What has the author RHF HUNTER written?
R.H.F HUNTER has written: 'PHYSIOLOGY OF THE GRAAFIAN FOLLICLE AND OVULATION'
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.
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 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 are the stages of follicle development?
Follicle development occurs in several stages: primordial follicle, primary follicle, secondary follicle, preantral follicle, antral follicle, and mature (Graafian) follicle. Each stage involves specific changes in the follicle and oocyte as they mature towards ovulation.
What catches the product of the Graafian follicle as it leaves the ovary?
The fimbriae of the fallopian tube catch the product of the Graafian follicle as it leaves the ovary. The fimbriae are finger-like projections at the end of the fallopian tube that sweep over the ovary to capture the released egg during ovulation.
What is a mature ovarian follicle?
Graafian follicle
What is the other name of Graafian follicle?
Cecil Mcbottletop
What ruptures on the ovarian cortex each month?
Follicles containing eggs rupture on the ovarian cortex each month during ovulation. When a follicle ruptures, it releases the mature egg into the fallopian tube for potential fertilization.
What structure in the ovary contains the developing oocyte egg?
in the Vesicular (Graafian) follicle
What do Follicle stimulating hormones and Luteinizing hormones do?
FSH stimulates spermatogenesis and development of graafian follicles.LH stimulates secretion of sex hormones,emmits ova and turn graafian follicle into corpus luteum.
What is the major secretory product of the graafian follicle is?
The major secretory product of the Graafian follicle is estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and in the maintenance of female reproductive health.
