What is in the mature vesicular follicle of the ovary?
The mature vesicular follicle in the ovary contains a secondary oocyte (immature egg cell), surrounded by several layers of granulosa cells and an outer layer of theca cells. This structure is also known as a Graafian follicle and is crucial for ovulation and the release of the egg during the menstrual cycle.
What signals an immature egg cells to ripen?
Hormones, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) released by the pituitary gland, help stimulate the growth and maturation of egg cells in the ovaries. These hormones signal the egg cells to ripen and eventually be released during ovulation.
A primary oocyte is closely surrounded by flattened epithelial cells called?
follicular
What is another name for an immature egg cell?
gametes, sex cells, haploid cells. the process is meiosis.
What is the function of the cilia in the lining of the fallopian tube?
Simple columnar epithelial cells, some ciliated, line the uterine tube. The epithelium secretes mucus, and the cilia beat toward the uterus. These actions help draw the secondary oocyte and expelled follicular fluid into the infundibulum following ovulation. Ciliary action and peristaltic contractions of the uterine tube's muscular layer help transport the secondary oocyte down the uterine tube. Hole's A&P page 519
What surrounds a primary oocyte?
follicle cells
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 forms part of the primary follicle in the ovary?
The primary follicle in the ovary consists of an immature egg (oocyte) surrounded by a single layer of follicular cells called granulosa cells. These granulosa cells support and nourish the developing egg.
An ovarian follicle that has multiple layers of granulose cells that surround the oocyte and has fluid-filled vesicles but no antrum is called an?
secondary follicle
What is the glycoprotein layer between the oocyte and the granulosa cells of an ovarian follicle called?
The glycoprotein layer between the oocyte and the granulosa cells of an ovarian follicle is called the zona pellucida. It plays a crucial role in mediating interactions between the oocyte and surrounding cells during ovulation and fertilization.
What is an ovarian follicle?
the hair follicle is a skin organ that produces hair.
How are primary vesicular follicles different?
The primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte with a single layer of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells. The secondary follicle consists of several layers of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells, now collectively called the membrana granulosa which begin to secrete follicular fluid.
How are primary and vestibular follicles automatically different?
The primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte with a single layer of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells. The secondary follicle consists of several layers of cuboidal/columnar follicular cells, now collectively called the membrana granulosa which begin to secrete follicular fluid.
Why is the uterus lining not shed if a woman becomes pregnant?
i don't know. can you tell me. Actual answer> The follicle or polar cells (3 unwanted cells from miosis) detach from the ovum (egg) which is ovulation. The follicle then becomes the corpus luteum which produces the hormone progesterone, this maintains the uterus lining preventing it from being shed.
What are the secretory cells of an ovarian follicle called?
The secretory cells of an ovarian follicle are called take a look at your reading (;
What cell can you see with your own eyes?
You can see human skin cells with your own eyes, especially when looking at a scrape or a blister. Skin cells are the largest type of human cells visible to the naked eye.
A primary oocyte is closely surrounded by flattened epithelial cells called?
follicular
