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 would happen if production of FSH by the anterior pituitary was significantly reduced?
In women, a lack of follicle stimulating hormone leads to incomplete development at puberty and poor ovarian function (primary ovarian failure). In this situation ovarian follicles do not grow properly and do not release an egg, thus leading to infertility. Since levels of follicle stimulating hormone in the bloodstream are low, this condition is called hypogonadotrophic-hypogonadism.
What does follicle stimulating hormone promote the development of?
primary follicle/oocyte
What forms part of the primary follicle in the ovary?
A primary follicle consists of a primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of enlarged cuboidal epithelium. Recall that previously, there was a primary oocyte in a primordial follicle surrounded by a thinner single layer of squamous follicular cells.
What is contained in each ovarian follicle?
various follicles one can find inside a typical ovary are primordial/primary/secondary follicles, mature vesicular, rupturing, mature-corpus luteum as well as corpus albicans
What are the cells stored in the ovaries?
The principal cells that the human ovaries produce are the Graafian Follicles.An infant ovary produces the primordial ovum.Pre-Puberty Follicle grows and changes during the Post Puberty phase.Adult ovary produces primary follicles that undergo change as per the ovulatory cycle.Aging ovary shows senile atrophy.Primary follicles undergo changes during the ovulatory cycle.Hence, you findRipening folliceMature Graafian follicle,Ruptured follicle is the Corpus hemorrhagicumOvumMature Corpus Luteum,Corpus Luteum of Pregnancy,Involuting Corpus Luteum.Dr. Ashok KopardayMedical Consultant
What surrounds a primary oocyte?
follicle cells
What stimulates maturation of a primary follicle at puberty?
testosterone
What is the process of the ovarian cycle?
The ovarian cycle happens in 6 steps. STEP 1: Formation of the primary follicles STEP 2: Formation of Secondary Follicles STEP 3: Formation of a Tertiary Follicle STEP 4: Ovulation STEP 5:Formation and Degeneration of the Corpus Luteum STEP 6:Degeneration of the Corpus Luteum beginning Roughly 12 days after ovulation (unless fertilization occurs.)
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.
What are the primordial follicles stimulated to develop into primary follicles by the hormone called?
This is called estrogen.
