What is A mature ovum in its sac sometimes called is it an oocyte or a primary follicle or a graafian follicle or an ovarian follicle?
graafian follicle
What is a mature ovarian follicle?
Graafian follicle
What do lutein cells develop from?
Lutein cells are the glandular-epithelial cells forming the outer layer of the corpus luteum. They develop from cells of the Graafian follicle.
What catches the product of the Graafian follicle as it leaves the ovary?
When fully mature, the Graafian follicle breaks open and releases the ovum, which passes into the fallopian tubes.
What is the other name of Graafian follicle?
Cecil Mcbottletop
How is the name follicle-stimulating hormone appropriate for its function?
In females, in the ovary FSH stimulates the growth of immature Graafian follicles to maturation. Graafian follicles are the mature follicle. Primary follicles mature to Graafian follicles. As the follicle grows, it releases inhibin, which shuts off the FSH production.
What structure in the ovary contains the developing oocyte egg?
in the Vesicular (Graafian) follicle
What ruptures on the ovarian cortex each month?
graafian follicle
What is the major secretory product of the graafian follicle is?
The main one is progesterone, but the corpus luteum also produces estrogen.
What do Follicle stimulating hormones and Luteinizing hormones do?
FSH stimulates spermatogenesis and development of graafian follicles.LH stimulates secretion of sex hormones,emmits ova and turn graafian follicle into corpus luteum.
What is a rupture of the graafian follicle known as?
When ovulation occurs, the graafian follicle(s) rupture. The oocyte with surrounding cumulus cells (COC's) are expelled into the infundibulum and transported to the site of fertilization. Before and during the rupture of the graafian follicle, blood vessels will rupture too, which causes hemorrhaging. So the structure that is left behind after the oocyte is expelled, is called a corpus hemorrhagicum.
What are the stages of follicle development?
Follicle development occurs in several stages: primordial follicle, primary follicle, secondary follicle, preantral follicle, antral follicle, and mature (Graafian) follicle. Each stage involves specific changes in the follicle and oocyte as they mature towards ovulation.
