HOW THE HORMONES ARE LINKED
---------------------------------
FSH is released by the _______ gland into the ________?
pituitary gland
bloodstream
36 of 47
It causes the eggs?
to mature
37 of 47
At the same time, FSH also triggers the ______ to produce______?
triggers the ovaries to produce oestrogen
38 of 47
Oestrogen causes?
the lining of the uterus to build up

40 of 47
Then instead the pituitary gland will release ?

41 of 47
This causes?

42 of 47
Once the ovary has released the egg, it will produce the hormone?
progesterone
43 of 47

Firstly it will ____ the pituitary gland releasing ___ and __?
inhibit the pituitary gland releasing FSH and LH
44 of 47
This prevents any more?
