3 stages of female reproductive system...
menarche - ANSWER the first menstrual period
Indication of puberty in girls - ANSWER menarche/first menstral cycle
Menarche preceded by increase of what? - ANSWER estrogen and
progesterone
What is menstration controlled by? - ANSWER hormones
Hormones of the female reproductive system - ANSWER FSH, LH,
(gonadotropic)
estrogen, progesterone
For estrogen to be secreted out, we need what? - ANSWER FSH
FSH stimulates ovary to release what? - ANSWER estrogen
LH stimulates what? - ANSWER progesterone production
FSH and LH are produced where? * - ANSWER pituitary gland
Estrogen does what? - ANSWER Develops female secondary sex
characteristics (breast development) and monthly cyclic changes in uterus
Matures reproductive organs
phases of menstrual cycle - ANSWER follicular phase, ovulation, luteal phase,
,menstruation
onset of menses is day - ANSWER 1
average time of cycle - ANSWER 28 days
should occur ever 21-35
avg length of menstral cycle - ANSWER 2-8 days
avg blood loss - ANSWER 20-80mL
Follicular phase - ANSWER -beginning of cycle
-hormones are least hormonally active
-FSH increases which stimulates estrogen secretion
FSH goes into what feedback system in the follicular phase? - ANSWER
negative
Have to have FSH to start cycle but do you need it to finish the cycle? -
ANSWER no
around 12th day of the cycle what peaks? - ANSWER estrogen
When estrogen increases what happens to FSH? - ANSWER decreases
As follicles mature this signifies what hormone to increase? - ANSWER
estrogen to increase
FSH causes follicles to do what? - ANSWER mature
As FSH decreases and estrogen increases, what happens to LH? - ANSWER
increases
Phase 1 ends with - ANSWER release of oocyte
,secretory or luteal phase - ANSWER supports endometrium and becomes
more thick and more vascular
-estrogen, lh, and fsh decrease is not fertilized
on 12th day, what peaks? - ANSWER estrogen
as estrogen peaks, what happens to LH? - ANSWER peaks
Progesterone supports what during this time? - ANSWER endometrium
1-2 days after surge, if fertilization does not occur, what happens to LH? -
ANSWER decreases because we no longer need endometrium for ovum
Decrease in LH leads to decrease in what hormones? - ANSWER estrogen
Phase two we are essentially looking for: - ANSWER fertilization
ovulation occurs when? - ANSWER day 14 of the menstrual cycle
Menstrual or ischemic is the.... - ANSWER end of the cycle and beginning of
the next
In the menstrual/ischemic cycle the endometrial lining does what? - ANSWER
sloughs
In the final stage: If fertilization doesn't occur, what happens? - ANSWER
endometrial lining sloughs
Lifetime of allocation of follicles is present when? - ANSWER in the ovaries
prior to birth
5 months gestation: several million follicles
After birth: 4 mil- 2 mil
, Onset of menses: 300,000-400,000
Reproductive years- approx. 500
As aging occurs- continual decline - ANSWER
Once all ovarian follicles have been depleted, decreasing secretion of
estrogen and progesterone is - ANSWER menopause
Age related changes for menopause: - ANSWER -end of reproductive
years/ovaries are no longer active
-approx 4 years before last cycle will notice irregularity in cycle
-estrogen and progesterone decrease
-FSH increases
when are you considered post menopause? - ANSWER 12 months after final
menstrual cycle
S/S of menopause - ANSWER -hot flashes
-bladder sx
-mood swings
-decreased pelvic support
-decreased libido
