  1. OVARIAN CYCLE By Dr Samina Anjum

  2. SECTION OF OVARY

  3. Females undergo regular monthly reproductive/sexual cycles commencing at puberty. • Ovarian cycle • Menstrual cycle

  4. These sexual cycles involves the activity of: Function: To prepare the reproductive system for pregnancy Hypothalamus Pituitary gland Ovary Uterus Uterine tubes Vagina Mammary glands

  5. OVARIAN CYCLE No effect on growth of primordial follicle to primary follicle 15-20 primary follicles Atretic Corpus atreticum

  6. Functions: ESTROGENS Prepares the uterine endometrium to enter into proliferative phase Thinning of cervical mucus Stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete LH FSH Necessary for the growth of primary, secondary & tertiary follicles Stimulates maturation of granulosa cells (GDF9) Estrogens is Produced by: theca interna cells anderostendione + testosterone granulosa cells convert them into estrone & 17B-estradiol.

  7. Cont… PROGESTERONE Brings secretory changes in the uterine endometrium Prepares the uterus for implantation of embryo LH Surge • Elevates the concentration of MPF causing oocyte to complete Meiosis I and initiate Meiosis II. • Stimulates production of Progesterone by the follicular cells (luteinization) • Causing follicular rupture & ovulation Arrested in metaphase When secondary follicle is mature, LH surge induces a preovulatory growth phase

  8. OVULATION(Release of secondary oocyte) • Prior to ovulation secondary follicle grows rapidly (25mm) under influence of FSH & LH • At the same time abrupt increase in LH causes Meiosis I to complete and follicle to enter preovulatory stage, Meiosis II initiated and arrested in metaphase 3hrs prior to ovulation

  9. Cont… • Increase in volume & pressure of follicular fluid • Overlying ovarian cortex become thin & translucent • Surface of ovary bulge locally: stigma formation • High concentration of LH, increased collegenase activity that digests collagen fibers around follicle and increased PG levels increases muscular contractions of ovarian wall • Oocyte along with granulosa cells break free (ovulation) . • Rearrangement of cumulus oophorus cells around ZP forms corona radiata.

  10. OVULATION • Surgeons who were performing hysterectomy witnessed spontaneous ovulation and were lucky to record it. Ovulation was not an explosive event as it is assumed but rather a 15 min long and smooth release of an egg.

  11. OVULATION SYMPTOMS • Middle pain (Mittelschmerz):   • Rise in basal body temperature

  12. Corpus Luteum (LH) • After ovulation, Follicle collapses • Granulosa and theca interna cells hypertrophy, leutenized & vasularized • Secretes Progesterone some estrogens. • Causes uterine mucosa to enter into progestational phase.

  13. OOCYTE TRANSPORT • Sweeping movements of fimbriae • Rhythmic muscular contractions of tube • Motion of cilia in tubal mucosa • Fluid currents Fertilized oocyte reaches uterine lumen in 3-4 days

  14. Corpus albicans (Absence of HCG) •  Latin for "whitening body“ is the regressed form of the corpus luteum. As the corpus luteum is being broken down by macrophages, fibroblasts lay down type I collagen forming the corpus albicans. The remains of the corpus albicans may persist as a scar on the surface of the ovary.
