Female Reproductive Cycle | Ovulation
Resumo
TLDRCette vidéo explique le cycle reproductif féminin, mettant l'accent sur le cycle ovarien et son interaction avec le cycle menstruel. Le processus commence dans l'hypothalamus, où des hormones spécifiques sont sécrétées pour stimuler l'hypophyse antérieure à libérer la FSH et la LH. Ces hormones jouent un rôle crucial dans le développement des follicules ovariens et l'ovulation. Au fil du cycle, de nombreux changements hormonaux se produisent, notamment la production d'œstrogènes et de progestérone, qui préparent l'utérus pour une grossesse éventuelle.

Dans cette vidéo, nous discutons du cycle reproductif féminin, en soulignant l'interconnexion entre le cycle ovarien et le cycle menstruel, et en commençant par le rôle critique des hormones sécrétées par l'hypothalamus, notamment l'hormone de libération des gonadotrophines (GnRH).
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
Nous traitons ensuite de la transformation des ovogonies en follicules primordiaux durant la pré-puberté, et comment, malgré leur état diploïde, ces follicules restent en prophase I de la méiose jusqu'à la puberté, où des androgènes locaux stimulent leur conversion en follicules primaires.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
Le passage de follicules primordiaux à follicules primaires nécessite une stimulation par l'hormone folliculo-stimulante (FSH) qui provoque la prolifération des cellules folliculaires et la production d'œstrogènes, tout en restant à l'état diploïde et bloqué en prophase I.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
Au fur et à mesure que les follicules passent de primaires à secondaires, FSH et hormone lutéinisante (LH) continuent d'encourager la prolifération des cellules granulosa et la formation de fluide folliculaire, tandis que tous les follicules sont encore à l'état d'ovocytes primaires.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
Le follicule de Graaf est atteint lorsque le follicule secondaire devient un ovocyte secondaire en métaphase II après la méiose I, signalant la transition vers la phase folliculaire qui se produit généralement entre le jour 1 et le jour 14 de la période menstruelle.
- 00:25:00 - 00:33:59
Enfin, au pic de l'hormone LH, l'ovulation se produit avec l'éjection de l'ovocyte et la transformation du follicule de Graaf en corps jaune, qui produit de la progestérone pendant la phase lutéale, représentant ainsi la fin du cycle ovarien et préparant le terrain pour le cycle menstruel.

Vídeo de perguntas e respostas
Qu'est-ce que le cycle ovarien ?
Le cycle ovarien est le processus qui régule le développement des follicules ovariens et l'ovulation chez la femme.
Quel est le rôle des hormones FSH et LH ?
FSH stimule le développement des follicules ovariens, tandis que LH déclenche l'ovulation et la formation du corps jaune.
Que se passe-t-il lors de l'ovulation ?
L'ovulation est le processus par lequel l'ovocyte secondaire est libéré du follicule ovarien.
Qu'est-ce que le corps jaune ?
Le corps jaune est la structure qui se forme après l'ovulation et qui produit de la progestérone.
Quel est le rôle de la progestérone ?
La progestérone prépare l'utérus à l'implantation d'un embryon et maintient la grossesse.
Quand se produit la phase lutéale ?
La phase lutéale se produit après l'ovulation, environ du jour 15 au jour 28 du cycle menstruel.
Comment les cycles ovarien et menstruel sont-ils liés ?
Les cycles ovarien et menstruel sont interconnectés, car les hormones ovariennes influencent la préparation de l'utérus pour une éventuelle grossesse.

- 00:00:06iron engineers in this video we're going
- 00:00:08to talk about the female reproductive
- 00:00:10cycle now in this video we're going to
- 00:00:12talk about the auditory cycle and we're
- 00:00:14going to discuss the menstrual cycle and
- 00:00:16see how these two cycles are
- 00:00:17interconnected and intertwined because
- 00:00:19that's really the crucial point not just
- 00:00:21looking at one cycle and all it does but
- 00:00:22looking at how these two cycles are
- 00:00:24really really intertwined together okay
- 00:00:26before we do that let's go ahead and
- 00:00:28start where this whole pathway begins
- 00:00:32everything upon which these cycles are
- 00:00:34working are dependent upon the hormones
- 00:00:36produced by the hypothalamus okay so
- 00:00:38let's start up here in the hypothalamus
- 00:00:40so here's your hypothalamus and in the
- 00:00:42hypothalamus you have two different
- 00:00:44special nuclei that are secreting
- 00:00:47specific types of hormones
- 00:00:48so for example let's say that this red
- 00:00:50one over here this red group of nuclei
- 00:00:52we're going to call these guys we're
- 00:00:55going to call them the pre optic nucleus
- 00:01:01and then these orange ones over here
- 00:01:05we're going to specifically call these
- 00:01:07guys we're going to call these ones the
- 00:01:09arcuate nucleus okay so we've got the
- 00:01:15arcuate nucleus which is the orange one
- 00:01:17and then we got the pre optic nucleus
- 00:01:18which is these red ones what these guys
- 00:01:21are doing is they're secreting a very
- 00:01:22important hormone that hormone is called
- 00:01:25look at this what they secrete they
- 00:01:28secrete what's called go natto tropen
- 00:01:31releasing hormone what ganado tropen
- 00:01:35releasing hormone does is it comes down
- 00:01:36here into the anterior pituitary and in
- 00:01:38the anterior pituitary there's these
- 00:01:41cells called gonadotropin these ganado
- 00:01:44Tropes once they're stimulated by
- 00:01:47grenada trope and releasing hormone they
- 00:01:50secrete two chemicals into the
- 00:01:52bloodstream
- 00:01:52look at these two chemicals that they're
- 00:01:54releasing this one is called FSH and
- 00:01:58this one is called LH FSH stands for
- 00:02:03follicle stimulating hormone and la
- 00:02:05stands for luteinizing hormone and
- 00:02:07they're going to come down here and are
- 00:02:08going to work in the ovary but before I
- 00:02:11show what they're doing in the ovary we
- 00:02:12need to discuss
- 00:02:13real quick all right so whenever a
- 00:02:16female's born so at birth she has these
- 00:02:19special types of stem cells and these
- 00:02:22stem cells are called oh oh go nians
- 00:02:27okay so an algo neum now I'll go Neum is
- 00:02:30a stem cell two diploid stem cells what
- 00:02:32does it mean when it's diploid it means
- 00:02:34it's 2n right 46 chromosomes 23 of the
- 00:02:38maternal 23 paternal what happens is
- 00:02:41once the female is actually born her
- 00:02:44Oleg onehans she'll have all the Oleg
- 00:02:46onehans are stem cells that she'll ever
- 00:02:48need what happens is while the child is
- 00:02:52growing up before puberty these o Ogoni
- 00:02:56ins are getting converted into this
- 00:03:00follicle right here you see this
- 00:03:01follicle right here this follicle right
- 00:03:03there is actually specifically called a
- 00:03:06primordial follicle so what is this one
- 00:03:09right here called it's called a prai
- 00:03:12more deal follicle and again when is
- 00:03:19this occurring when are you shifting
- 00:03:21from an elegant which is a diploid into
- 00:03:23a primordial follicle when is this
- 00:03:25happening which is still by the way this
- 00:03:27one here is still diploid so this
- 00:03:29primordial follicle is still diploid but
- 00:03:33when is this occurring this is occurring
- 00:03:35during the childhood pre-puberty so this
- 00:03:38is occurring pre-puberty so when is this
- 00:03:40occurring again guys
- 00:03:41pre puberty but then what happens is
- 00:03:48when the female reaches puberty and she
- 00:03:50starts undergoing these specific
- 00:03:51ovulatory cycles so now she's hit
- 00:03:54puberty and she has her primordial
- 00:03:55follicles by the time she hits puberty
- 00:03:56she has tons and tons of primordial
- 00:03:58follicles but then look what happens
- 00:04:01once she hits puberty there's specific
- 00:04:04local chemicals local chemicals so what
- 00:04:07kind of local chemicals like local
- 00:04:09androgens so again what type of
- 00:04:10chemicals here like specific types of
- 00:04:12localized androgens these localized
- 00:04:17androgens not FSH not LH these localized
- 00:04:21androgens are stimulating some of these
- 00:04:24primordial follicles at puberty to start
- 00:04:26shifting and turning into this next
- 00:04:28follicle right here okay so let me
- 00:04:30repeat this one more time when you're
- 00:04:31born you have all the Oleg O'Neill's
- 00:04:33will ever need which is a diploid stem
- 00:04:35cell during that pre-puberty time period
- 00:04:38what happens is you're Oleg onehans get
- 00:04:40converted into primordial follicles
- 00:04:43which is still too in meaning is diploid
- 00:04:45then what happens is it's going to get
- 00:04:48stimulated by the time we hit puberty
- 00:04:50all the way until you reach menopause
- 00:04:52right there's going to be localized
- 00:04:54androgens that are going to stimulate
- 00:04:55the conversion of some of the primordial
- 00:04:57follicles into what is this one I hear
- 00:05:00this one right here is called a primary
- 00:05:03follicle so this one right here is
- 00:05:07called a primary follicle
- 00:05:10okay so we got pre-puberty all the way
- 00:05:12to this guy which the primordial
- 00:05:13primordial to a primary follicle one
- 00:05:17more thing I told you that this is
- 00:05:18diploid right it's actually frozen in a
- 00:05:21specific step of what's called meiosis
- 00:05:24it's actually frozen specifically in
- 00:05:27prophase one so again this primordial
- 00:05:29follicle it's diploid but what happens
- 00:05:32is getting ready to start undergoing
- 00:05:33meiosis one but it's frozen in prophase
- 00:05:37one okay
- 00:05:38now we're at the primary follicle what
- 00:05:41happens is you see this FSH right here
- 00:05:44this FSH is super critical for this step
- 00:05:47right here going from this primary to
- 00:05:49this next one here let's actually label
- 00:05:51all of these so they're for example this
- 00:05:53is a primary follicle how would you
- 00:05:54describe a primary follicle it's a
- 00:05:56primary oocytes primary oocytes which
- 00:05:59means it hasn't undergone meiosis one
- 00:06:01still frozen in prophase one with a
- 00:06:05single layer around it of cuboidal or
- 00:06:08columnar like follicle cells so again a
- 00:06:11primary follicle is a primary oocytes
- 00:06:14meaning it hasn't undergone meiosis one
- 00:06:17and for finish meiosis one and around it
- 00:06:20has a single layer of cuboidal or
- 00:06:22columnar like epithelial cells that's a
- 00:06:24primary then after that look what
- 00:06:26happens it starts proliferating and
- 00:06:27makes multiple types of these granulosa
- 00:06:30cells down these cuboid or columnar this
- 00:06:33one right here is called a early
- 00:06:36secondary
- 00:06:39follicle let's explain something here
- 00:06:43before we go into each one of these this
- 00:06:45primary follicle it gets converted into
- 00:06:47this early secondary follicle how FSH
- 00:06:50look what FSH does FSH stimulates this
- 00:06:53step right here look what he does FSH
- 00:06:56comes right here and he stimulates this
- 00:06:59step of converting a primary follicle to
- 00:07:01an early secondary follicle so what's
- 00:07:03actually happening in this step look
- 00:07:04what happens in the cuboidal cells they
- 00:07:06went under will go with a underwent
- 00:07:07proliferation so we went from just a
- 00:07:09single layer to multiple layers that's
- 00:07:12one effective FSH is multiple layers of
- 00:07:14granulosa cells what else happened a fan
- 00:07:18stage also stimulates this Oh site to
- 00:07:20produce this pink glycoprotein membrane
- 00:07:23around that what does that pink like a
- 00:07:25protein membrane around it called it's
- 00:07:26called the zona pellucida
- 00:07:28okay so FSH is stimulating the
- 00:07:31proliferation of these follicle cells to
- 00:07:34multiple layers it's also stimulating
- 00:07:36this actual OA site to produce a
- 00:07:38glycoprotein layer called the zona
- 00:07:41pellucida and look what else that's
- 00:07:43causing the production off look what
- 00:07:45else is coming out of this so these
- 00:07:47cells right here when they're stimulated
- 00:07:48by this FSH look what they're producing
- 00:07:52they're producing estrogen okay so let's
- 00:08:00go ahead and recap this one more time
- 00:08:01what's this FSH doing to the primary
- 00:08:02follicle it's stimulating these primary
- 00:08:05follicles to undergo replication make
- 00:08:07multiple layers stimulates it to produce
- 00:08:09a glycoprotein membrane around it called
- 00:08:11the zona pellucida and it also causes
- 00:08:14the production of estrogen
- 00:08:16okay what about LH s LH involved in this
- 00:08:19step yes he is you see these like a
- 00:08:22maroon violet like cells around it
- 00:08:26those are called thecal cells fecal
- 00:08:28cells let me show you what the equal
- 00:08:30cells are actually doing these stinkin
- 00:08:31cells are pretty cool
- 00:08:32look at these stinkin cells let's say we
- 00:08:35zoom in on a fecal cell here here's our
- 00:08:37thecal cell and what happens is the
- 00:08:40granulosa cells are right next to this
- 00:08:43fecal cell so if we have a granulosa
- 00:08:47cell right adjacent to it look what's
- 00:08:49happening here
- 00:08:50this is the beauty of it LH is acting on
- 00:08:55this fecal cell so it's acting on this
- 00:08:58dqo cell and what's happening in the
- 00:09:00steagle cells is taking cholesterol and
- 00:09:05converting it into antigens but who's
- 00:09:11stimulating this LH LH is actually
- 00:09:14stimulating the conversion of
- 00:09:15cholesterol into antigen like and
- 00:09:17Rothstein's ion but then look at what's
- 00:09:19right next to this dqo cell what's right
- 00:09:21next to him these green cells these
- 00:09:23granulosa cells look what happens to
- 00:09:26these antigens they move right into this
- 00:09:29cell and they eventually get converted
- 00:09:31into estrogen but who's stimulating this
- 00:09:37mechanism this is the job of FSH so FSH
- 00:09:44is actually stimulating what he's
- 00:09:47stimulating the conversion of these
- 00:09:49androgens that came from the thecal
- 00:09:50cells into the granulosa cells and he
- 00:09:54converts it into estrogen that's
- 00:09:55beautiful so FSH is stimulating the
- 00:09:59production of estrogen but how you need
- 00:10:01the presence of luteinizing hormone so
- 00:10:05luteinizing hormone is actually going to
- 00:10:06be there how because it's going to
- 00:10:09stimulate these fecal cells and tell
- 00:10:11these fecal cells to produce androgens
- 00:10:13and those antigens will go into the
- 00:10:15granulosa cell and FSH will stimulate
- 00:10:17specific enzymes like aroma taste
- 00:10:19enzymes that convert it into estrogen so
- 00:10:22it's really important and this step here
- 00:10:26okay
- 00:10:27very very nice so now let's go to the
- 00:10:29next one early secondary follicle FSH
- 00:10:32and LH are also stimulating this step -
- 00:10:34so in the same way who else is going to
- 00:10:36be stimulating this step right here
- 00:10:37you're still going to have FSH
- 00:10:40stimulating this step and who's going to
- 00:10:42be stimulating the thecal cells in this
- 00:10:43step you're still going to have
- 00:10:46luteinizing hormone stimulating the
- 00:10:50conversion of the early secondary to
- 00:10:52this next one look what else it does so
- 00:10:54not only does it cause the actual
- 00:10:55proliferation again of the actual cell
- 00:10:57layers but look what else it does it
- 00:11:00starts telling these granulosa cells to
- 00:11:05start producing follicular fluid
- 00:11:08what is follicular fluid look at the
- 00:11:10fluid is actually primarily consisting
- 00:11:12of what's called hyaluronic acid so it's
- 00:11:16not only causing again the proliferation
- 00:11:18of these a granulosa cells not only
- 00:11:21causing the production of estrogen it's
- 00:11:24not only causing them to proliferate
- 00:11:25even more but it's also causing them to
- 00:11:27produce follicular fluid which is rich
- 00:11:30in hyaluronic acid so now we produce
- 00:11:33these pockets of follicular fluid who's
- 00:11:35responsible for producing these fat
- 00:11:36pockets a follicular fluid FSH so FSH is
- 00:11:40doing what he's causing multiple layers
- 00:11:41of granulosa cells to be made right so
- 00:11:43in this step what's happening to these
- 00:11:45granular cells you're making more what
- 00:11:47else is happening they're producing
- 00:11:48pockets of follicular fluid which is
- 00:11:50rich in hyaluronic acid what else would
- 00:11:53be happening same thing that happened in
- 00:11:54this step the production of estrogen so
- 00:11:58you're also going to be producing in
- 00:11:59this step you're going to be producing
- 00:12:01estrogen so now that we know how this
- 00:12:05estrogen is being produced with a thecal
- 00:12:06cells the LH is stimulated in thecal
- 00:12:08cells to convert cholesterol to
- 00:12:10androgens then FSH is taking those
- 00:12:12androgens that move into the granulosa
- 00:12:14cells and stimulating their conversion
- 00:12:16into estrogen we don't need this anymore
- 00:12:17so now we know this okay
- 00:12:20so again what is FSH doing to this early
- 00:12:23secondary follicle as it converts into
- 00:12:25this next one it's causing proliferation
- 00:12:28pockets of follicular fluid and the
- 00:12:30production of estrogen oh man so
- 00:12:36beautiful should make so much sense guys
- 00:12:37okay so primary to early secondary FSH
- 00:12:41and LH is stimulating early secondary
- 00:12:43into this next one where there's
- 00:12:45multiple layers pockets a follicular
- 00:12:46fluid and estrogen production this next
- 00:12:49one is actually called a late
- 00:12:53secondary follicle
- 00:12:55you can tell that because it has more
- 00:12:57layers in the early secondary and it has
- 00:13:00pockets of follicular fluid and to
- 00:13:02continue to keep going with this you
- 00:13:04know I told you that the primordial
- 00:13:06follicle was again a primary oocytes the
- 00:13:09primary follicle is a primary oocyte the
- 00:13:12early secondary father
- 00:13:13still a primary oocytes and the late
- 00:13:16secondary follicle is still a primary
- 00:13:18oocytes what does that mean it means it
- 00:13:21hasn't finished meiosis 1 okay it's
- 00:13:25getting ready to though alright so now
- 00:13:29look what happens this late secondary
- 00:13:30follicle it's going to get more
- 00:13:32stimulation from who from FSH and LH so
- 00:13:36FSH is going to continue to stimulate
- 00:13:38what the proliferation of the cells the
- 00:13:41pockets of follicular fluid and what's
- 00:13:43the result of actually this you're still
- 00:13:45going to produce more estrogen okay who
- 00:13:52else is stimulating this pathway too
- 00:13:53it's also going to be the presence of
- 00:13:56luteinizing hormone luteinizing hormones
- 00:13:59actually going to be stimulating the
- 00:14:00thecal cells to produce androgens
- 00:14:01antigens are going to be converted into
- 00:14:03estrogens by the granulosa cells with
- 00:14:05the presence of FSH now look what
- 00:14:08happens here it's stimulating this late
- 00:14:10secondary follicle into this next one
- 00:14:11but you see how there was just these
- 00:14:13little pockets of follicular fluid FSH
- 00:14:16keeps stimulating these granulosa cells
- 00:14:17to produce more and more and more
- 00:14:19powerful Aquila fluid till eventually
- 00:14:21these two pockets they come together and
- 00:14:24they coalesce and make one big fluid
- 00:14:27filled cavity you see this one right
- 00:14:29there
- 00:14:29that's your fluid filled cavity this
- 00:14:32fluid filled cavity here which is going
- 00:14:33to be rich in follicular fluid and again
- 00:14:35that follicular fluid is hyaluronic acid
- 00:14:37this pocket big big huge Lake of
- 00:14:41follicular fluid that is called the
- 00:14:43antrum so this big blue structure right
- 00:14:46here is now called the antrum and what
- 00:14:49is that antrum how is that answerin
- 00:14:51formed again FSH is stimulating these
- 00:14:53granulosa cells to produce those
- 00:14:54follicular fluid right rich in
- 00:14:56hyaluronic acid and eventually those
- 00:14:58pockets of follicular fluid gets so big
- 00:15:00that eventually they come together they
- 00:15:02coalesce and make one big fluid filled
- 00:15:05cavity called the antrum okay next thing
- 00:15:09you see how this is a late secondary
- 00:15:11follicle this one is called a graphene
- 00:15:14or vesicular or tertiary follicle but
- 00:15:21watch this you know how I've been
- 00:15:23telling you the whole time that again if
- 00:15:26we come back over here
- 00:15:27primordial follicle was what it was a
- 00:15:31primary oocytes right that here it was a
- 00:15:33primary oocytes what about a primary
- 00:15:37follicle it was a primary oocyte what
- 00:15:40about an early secondary follicle it was
- 00:15:41a primary oocyte what about a late
- 00:15:43secondary follicle it was a primary
- 00:15:44oocytes what about a graafian a graafian
- 00:15:47follicle is actually going to be a
- 00:15:49secondary oocytes and before so it
- 00:15:53actually underwent meiosis 1
- 00:15:54so what's meiosis let's actually show
- 00:15:56you what meiosis is up here so real
- 00:15:58quickly if I have a diploid stem cell
- 00:16:01right a parent stem cell and what
- 00:16:04happens is they undergo meiosis 1 as the
- 00:16:06result of meiosis 1 I make two haploid
- 00:16:09daughter cells then those two haploid
- 00:16:12daughter cells they undergo meiosis two
- 00:16:15and produce two more haploid daughter
- 00:16:19cells for a total of four haploid
- 00:16:21daughter cells all right so when you're
- 00:16:23going from this diploid stem cell to
- 00:16:26these two haploid daughter cells this is
- 00:16:28called meiosis 1 meiosis 1 all right so
- 00:16:35this is where you had that primordial
- 00:16:36follicle it's still undergoing my it
- 00:16:39hasn't completely finished meiosis when
- 00:16:40it gets converted into a primary
- 00:16:42follicle primary follicle is converted
- 00:16:45into an early secondary early secondary
- 00:16:46to a late secondary and then look look
- 00:16:48what happens to this late secondary as a
- 00:16:50result he undergoes meiosis one and
- 00:16:52produces a haploid daughter cells and
- 00:16:56then another haploid daughter cells this
- 00:16:58right here one of them actually becomes
- 00:17:00what's called a polar body and he
- 00:17:02undergoes degradation and then he before
- 00:17:04after he'll actually can undergo meiosis
- 00:17:06two and produce polar bodies like a
- 00:17:08third and fourth these want to go
- 00:17:09degradation also this one I hear it's
- 00:17:12your secondary oocyte so this one here
- 00:17:14is called your secondary oocytes go
- 00:17:17undergo meiosis two but he doesn't
- 00:17:19finish it he gets stuck in metaphase 2
- 00:17:22so this graafian follicle is the
- 00:17:25secondary oocyte frozen in metaphase 2
- 00:17:31okay so we're at that point right now
- 00:17:33what was this second step here the
- 00:17:36second step when you're going from these
- 00:17:37two haploids to four half words is
- 00:17:40called me
- 00:17:41closest to all right so we're at that
- 00:17:47point now okay so the graafian follicle
- 00:17:50is a secondary oocytes so going from
- 00:17:52this late secondary to this graafian I
- 00:17:53underwent meiosis one and produced a
- 00:17:55secondary oocytes
- 00:17:56in metaphase 2 I also produced estrogen
- 00:17:59I formed this lake of follicular fluid
- 00:18:01and I still have my zona pellucida and I
- 00:18:04have all these granulosa cells oh real
- 00:18:06quick if I were to kind of highlight it
- 00:18:08you see these cells these group of cells
- 00:18:09want to kind of highlight it in blue
- 00:18:10here going all the way around them these
- 00:18:13cells right here that are just directly
- 00:18:14wrapping around this secondary oocytes
- 00:18:17rose in a metaphase to these green cells
- 00:18:20those green cells right they are called
- 00:18:22corona radiata cells okay so they're
- 00:18:28just the actual group of cells that are
- 00:18:30directly wrapping around that second
- 00:18:32areola site now we need to talk about
- 00:18:35something real quick okay what is this
- 00:18:38whole phase here called
- 00:18:40this whole phase of what I'm going from
- 00:18:41a prime from technically a primordial to
- 00:18:45a primary a primary to an early
- 00:18:47secondary and early secondary to a late
- 00:18:49secondary and then a late secondary to a
- 00:18:50tertiary graafian follicle this is
- 00:18:53called the follicular phase so again
- 00:18:55what is this here called this is called
- 00:18:57the follicular phase and again in the
- 00:19:04follicular phase what am I actually
- 00:19:05doing I'm going from a primordial
- 00:19:08follicle to a primary follicle to a
- 00:19:13early secondary follicle to a late
- 00:19:17secondary follicle to a graafian
- 00:19:21follicle okay that's what's happening so
- 00:19:24in this step let's actually do it again
- 00:19:26what happens here primordial all the way
- 00:19:31to a graafian follicle okay and who is
- 00:19:37stimulating this step primarily
- 00:19:40primarily it is ask SH but who else is
- 00:19:45producing produced in a small amount
- 00:19:47that helps in this process it's also
- 00:19:48going to be luteinizing hormone
- 00:19:51what's the product of this reaction or
- 00:19:54this follicular phase do you remember
- 00:19:56that you actually undergo mitosis or
- 00:19:58proliferation
- 00:19:59so there's mitosis not meiosis mitosis
- 00:20:03of these granulosa cells making multiple
- 00:20:06layers what else there's a sturgeon
- 00:20:09production so estrogen is produced what
- 00:20:14else is happening you're producing
- 00:20:15follicular fluid and what else at the
- 00:20:22end of this follicular phase you go from
- 00:20:25a primary oocytes
- 00:20:28all the way to a secondary oocyte okay
- 00:20:34now we need to talk about something else
- 00:20:37to this follicular phase is occurring
- 00:20:40from about days 1 to 14 so again it's
- 00:20:42occurring from about days 1 all the way
- 00:20:47to day 14 this is my average not every
- 00:20:52ovulation cycle is obviously perfect but
- 00:20:54on average a follicular phase is
- 00:20:55generally days 1 to 14 so around the mid
- 00:20:59part of the follicular phase so day 7 8
- 00:21:02or 9 right estrogen levels start rising
- 00:21:04because you're producing a lot of
- 00:21:06estrogen during this time period so you
- 00:21:07know where estrogen is actually going
- 00:21:09it's going into the bloodstream so look
- 00:21:10it's going into the blood moving into
- 00:21:12the blood here you're producing it here
- 00:21:14it's moving into the blood right there
- 00:21:15right now this estrogen let's follow it
- 00:21:18look what happens here it's actually
- 00:21:19going to come through the blood and look
- 00:21:21what happens to this estrogen levels so
- 00:21:24as they're rising around mid follicular
- 00:21:26phase they come over to the hypothalamus
- 00:21:29and they also go to the anterior
- 00:21:34pituitary and look what they do to it
- 00:21:36they exert a negative feedback mechanism
- 00:21:41okay so as estrogen levels are rising
- 00:21:46right because it was in the blood and as
- 00:21:48it rises in the blood what happens it
- 00:21:51comes up to the hypothalamus and
- 00:21:53inhibits the hypothalamus from secreting
- 00:21:55GnRH it also inhibits the anterior
- 00:21:58pituitary from releasing FSH and LH now
- 00:22:03when it does that you're not going to
- 00:22:06make as much FSH and you're not going to
- 00:22:08make as much LH and then what's going to
- 00:22:11happen this actual production of
- 00:22:13estrogen is eventually going to drop but
- 00:22:17estrogen levels drop if they come back
- 00:22:19again so now let's actually say that
- 00:22:22estrogen levels come back up again so at
- 00:22:24certain levels they get they actually
- 00:22:25increase not when do they increase again
- 00:22:27to high high levels around day 14 so
- 00:22:30let's say that we get to about day 13
- 00:22:32day 14 estrogen levels start rising in
- 00:22:35the blood again so now let's come back
- 00:22:37over here let's show the second time
- 00:22:39here as red so when is this time this is
- 00:22:45around the end of follicular phase and
- 00:22:51this is when mid follicular phase and
- 00:23:01then what happens when that happens
- 00:23:04there exerts a negative feedback
- 00:23:05mechanism look what happens when it
- 00:23:07rises again towards the end of the
- 00:23:10follicular phase does something really
- 00:23:12really weird oh look at that in that
- 00:23:17weird guys it stimulates the
- 00:23:23hypothalamus to produce tons of GnRH it
- 00:23:26stimulates the anterior pituitary to
- 00:23:28produce tons of LH now you notice I
- 00:23:31didn't say a lot of FSH why because you
- 00:23:34know the graafian follicle is also
- 00:23:35really special whenever you get to that
- 00:23:38like the end of the follicular phase it
- 00:23:39notices this rise in estrogen and it
- 00:23:42produces a really cool chemical look at
- 00:23:45this chemical that this guy produces
- 00:23:47this chemical is called inhibin not
- 00:23:52technically if we were to be specific as
- 00:23:53inhibin be look what inhibin b does it
- 00:23:56comes over here and it inhibits the
- 00:24:00anterior pituitary from releasing FSH
- 00:24:04let me repeat that one more time
- 00:24:07the graafian follicle as a result of
- 00:24:09this high amounts of estrogen production
- 00:24:11high amounts of FSH production it
- 00:24:14releases inhibin b
- 00:24:16and heaven B then inhibits the anterior
- 00:24:20pituitary from releasing FSH but what
- 00:24:23was the high estrogen levels towards the
- 00:24:25end of the follicular phase doing the
- 00:24:26high oxygen levels at the end of the
- 00:24:28follicular phase were promoting a
- 00:24:30positive feedback mechanism to stimulate
- 00:24:33the hypothalamus to release gene RH and
- 00:24:35to stimulate the actual anterior
- 00:24:37pituitary to produce tons of LH you know
- 00:24:40what this is called whenever you produce
- 00:24:41massive amounts of LH it's called the LH
- 00:24:44surge okay now look what this LH is
- 00:24:47going to do this LH is actually going to
- 00:24:50come over here to the graafian follicle
- 00:24:51and it's going to work in this step
- 00:24:53primarily so he is primarily going to be
- 00:24:56working in this step this this whole
- 00:24:59graphing of follicle look what he does
- 00:25:01it's actually really cool so you know
- 00:25:02what he does over here you know there's
- 00:25:04blood vessels that are supplying this so
- 00:25:06let's say I draw like a tiny system of
- 00:25:08blood vessels right here
- 00:25:09what LH does is is it increases the
- 00:25:13actual blood flow and permeability to
- 00:25:15this part of the graphing follicle if it
- 00:25:19applies a lot of vascular permeability
- 00:25:20to this part of the follicle what
- 00:25:22happens you start producing a lot of
- 00:25:25follicular fluid
- 00:25:26so this follicular fluid production
- 00:25:28continues to increase but over here
- 00:25:30there's not a lot follicular fluid being
- 00:25:32produced guess what else he does over
- 00:25:34here he activates special enzymes look
- 00:25:38at these enzymes look what these enzymes
- 00:25:40are little scissor enzymes you know what
- 00:25:44these scissor enzymes are they're called
- 00:25:45proteases you know what these proteases
- 00:25:48are going to start doing they're going
- 00:25:49to start eating away around this tissue
- 00:25:53of the graafian follicle so it starts
- 00:25:56eating away and breaking down specific
- 00:25:58tissue around the graafian follicle so
- 00:26:02what is this actual always I look in a
- 00:26:04different view look I'll show you here
- 00:26:05in a different view let's say here is
- 00:26:06the OA site and look it's coming up off
- 00:26:09the surface right there so right here is
- 00:26:11the OA site popping up off the surface
- 00:26:14and then what's surrounding it that
- 00:26:16don't Appaloosa right so there's that
- 00:26:17zona pellucida surrounding it right here
- 00:26:21then right around that you're going to
- 00:26:24have those granulosa cells right
- 00:26:25so all those granulosa cells are
- 00:26:28surrounding it
- 00:26:29now it popped up across the top of the
- 00:26:32surface here what luteinizing hormone
- 00:26:35does is he activates specific enzymes
- 00:26:38these proteolytic enzymes and these
- 00:26:40proteolytic enzymes start cutting up
- 00:26:42that little piece you around that area
- 00:26:45that's keeping it elevated above the
- 00:26:46surface and it's increasing the blood
- 00:26:49flow to the antrum over here what
- 00:26:50eventually happens if you start cutting
- 00:26:52this little structure way that stigma
- 00:26:53they call it it pops it out it pops the
- 00:26:57secondary oocytes out of this graafian
- 00:26:59follicle so what would that what will
- 00:27:01happen it look what happens look what
- 00:27:02comes out of this out of this we have
- 00:27:08our secondary oocytes who's frozen and
- 00:27:10what he's frozen in metaphase 2 he has
- 00:27:15the zona pellucida membrane around him
- 00:27:17and then directly around that one you
- 00:27:20have you have those granulosa cells
- 00:27:23specifically which ones the corona
- 00:27:25radiata cells what is this step right
- 00:27:28here call whenever you eject or you pop
- 00:27:30that secondary oocytes that's frozen in
- 00:27:33metaphase two out of the graafian
- 00:27:34follicle this right here is called
- 00:27:36ovulation
- 00:27:37when does that usually occur usually
- 00:27:40this event occurs around mid cycle but
- 00:27:43like I said it's not everyone has a
- 00:27:44perfect cycle but it's usually around
- 00:27:46day 14 or day 15 that's what we assume
- 00:27:49right so again this is actually going to
- 00:27:51be called the ovulatory phase okay
- 00:27:56now the obvious Tori phase like I said
- 00:27:59is technically assuming a normal cycle
- 00:28:03about days 14 to 15 anywhere within this
- 00:28:07time period okay so somewhere in between
- 00:28:09day 14 and 15 is when the ovulatory
- 00:28:12phase is occurring and again who is
- 00:28:14triggering this phase this phase is
- 00:28:17triggered by the LH surge okay that's
- 00:28:25the ovule Ettore space now look what
- 00:28:27else really happens this is really cool
- 00:28:29females are just intuitive that they
- 00:28:31know that they need to be able to take
- 00:28:33this Oh a sight into their fallopian
- 00:28:34tubes you know what happens right around
- 00:28:36this time whenever the ovulation occurs
- 00:28:39this fimbriae see these little fingers
- 00:28:41here of the fallopian
- 00:28:42tubes they become really stiff and then
- 00:28:46they start scraping across the surface
- 00:28:47of the ovary and when they scrape across
- 00:28:50the surface of the ovary it creates like
- 00:28:52little fluid filled currents so there's
- 00:28:54like some gnarly waves in here that are
- 00:28:56being produced right and it's kind of
- 00:28:57kind of like pushing and scooting that
- 00:28:59little OA site towards this actual fan
- 00:29:02brea the fallopian tubes so look what
- 00:29:04happens as a result it starts moving
- 00:29:05this guy towards the fallopian tubes and
- 00:29:08it catches it so what happens is it
- 00:29:10catches the actual secondary oocytes
- 00:29:12frozen a metaphase - catches it once
- 00:29:15it's caught it undergoes this little
- 00:29:17beading mechanism so look what happens
- 00:29:18in here and here we have these simple
- 00:29:22columnar cells and these simple columnar
- 00:29:25cells on their surface they have cilia
- 00:29:29and this cilia are going to beat that
- 00:29:32little ol site into this area of the
- 00:29:35actual fallopian tube so you see this
- 00:29:37area right here this is called the
- 00:29:39ampulla of the fallopian tubes okay so
- 00:29:42it pushes it right into this area and
- 00:29:44keeps it localized in this area for
- 00:29:47fertilization to eventually occur right
- 00:29:49so whenever the sperm cell comes to that
- 00:29:50vicinity
- 00:29:51okay so ovulation it ejects the
- 00:29:54secondary oocyte out the fimbria the
- 00:29:56fallopian tubes are going stiff and push
- 00:29:58fluid field currents that push it into
- 00:29:59the femme Brahe and it catches it and it
- 00:30:01keeps it in the ampulla until the sperm
- 00:30:03cell comes and actually tries to
- 00:30:05fertilize it okay now what else happens
- 00:30:10okay so we did the IV Latorre phase now
- 00:30:13we're going to go into this last phase
- 00:30:14so this last phase here is actually
- 00:30:17called specifically it's called the
- 00:30:19luteal phase you'll see why so it's
- 00:30:23called the luteal phase okay
- 00:30:29so where were we at we were here at the
- 00:30:31graafian follicle or dejected that
- 00:30:32secondary oocytes frozen in metaphase
- 00:30:34two out what happens is LH is what's
- 00:30:37stimulated that process but guess what
- 00:30:39else it stimulates this the structure
- 00:30:41here becomes filled with blood and it's
- 00:30:43called the corpus hemorrhagic um when it
- 00:30:46gets filled with blood LH actually does
- 00:30:48something again so let's actually
- 00:30:50represent LH and this color now so LH is
- 00:30:53actually going to stimulate this step
- 00:30:54again
- 00:30:55so not only is going to trigger
- 00:30:57ovulation but he's going to turn some of
- 00:30:59these cells these granulosa cells the
- 00:31:01ones that are still there he's going to
- 00:31:02specialized them he's going to
- 00:31:03differentiate them they're going to
- 00:31:05start accumulating a lot of lipids a lot
- 00:31:06of cholesterol a lot of fat and it's
- 00:31:08going to turn yellow you know another
- 00:31:10word for yellow is is ludia you know so
- 00:31:12what happens this structure here the
- 00:31:14graafian follicle luteinizing hormone
- 00:31:17stimulates him to get converted into
- 00:31:18this specialized hormone producing
- 00:31:20factory you know what this hormone
- 00:31:22producing Factory is called this hormone
- 00:31:24producing Factory is specifically called
- 00:31:28the corpus luteum so what is the
- 00:31:32structure here called it's called the
- 00:31:34corpus luteum now LH triggers the
- 00:31:41conversion of the graafian follicle that
- 00:31:43ruptured into the corpus luteum but you
- 00:31:45know what else he does so look what
- 00:31:46happens corpus luteum you know the CC
- 00:31:48this LH he's going to directly stimulate
- 00:31:51the corpus luteum and as a result the
- 00:31:53corpus luteum produces a very very
- 00:31:55important hormone this hormone is called
- 00:31:57pro gesture own okay so this hormone is
- 00:32:04called pro gesture own so LH is
- 00:32:11stimulating the corpus luteum to not
- 00:32:13only be converted in from a graafian
- 00:32:14follicle that ruptured into this corpus
- 00:32:16luteum but it also stimulates the corpus
- 00:32:19luteum to produce progesterone
- 00:32:22now this luteal phase that i told you
- 00:32:26right so again what's the trigger here
- 00:32:28this is going to be converting the one
- 00:32:30graafian into the corpus luteum who's
- 00:32:39the primary hormone involved in this
- 00:32:41step the primary hormone involved in
- 00:32:43this is going to be luteinizing hormone
- 00:32:46and then what's the result of this
- 00:32:48luteinizing hormone luteinizing hormone
- 00:32:51is actually stimulating me corpus luteum
- 00:32:53to produce what progesterone so it's
- 00:32:57stimulating the corpus luteum to produce
- 00:32:58a very important hormone which is called
- 00:33:00pro just their own that's what
- 00:33:05luteinizing almost going
- 00:33:06now the luteal phase is about from now
- 00:33:08again assuming a normal period I'm sorry
- 00:33:11I knew a normal ovulatory cycle is from
- 00:33:13about days 15 to 28 so again on normal
- 00:33:17the luteal phase is generally
- 00:33:18approximately about days 15 to 28 all
- 00:33:25right and the luteal phase is going to
- 00:33:28be what happens when the graafian
- 00:33:30follicle that ruptured gets converted to
- 00:33:32the corpus luteum and then the
- 00:33:34luteinizing hormone stimulates the
- 00:33:36corpus luteum to produce progesterone
- 00:33:39now that will pretty much give us
- 00:33:42everything that we need to know for the
- 00:33:44ovulatory cycle okay in the next video
- 00:33:48we're going to go over the menstrual
- 00:33:50cycle and see how estrogen and
- 00:33:52progesterone hormones are going to
- 00:33:54affect the actual uterus and all the
- 00:33:56different types of activities that occur
- 00:33:57there
