produced in the ovaries and newly fertilised eggs, secreted constantly but is made by the development of a follicle and when FSH is secreted

Oestrogen action
promotes maintance and development of female reproductive structursm secondary sex characteristics, anabolic increase protein production, reduces blood cholesterol, helps build up endothelium
2 of 17
Progesterone
produced in ovaries and corpus luteum, secreted in second half of menstural cycle
3 of 17

acts on tissues effected by oestrogen, makes tissue soft or secretory, makes cervical mucus thick, resets thermoregulation

5 of 17
FSH action
stimulates follicles within ovaries to mature, regulates devellopment, pubertal maturation, reproductive process

LH
produced by anterior pituitary, secreted when FSH low or when GNRH is released
7 of 17
Lh action
triggers ovulation, development of corpus luteum
8 of 17
GNRH
produced by hypothalamus, secreted from pituitary
9 of 17
GNRH action
stimulates other hormones from the pituitary gland
10 of 17
Follicular development
recruitment, selection, follicle, dominance, ovulation, corpus luteum, corpus albicans
11 of 17
menstural
day 1-5 loss of lining, drop in oestrogen and progesterone causes spiral arteries spaces and opening of anastomisis
12 of 17
proliferative
day 5-14, vuild up of lining, oestrogen stimulates rapid growth (folicular)
ovulated ovum, devloping corpus luteum, corpus luteum, corpus albicans
