (anterior pituitary) stimulates release of ovum
Term
luteal phase
Definition
LH stimulates ruptured follicle to develop into corpus luteum which secretes estrogen and progesterone
Term
estrogen/progesterone essential for maintainance of
Definition
endometrium walls
Term
menstruation
Definition
if ovum not fertilized corpus luteum atrophies
-endometrium lining causes mentrual flow
