Cortex | |
Stroma | |
Germinal epitherlium | |
Theca externa | |
Theca interna | |
Tunica albuginea |
Question 4 |
In a mature ovary there is a substantial layer of dense connective tissue found just below the surface layer from question 3. What is the name of this dense connective tissue layer?
Cortex | |
Stroma | |
Germinal epithelium | |
Theca externa | |
Theca interna | |

Question 5 |
What cells migrate from the wall of the yolk sac into the indifferent gonad of the developing embryo during the 4th week of development?
Germinal cells | |
Primordial germ cells | |
Primary oocytes | |
Leydig cells |
Question 6 |
In what phase of do the primary oocytes arrest in around the 5th month of fetal development?
Metaphase of meiosis I | |
Metaphase of meiosis II | |
Metaphase of mitosis I | |
Prophase of meiosis I | |
Prophase of meiosis II |
Question 7 |
How long are the primary oocytes arrested in the phase from the previous question?
Until month 8 of fetal development | |
Until fertilization | |
Until ovulation | |
Until birth |
Question 8 |
In what part of the ovary contains a large number of primordial follicles?
Cortex | |
Hilum | |
Medulla |
Question 9 |
What is the main hormone that helps primordial follicles develop into primary follicles?
Luteinizing hormone | |
Estrogen | |
Human chorionic gonadotropin | |
Follicle-stimulating hormone | |
Estriol |
Question 10 |
In a primary follicle what is the name of the layer that forms between the layer of granulosa cells and the developing oocyte?
Cumulus oophorus | |
Theca externa | |
Theca interna | |
Zona pellucida |
Question 11 |
What hormone does the theca interna secrete?
Luteinizing hormone | |
Estriol | |
17β Estradiol Hint: The theca enterna does not secrete 17β Estradiol; however, the theca interna is indirectly responsible for the production of 17β estradiol by supplying the neighboring granulosa cells with androstenedione that with the help of the enzyme aromatase can be used as a substrate for 17β estradiol. | |
Androstendione |
