What do the ovaries produce? - Ovum, estrogen and progesterone
FSH function - Initial follicle development
Where is FSH produced? - anterior pituitary gland
Is there a lot of FSH and LH in the system when menstruation begins? - No
LH function - Stimulates and completes follicular growth (also turns ruptured follicle into corpus
luteum)
LH surge triggers what? - ovulation
Where is GnRH produced? - hypothalamus
GnRH function - stimulates release of FSH and LH
most potent form of estrogen - estradiol
Where is estradiol made? - ovaries
What is estrogen responsible for? - Maturing eggs and uterine lining, develops cervical fluid
, Is there a lot of estrogen when a new cycle begins? - No
Where is progesterone produced? - corpus luteum
What does progesterone do? - Maintains uterine lining, maintains pregnancy, produces heat
Cycle day 1 what hormones are present in large amounts? - None
Why does uterine lining shed? - No progesterone to maintain the lining, constricting blood
vessels
As soon as menstruation begins, what hormone is being produced? - FSH
What occurs on day 5 of menstruation? - Menses is ending, LH produced, follicles develop
granulosa cells, estrogen produced
What does estrogen signal the hypothalamus to do? - Produce GnRH (which causes LH to
increase)
What happens on day 7 of cycle? - Estrogen production sharply increases in dominant follicle,
uterine lining grows (5-7mm)
What happens on day 12 off cycle? - Estrogen decreases FSH and LH until estrogen levels are so
high that LH surges
What happens on cycle day 13? - FSH surge, estrogen production shuts down, follicle fully
mature
