ANSC 333 TAMU Female Exam 1 Review
Oocyte - ANS-gamete produced in females, "egg".
Lumen - ANS-inside of repro tract, "where everything happens"
Mucosa - ANS-a mucus-secreting membrane, lubrication. layer of epithelial cell lining
lumen.
Functions of the female reproductive system - ANS-1. produce gametes
2. produce hormones
3. support fetal growth
Submucosa - ANS-houses connective tissue, vascular, nerve endings; support mucosal
layer
Muscularis Layer - ANS-smooth; helps with partition, movement of sperm.
Made of: 1. circular muscle 2. longitudinal muscle
Serosal Layer - ANS-connective tissue surrounding reproductive tract
Uteran Horn(female repro tract) - ANS-First suspends from from spine with broad
ligaments
Mesovarian - ANS-Supports ovaries
Mesosalphinx - ANS-Supports oviduct
Mesometrium - ANS-Biggest unit, supports uterus
Genetic sex - ANS-determined at fertilization
Phenotype sex - ANS-determined at birth/parturition
broad ligament of uterus - ANS-1. Mesovarian
2. Mesosalphinx
3. Mesometrium
Metrium - ANS-uterus
, TDF (testis determining factor) - ANS-gets activated, located on y chromosome
No TDF developes - ANS-Ovaries
Sertoli cells - ANS-secrete anti-mullerian hormone(AMH)
Paramesonephric ducts - ANS-female parts degenerate due to AMH. makes
testosterone
Female Development Steps - ANS-no TDF, ovaries develop, no AMH, paramesonephric
duct develops into rest female system
Freemartin - ANS-female-born twin to a bull is sterile because of improper development
of the female anatomy. infertile because shared blood flow of fetuses shares AMH
Blood flow to ovaries - ANS-arteries
Blood flow away from ovaries - ANS-veins
Prostoglandin F2 alpha - ANS-causes luteolysis or regression of the corpus luteum if
the female is not pregnant
Prostoglandin E2 - ANS-Produced when female is pregnant
every hormone produce is - ANS-metabolized
Utero-ovarian plexus - ANS-is uterian vein wrapped around together with ovary artery.
transports PGF2a into ovary bypassing lungs. maintain simplicity. is the female version
of the males pampiniform plexus.
Ovary - ANS-*houses gametes, specifically all the gametes a female will have in her
lifetimes minus using donor eggs from flushing. makes estrogen and progesterone
Primary Ovarian Strutures - ANS-1. Primordial Follicle
2.Primary Follicle
3. Secondary Follicle
4. Developing Antral Follicle
5. Antral Follicle
6. Corpus Hemmorhagicum
