Understanding Ovulation
Hormones of the female reproductive cycle: Anterior pituitary gland: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH): Stimulates growth of ovarian follicles, and estrogen.
Pituitary Gland FSH Primordial follicles Growing follicles LH.
C) The Menstrual Cycle The female menstrual cycle takes an average of 28 days. (Variation is common). The cycle occurs in four phases if no fertilization.
Ovulation and Menstruation. Function of Menstrual Cycle Uterine walls thickens with rich blood supply in preparation for a fertilized egg If fertilization.
 Follicle Stimulating Hormones (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH)- released in the pituitary gland.  Estrogen- Development of the female secondary sexual.

The Uterine (Menstrual) Cycle CHRISTIAN CHEW BIOL 260 | TUESDAY LAB | TONINI

Menstrual Cycle – cycle of changes the endometrium undergoes -Body’s preparation for implantation of an embryo and shedding if no embryo is implanted. Menstrual Phase – Days 1-5 Proliferative Phase (Preovulatory) – Days 6-14 Secretory Phase (Postovulatory) – Days 15-28

Hypothalamus GnRH – stimulates release of FSH & LH from Anterior Pituitary Anterior Pituitary FSH - Stimulation of follicles to mature, prepare for reproduction LH - Triggers ovulation and development of the corpus luteum Ovaries Estrogen – released by ovaries & corpus luteum. Progesterone - thickens the endometrial lining Estrogen and Progesterone - inhibit GnRH, FSH, LH secretion

Factors affecting Menstruation  Pregnancy – occurs after ovulation. Fertilization takes place in Fallopian tube. Implantation in the uterine endometrium.  Adipose Tissue – energy storage for reproduction.  Intense exercise – exercise-induced amenorrhea  Change in production and regulation of reproductive hormones.  Age – ovaries slow estrogen production
