Each of the following statements concerning the large growth of ovogenesis is true, EXCEPT

Begins at puberty

Is represented by primary oocytes leaving the dictyotene

Includes accumulation of organelles, yolk granules, and cortical granules

Is hormone-independent.

Each of the following statements concerning the ovogenesis stage of maturation is true, EXCEPT

The primary oocyte completes the first meiotic division shortly before ovulation

The secondary oocyte begins the second meiotic division at ovulation

Cytoplasm division between daughter cells is equal

The second meiotic division progresses only to metaphase when it is arrested

Each of the following statements concerning the ovary is true, EXCEPT

Is invested by a connective tissue capsule and the germinal epithelium

Its germinal epithelium is a source of new oogonia

Its cortex contains follicles, atretic bodies, and the corpus luteum

Its medulla contains connective tissue with blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves

Each of the following statements concerning the secondary ovarian follicles is true, EXCEPT

Contain the primary oocyte at large growth surrounded by the zona pellucida

Their follicular epithelium becomes stratified and is named the membrana granulosa

Fluid- filled cavities appear among their granulosa cells

Lack the theca layer.

Each of the following statements concerning the ovarian theca cells is true, EXCEPT

Are located in the theca interna of growing and mature follicles

Their cytoplasm is rich in sER, Golgi apparatus, vesicular mitochondria, and lipid drops

Their androgens are transported to the granulosa cells where they become estrogens

Their secretory activity is under FSH control

Each of the following statements concerning the ovarian mature follicle is true, EXCEPT

Represents the earliest stage of follicular development

Bulges on the ovary surface because of its large size

Its oocyte is surrounded by the zona pellucida and the corona radiata

Its oocyte is acentrically positioned at the cumulus oophorum

Each of the following statements concerning the ovulation is true, EXCEPT:

it is controlled by the LH and FSH peaks

The secondary oocyte at metaphase II leaves the ovary and enters the oviduct

Before ovulation the stigma disappears

The oocyte with its surrounding leaves the ovary via this gap.

Each of the following statements concerning the corpus luteum activity and its hormonal regulation is true, EXCEPT:

The corpus luteum formation is controlled by LH;

Mature corpus luteum secretes progesterone

The corpus luteum secretion is controlled by prolactine (LTH)

High blood progesterone levels stimulate the cyclic development of ovarian follicles

Each of the following statements concerning the ovarian corpus luteum is true, EXCEPT

The corpus luteum of pregnancy reaches the size of 2–3 cm and retains its functional capacity for about half a year;

The corpus luteum of menstruation remains active for 28 days;

The granulosa lutein cells are large, pale, and centrally located

The corpus luteum undergoes involution after pregnancy or menstruation and is replaced by the corpus albicans.

Each of the following statements concerning the ovarian follicle atresia is true, EXCEPT:

Oocyte degeneration appears later than degenerative changes in the follicular wall

The oocyte undergoes degeneration and autolysis

Results in the corpus luteum formation.
