Learning Objectives:
• At the end of the lecture student should be
able to:
– Explain the stages of the Oogenesis.
– Explain maturation process of Oocyte before
birth and at puberty.
– Explain the hormonal control of Oogenesis.
– Explain the abnormal Oogenesis with some
anomalies like Monosomy, trisomy etc.
References:
• Ovulation:
– Secondary oocyte + corona radiata
– FSH induced
• Corpus luteum: appearance of follicle after
oocyte released at ovulation.
– Follicular and thecal cells
– Progesterone
– 14 days with no fertilization
Hormonal Control
Ch : 1, Beginning of
Human Development
Hormonal control of oogenesis
• Hypothalamus GnRH
• Pituitary LH and FSH
• FSH
– Growth of follicles
– LH receptors on follicles
• LH
– Estrogen production by follicles
– Oocyte maturation
Hormonal control of oogenesis
• Estrogen
– Proliferation of endometrium
– Thinning of cervical mucus
– Increase FSH receptors on follicles
– Release of inhibin
– LH “spike” ovulation
• Corpus luteum
– Progesterone secretion
• Uterine wall
• FSH inhibition
Clinical Correlation
• Nondisjunction at Oogenesis:
– Leads to Chromosomal abnormalities:
• Klienfelter syndrome (44 + XXY).
• Turner Syndrome (44 +XO).
