Specialized structure in the ovary that contain oocyte?
Ovarian follicles
What is the Function of Graafian follicles?
Graafian follicles are mature ovarian follicles that contain a developing oocyte. Their function is to produce estrogen and prepare the egg for ovulation. When the Graafian follicle ruptures during ovulation, it releases the egg into the fallopian tube for possible fertilization.
How many immature follicles are in the ovary at puberty?
At puberty, the ovary has around 300,000 to 400,000 immature follicles. These follicles contain the oocyte (egg) and supporting cells responsible for its development. Over a woman's reproductive years, most of these follicles will undergo atresia (degeneration) with only a small number ovulating during menstrual cycles.
What are tube like pockets of epidermal cells that extend into the dermis?
Hair follicles are tube-like structures that extend from the epidermis into the dermis. They are comprised of epidermal cells and contain the hair shaft.
What is the role of FSH in female reproductive system?
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) is responsible for stimulating the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles in the female reproductive system. These follicles contain the eggs that will be released during ovulation. FSH also plays a role in the production of estrogen by the developing follicles.
What is the ovary special parts called?
The special parts of the ovary are called ovarian follicles. These follicles are structures that contain the developing eggs and are essential for the production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
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 kind of tissue is a human ovary?
A human ovary is primarily composed of ovarian tissue, which consists of ovarian follicles, stroma, and blood vessels. Ovarian follicles contain the oocytes (immature eggs) and support cells necessary for egg development and hormone production.
What skin does not contain sebaceous glands?
Thick skin found on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet have no sebaceous glands. The glands are found with hair follicles.
Why does the ovarian cortex appear granular?
The granular appearance of the ovarian cortex is due to the presence of numerous ovarian follicles at different stages of development. These follicles contain immature eggs (oocytes) surrounded by supporting cells, giving the cortex a granular texture.
What are the round structures in the ovary that you see under the microscope?
The round structures in the ovary that you see under the microscope are called ovarian follicles. These follicles contain developing eggs and are the basic functional unit of the ovary. Each follicle consists of an oocyte (immature egg cell) surrounded by different layers of cells.
Are the cells of your hair follicles 2n or n?
2n === Hair follicle cells are standard somatic cells that are diploid; having a full complement of 46 chromosomes.
