| Oogenesis | begins in the developing ovaries of the female fetus |
| Primary oocytes are formed | by the 3rd month of fetal development |
| After birth the ovary | primary oocytes are already formed |
| Follicular maturation and ovulatation take place on the. | 14th day of the cycle |
| After ovulation the secondary cells of the ovulating follicle develop into | a corpus luteum |
| The Corpus leteum secretes | progesterone and estrogen |
| Menstruation occurs once every 28 days or so unless | the egg is fertilized |
| The Hypothalamus GnRH is released by | the GnRH pulse generator every 60-90 mins |
| The pituitary gland GnRH simulates gonadotropes to release | FSH and LH |
| Changes in the Basal body temperature can be used for | the detection Of Ovulation |
| Menarche | marks the onset of menstruation |
| The outer surface of the ovary is covered by | a germinal epithelium that can differentiate into primordial ova |
| Eggs are | immature primary oocytes |
| After menopause | the primordial follicle degenerate |
| Granulosa cells produce | progesterone and estrogen |
| Theca cells produce | Androstenedione and testosterone |
| The Corpus Luteum lose its secretory functions within 12 days of ovulation and turns into | corpus albicans |
| Menopause is caused by | the “ burning out” of the ovaries |
| Contraceptive pills | inhibit the preovulatory surge of LH and prevents any drop in estrogen |
| The most common cause of female infertility | is the failure to ovulate |
