follicular

13
New cards

______promotes growth of the functional layer of the endometrium.

LH

FSH

Progesterone

Estrogen

Estrogen

14
New cards

The basic difference between spermatogenesis and oogenesis is that ________.

during spermatogenesis two more polar bodies are produced

in oogenesis, one mature ovum is produced from the parent cell, and in spermatogenesis four mature sperm are produced from the parent cell

the mature ovum is n, while the sperm is 2n

spermatogenesis involves mitosis and meiosis, but oogenesis involves meiosis only

in oogenesis, one mature ovum is produced from the parent cell, and in spermatogenesis four mature sperm are produced from the parent cell

15
New cards

What causes follicles to start growing again in a new ovarian cycle?
