- Human Hormones
- Menstrual Cycle
- FSH- Follicle stimulating hormone
- Stimulates the development of an egg inside a follicle
- Stimulates the ovary to release oestrogen
- Made and secreted by the Pituitary Gland
- Stimulates the ovary to release oestrogen
- Stimulates the development of an egg inside a follicle
- LH- Lutenising hormone
- causes ovulation
- Made in and secreted by the Pituitary Gland.
- causes ovulation
- Oestrogen
- Causes uterus lining to thicked
- inhibits the production of more FSH
- stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more LH
- inhibits the production of more FSH
- Causes uterus lining to thicked
- Progestergene
- Helps to maintain the womb lining
- Production of progestrerone stops, the lining of the womb breaks down.
- Helps to maintain the womb lining
- FSH- Follicle stimulating hormone
- Fertility
- In vitro Fertilisation
- The woman is given FSH so that her eggs produce more eggs.
- These eggs are collected and then fertilised by a sperm in vitro.
- The fertilised eggs develop into embryos a few healthy ones are implanted in to the woman's uterus.
- These eggs are collected and then fertilised by a sperm in vitro.
- The woman is given FSH so that her eggs produce more eggs.
- Oral Contraception
- Contraceptives contain hormones that prevent the release of eggs.
- The oestrogen is there to inhibit the production of FSH so that nmo eggs mature.
- If no eggs mature then no ovulation and the eggs can be fertilised by sperm cells thus fertilisation will not occur
- The oestrogen is there to inhibit the production of FSH so that nmo eggs mature.
- Contraceptives contain hormones that prevent the release of eggs.
- Fertility Drug
- Hormones can be given to stimulate egg release from ovaries
- A common cause of infertility is low levels of FSH, which means that the eggs do not mature or be released
- FSH may be given as a 'fertility drug' to a woman whose FSH is to low to stimulate the release of mature eggs.
- A common cause of infertility is low levels of FSH, which means that the eggs do not mature or be released
- Hormones can be given to stimulate egg release from ovaries
- In vitro Fertilisation
- Homeostasis
- This is controlling:core body temperature, blood glucose levels, blood water content, blood ions/ salt content, blood PH
- Maintaining a steady state, Keeping conditions controlled
- This is controlling:core body temperature, blood glucose levels, blood water content, blood ions/ salt content, blood PH
- Menstrual Cycle
