Accept no less!!

An agonizing thought is thinking about the people who enjoy going to school to get away from what’s happening to them at home,and being more stuck with their abuser if they’ve been unemployed. My heart and soul goes out to every single one of them,I pray they stay strong and don’t turn to drugs or even worse regardless of what’s happening to them.May things get better.

So my blog is a chaotic mess with pretty much only random reblogs and I barely have any followers BUT

I’m in med school in a third world country ie we can start med right after high school (cool amiright) and I’m seriously considering starting to post random little tidbits like stuff I learnt today.

It’s definitely not gonna be a nice neat and organized studyblur and random shit posts and fandom things might be somewhere in the stream but anyone thinks that’ll be interesting?

Ovulation

Right so I did say that I’ll start talking about what we learn in med school. I’m currently doing the reproductive/ female system. And boy is it complicated but it’s also pretty amazing.

So as I’m still studying obviously let’s talk about the best thing I learnt in the first two days.

How your body releases eggs in the midpoint of the cycle. I’m not gonna talk about the hormonal basis here. Maybe in a future post.

Please excuse my rambling from this point onwards.Also I don’t know what kinda terminology should I use. Do I keep it as simple as possible? Or do I try to explain our terminology? Idk we’ll see if anyone interacts with this post.

Alright so the egg/ ovum/ oocyte develops in the ovary as we all know! It is supported through out its development by a surrounding group of cells forming a follicle.

The final follicle (mature/ graafian) is relatively huge with a 2-2.5 cm diameter. This means that it bulges on the surface.

24-36 hours before ovulation, blood flow to the part of the ovarian wall overlying this bulge stops ——> it eventually ruptures exposing the follicle. A couple of things happen inside the follicle leading to the egg with some surrounding follicular cells being expelled into the abdominal cavity.

Yes, the egg is just there chilling in the middle of all your abdominal organs. The end of the tubes/ oviduct/ Fallopian tube closest to the ovary is funnel shaped and has finger like extensions (Fimbria). They pick up the egg to send it to the uterus eventually.

So what if they fail to pick up the egg? In most cases nothing happens. But if a particularly active sperm manages to somehow reach the egg and fertilize it, we get an ectopic pregnancy in the abdomen. There are case reports about these pregnancies and here’s the link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4170250/
