What else can I help you with?
When a mature follicle ruptures during ovulation the oocyte is discharged into which organ or gland?
The mature follicle releases the oocyte into the fallopian tube during ovulation, not into an organ or gland. The fallopian tube is where fertilization typically occurs if sperm are present.
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.
Once the oocyte has been release from the follicle?
Once the oocyte has been released from the follicle, it is swept up into the fallopian tube by the fimbriae. The oocyte then begins its journey towards the uterus, where it may be fertilized by sperm if present. If fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo implants in the uterus and pregnancy begins.
What consist of the follicle cells that cling to the oocyte after ovulation?
The follicle cells that remain attached to the oocyte after ovulation form the corpus luteum. These cells produce progesterone, which helps prepare the uterus for potential implantation of a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum degenerates.
What does follicle stimulating hormone promote the development of?
primary follicle/oocyte
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 surrounds a primary oocyte?
follicle cells
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 structure in the ovary contains the developing oocyte egg?
in the Vesicular (Graafian) follicle
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.
Where the expulsion of a mature oocyte into the peritoneal cavity?
The expulsion of a mature oocyte into the peritoneal cavity is known as ovulation. During ovulation, the mature egg is released from the ovarian follicle and enters the abdominal cavity. The fimbriae of the fallopian tube help to capture the egg and transport it into the tube for potential fertilization by sperm.
The release of the oocyte from the follicle is caused by?
a surge in the level of the luteinizing (LH) hormone.
