32
Q

Low levels of estrogen and progesterone during the hypothalamic-pituitary cycle stimulate the hypothalamus to secrete what?

A

GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone)

33
Q

When the hypothalamus stimulates the release of GnRH during the hypothalamic-pituitary cycle, GnRH causes the anterior pituitary to release what?

A

FSH that stimulate the development of ovarian follicle

34
Q

Release of GnRH in the hypothalamic-pituitary cycle also stimulates the release of what?

35
Q

During the ovarian cycle, FSH and LH were released during the hypothalamic-pituitary cycle causing the stimulation of the ovaries to produce what?

A
  • Estrogen

- Progesteron

36
Q

During the ovarian cycle, Estrogen and progesterone are produced causing the uterus to do what?

A

Proliferate

37
Q

During the ovarian cycle, when the uterus proliferates, if fertilization does not occur what happens?

A

The corpus luteum regresses and menstruation occurs

38
Q

During the ovarian cycle, when he uterus proliferates, if fertilization occurs then what happens?

A

The corpus luteum produces some estrogen a a lot of progesterone

39
Q

Why during the ovarian cycle, if fertilization occurs is a little estrogen but a lot of progesterone produced?

A

Progesterone is the hormone of pregnancy

40
Q

45
Q

What does the proliferative phase depend upon?

A

Estrogen stimulation of from ovarian follicles

46
Q

52
Q

During the ischemic phase the corpus luteum does what?

A

degenerates and regresses

53
Q

During the ischemic phase a rapid decrease in estrogen and progesterone causes arteries to spasm and what to occur?

54
Q

During the ischemic phase when ischemia occurs what is happening?
