Oogenesis and formation of primordial follicles - anatomy female reproduction tract

3 important questions on Oogenesis and formation of primordial follicles - anatomy female reproduction tract

A uterus duplex and bicornuate?

There are also different types found in the mammals --> duplex (two cervices, two vaginas), bicornuate (twee uterine horns, one cervix)

Anatomy and function of the ovaries (eierstokken)

  • In abdominal cavity on both sides of uterus
  • a vascularized structure, because it is a endocrine  structure
  • Functions:
    • storage of oocytes (in follicles)
    • development of oocyte to ‘mature’ oocyte (oogenesis and folliculogenesis)
    • hormone production (oestrogen, progesterone, androgens) -in abdominal cavity on both sides of uterus

Uterus of a female and the layers?

  • Progestron, the mucosa layer is thin (the endometrium is thinner).
  • Estrogen, leads to a much thicker endometrium layer

The function of the uterine glands:
All mammalian uteri contain glands in the endometrium that synthesize or transport and secrete substances essential for survival and development of the conceptus (embryo/fetus and associated extraembryonic membranes)
