Ovaries and follicle development Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. THE BREAST & MAMMARY GLANDS Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Mammary Glands I • Modified sweat glands consisting of 15–25 lobes • Areola: pigmented skin surrounding the nipple • Suspensory ligaments: attach the breast to underlying muscle • Lobules within lobes contain glandular alveoli that produce milk Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Mammary Glands II • Milk lactiferous ducts lactiferous sinuses open to the outside at the nipple Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 27.15 Breast Cancer: Detection and Treatment • 70% of women with breast cancer have no known risk factors • Early detection via self- examination and mammography • Treatment depends upon the characteristics of the lesion: • Radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery followed by irradiation and chemotherapy Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 27.16 Breast Cancer • Usually arises from the epithelial cells of small ducts • Risk factors include: • Early onset of menstruation and late menopause • No pregnancies or first pregnancy late in life • Family history of breast cancer • 10% are due to hereditary defects, including mutations to the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. OOGENESIS Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Oogenesis • Production of female gametes • Begins in the fetal period • Oogonia (2n ovarian stem cells) multiply by mitosis and store nutrients • Primary oocytes develop in primordial follicles • Primary oocytes begin meiosis but stall in prophase I Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Ovaries (Oogenesis II) • Follicle • Immature egg (oocyte) surrounded by • Follicle cells (one cell layer thick) • Granulosa cells (when more than one layer is present) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Follicles (Oogenesis III) • Several stages of development • Primordial follicle: squamouslike follicle cells + oocyte • Primary follicle: cuboidal or columnar follicle cells + oocyte • Secondary follicle: two or more layers of granulosa cells + oocyte • Late secondary follicle: contains fluid-filled space between granulosa cells; coalesces to form a central antrum Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Ovaries (Oogenesis V) • Vesicular (Graafian) follicle • Fluid-filled antrum forms; follicle bulges from ovary surface • Ovulation • Ejection of the oocyte from the ripening follicle • Corpus luteum develops from ruptured follicle after ovulation Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 27.11a Oogenesis VI • Each month after puberty, a few primary oocytes are activated • One is selected each month to resume meiosis I • Result is two haploid cells • Secondary oocyte • First polar body Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Oogenesis VII • The secondary oocyte arrests in metaphase II and is ovulated • If penetrated by sperm the second oocyte completes meiosis II, yielding • Ovum (the functional gamete) • Second polar body Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 27.17 OVARIAN CYCLE Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Ovarian Cycle • Monthly series of events associated with the maturation of an egg • Two consecutive phases (in a 28-day cycle) • Follicular phase: period of follicle growth (days 1–14) • Ovulation occurs midcycle • Luteal phase: period of corpus luteum activity (days 14–28) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Follicular Phase • Primordial follicle becomes primary follicle 1. The primordial follicle is activated • Squamouslike cells become cuboidal 2. Follicle enlarges to become a primary (1) follicle Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Primary follicle becomes a secondary follicle • Stratified epithelium (granulosa cells) forms around oocyte • Granulosa cells and oocyte guide one another’s development Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Follicular Phase 4. Secondary follicle becomes a late secondary follicle • Connective tissue (theca folliculi) and granulosa cells cooperate to produce estrogens • Zona pellucida forms around the oocyte • Fluid begins to accumulate Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Late secondary follicle becomes a vesicular follicle • Antrum forms and expands to isolate the oocyte with its corona radiata on a stalk • Vesicular follicle bulges from the external surface of the ovary • The primary oocyte completes meiosis I Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Ovulation • Ovary wall ruptures and expels the secondary oocyte with its corona radiata • Mittelschmerz: twinge of pain sometimes felt at ovulation • 1–2% of ovulations release more than one secondary oocyte, which, if fertilized, results in fraternal twins Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 27.18 (7 of 7) Establishing the Ovarian Cycle • During childhood, ovaries grow and secrete small amounts of estrogens that inhibit the hypothalamic release of GnRH • As puberty nears, GnRH is released; FSH and LH are released by the pituitary, and act on the ovaries • These events continue until an adult cyclic pattern is achieved and menarche occurs Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
