Female Reproductive System

Light Microscopy Slide 140: Germinal epithelium, tunica albuginea, cortex, medulla, oocyte, follicular cells, surrounding connective tissue, primordial follicles, oocyte, follicular cells. Slide 141: Observe with the naked eye. Graafian follicles, Slide 145: Infudibular portion, fimbriae, ampulla, interstitial portion. Using your 4X objective, observe the two sections of fallopian tube (ciliated cells and secretory cells). Slide 149: Atresia of follicles, note their glassy membranes. Identify a corpus albicans. Slide 150: Germinal epithelium, tunica albuginea, cortex, medulla, oocyte, follicular cells, surrounding connective tissue, primordial follicles, oocyte, follicular cells,maturing follicles, primary follicle, granulose cells, stratum granulosum, zona pellucida, theca folliculi, follicular fluid, secondary follicle, theca interna, theca externa, antral follicle, membrane granulose, cumulus oophorus, corona radiata. Observe the corpus luteum with the naked eye. With your 10X objective, observe the central fibrin clot and abundant blood vessels. At a higher power, note that the cells have become quite large and eosinophilic, and often contain lipid droplets. Also find theca lutein cells. Identify a corpus albicans. Slide 166: Note that smooth muscle arrangement in the myometrium is complex, and with no distinct pattern (10X). Find the two distinct zones, sona basalis, andzona functionalis. Also find the menstrual phase, early proliferative phase, late proliferated phase, and the secretory phase. Slide 184: (Human cervix) Endocervix, cervical mucus, and external os. Slide 159: Infudibular portion, fimbriae, ampulla, interstitial portion. Using your 4X objective, observe the two sections of fallopian tube (ciliated cells and secretory cells). Slide 230: (Mammary gland) Note the lack of glandular development and the abundance of fat cells in this dormant mammary gland. Slide 231: (Mammary gland) Note the secretory cell development theat occurs during pregnancy in preparation for lactation following birth of the offspring. Slide 232: Germinal epithelium, tunica albuginea, cortex, medulla, oocyte, follicular cells, surrounding connective tissue, primordial follicles, oocyte, follicular cells. Atresia of follicles, note their glassy membranes. Observe the corpus luteum with the naked eye. With your 10X objective, observe the central fibrin clot and abundant blood vessels. At a higher power, note that the cells have become quite large and eosinophilic, and often contain lipid droplets. Also find theca lutein cells. Slide 233: Infudibular portion, fimbriae, ampulla, interstitial portion. Slide 234: (human cervix) Endocervix, cervical mucus, and external os. Slide 235: (Human vagina) germinal layer, parabasal cells, intermediate cells, and superficial squamous cells. Note that there are no glands in the vagina. UT DEMO slide 177: The Uterus. Early secretory endometrium. Electron Microscopy EM 24: Note the features of a human granulose lutein cell, as well as the mitochondrial matrix (it contains unusual osmiophilic lipid inclusions). Contrast this cell to the follicular cells surrounding the oocyte in EM 25. EM 25: Oocyte cytoplasm containing crystalloid, zona pellucida, cuboidal follicular cells, thick basement membrane of the follicular cells, cells in the surrounding stroma. EM 26: Microvilli projection on the maternal surface are long and numerous to enhance exchange of nutrients and waste products.
